Wordless Wednesday 9.5.12 – Splash of Color!
I’m not usually a fan of annuals planted as one big block of sameness, but here the lack of complexity in the landscape really calls out for something, making this display appear quite brilliant. What do you think?
A splash of Petunias brightens up an otherwise monochromatic landscape!

Spring is springing!
Each day new signs of spring are emerging, despite the recent cold temperatures. I took my camera out in the yard over the last few days, and look what I found!

It won’t be long before all these buds are open and filling the yard with color, and we’ll be looking for the next succession of blossoms to cheer us up!
I hope Spring is on your doorstep also!

More RAIN!
Another day of rain yesterday, and honestly, I am struggling to find the silver lining. Here are a few positives; the reservoirs are full, lawns are staying green and the irrigation systems are not being used as much (Yeah!), most of the wet weather has been spaced out enough to limit basement water (Double Yeah!). What I am most excited about though is the crop of mushrooms that have appeared in our yard. Have a look!
It’s Hard to outdo Mother Nature, when it comes to simple beauty, and I look forward to moments like these. Truly, it’s the little things that make life enjoyable.
See you in the mushroom garden,
Scott
