The Week That Was......







Here are a few pictures...
Of my week at home....
So excited...
One of my Pussywillow branches...that I put in my planter....has leaves!!!
that means...
It has roots!!!
YAY!!! 
Success!!
I will leave it for a while...
Transplant into a pot...
Plant in the Fall at the cottage!!
So happy about this!





A few more Tulips opened up at the front...
These were from my front planter last year!
So happy they made it!
GOSH...I am sounding really happy...
But...to tell you the truth...not so happy...
Only because I am still at home...
And not at the cottage..due to crappy weather...
Oh well...
We will go tomorrow...

Ok...back to the week that was!!


  Front Ferns and Hostas looking good...

  Lots more Hostas to come....and Lily Of The Valley...

  Perhaps next week.... 



  Ok....back to being happy...I thought my Forget-me-nots forgot to come up!!!
  Found a small patch at the front....seems to have some pink in there as well...
  Happy...happy....happy!

 



  Did a little bit more clean-up...lots of needles from the big old Pine tree...

 

   OK....my boyfriend and I got the pool cover off....water looks pretty scuzzy eh???

  After some sweeping,vacuuming, more sweeping...chlorine...and a day later...

  TA DA!!    Looks a 1000 times better!   {that is just me folding laundry...2 more loads to go}

  Tomatoes and avacadoes sunning themselves...amde them into a Greek salad that night...

                Very juicy! 




   The backyard yielded a small patch of forget-me-nots as well...

   These were a deeper blue than at the front...

   Wonder if there are any at the cottage....{will have to wait to see}

   Kalanchoe out for the summer...tiny Hens and Chicks looking a bit grim...

   Hopefullly they will pick up... 

  


   While digging out a few stray bamboo shoots...

   I discovered this lovely yellow Tulip...completely hidden....lovely!

   And...the ants...are loving the Peonies!!! 







  Earlier in the week...

  I mentioned some sweet   cantaloupe...

         Well...

  Not to disappoint...

  Here are a few pics!

  You can see how juicy it was...

          I bought another one...

       It is cut and ready to go to the   
cottage....
         supposed to be warmer this weekend...
                  .fingers crossed...

 

   Hope you all had a great day...

   Had a real downpour earlier....while I was out...of course!!

   Picked up 2 gigantic ferns at Walmart....$9.88 each!!!    Fantastic....

   They are for the cottage...so I will get a pic this weekend!!
