Pink roses!

Here’s a picture of the rose that (finally!!!!) likes where it’s been planted. This rose has been moved no fewer than 5 times in the last 7 years. phew! and this is the very first year it’s bloomed.

Today:

There are at least 10 more buds just waiting to open! Yay!!!!

Tiny daffodils!

Check out what sprung up in my yard in the last couple of days!

I did not know that any of the bulbs I bought last fall were for miniature narcissus….. but these are definitely in the newly planted part of my yard.

April Flowers!

Speaking of April flowers — does anyone know what this one is? I got the plant out of a friend’s garden, it’s pretty low to the ground, has spotted leaves, and apparently it blooms with little pink and purple flowers!

Pindzele

David asked what the critter is called…. officially her name is “Pindzele” which means paintbrush in Latvian. Yesterday, however, her name was @#!(*&!!! which also translates as “no! no! no! no! NOOOO!”

we had some issues.

oh, the joys of having a kitten.

Wisteria

Proof positive for my mom that the wisteria has decided it likes it by my house!

June Mushroom

I forgot I took a picture of this mushroom (at work) shortly after all of the flooding last month….
