…the one with all the holy crap how big is your garden, anyway?! ;o)

An update on the nature trying to kill me – it’s way better now. Whatever it was is either done flowering or dead or whatever, thank goodness. I can breathe again and I’m way less cranky! (RR is very happy about the last one…) ;o)

So…since the whining is over (for now) on to the pretty (and since you guys have had to listen to so much whining lately, you get extra pretty this week):

(the above plant was last seen here – pretty cool, isn’t it?)

My roses are blooming! yay!! (I didn’t lose any roses this winter, either! double yay!!)

Another clematis above and below, another peony!

As always, after the page loads, if you clickety the pictures they’ll get bigger and you can click through them like a slideshow.

So, that’s all for this week, have a great weekend! I might even have some more eye candy for you on Monday… ;o)

p.s. How many of you rushed out to get your new 3G S today? ;op

…the one with some more nature…and maybe I’ll throw a dog in there for some spice.  ;o)

btw, the nature?  Trying to kill me.  I’ve taken two Zyrtec and not only am I a little jittery but my ears STILL itch and I STILL can’t breathe.  At all.  This sucks.  Oh and it’s raining.  /whine

ohyeah, you came here for the pretty, not the whining.  ;o)

Honeysuckle on the front of my house – the Hummingbirds are loving this plant!

The promise of lots of tomatoes…if we ever see the sun again.  ;o)

…and Jazz, taunting Beanie into chasing her.  This goes on all. day.

That’s all I have for now, have a great weekend!

…the one with yet another walk through the garden.

I thought for sure I’d be showing you peonies this week but Mother Nature has had other ideas (although RR said they’d be blooming *last* week.  I guess his powers of prediction do not extend to herbaceous peonies…yes, I have been gloating over this.  No, I’m not proud of it).  This is what my peonies look like right now:

They are so. stubborn.  I’m starting to wonder if they’re going to bloom at all or if the tightly squeezed shut balls will just drop off out of spite.  Peonies can be persnickety bitches.  ;o)

So, you get Azaleas:

and Rhododendrons (with a visitor):

Still pretty, right?  Have a great weekend!
