The First Water Lillies of 2007 are HERE!

If you look on the gray rock on the right you can see "Romeo".......this place is toad utopia! You can see the first parrots feather coming out next to the 2 blooms. I spent several hours in the pond yesterday, cleaning, arranging, and putting in some creeping jenny vines. The time passes so quickly when I am in the pond. I have a set of chest waders from Cabelas to wear, since it is over 4 feet deep. I wanted a deep pond to be able to leave my plants and fish out all winter. I lost a lot of fish this past winter, but there are hundreds of babies now........... Oh in case you want to see all the warts on Romeo and the water skippers, click on the photo, it blows up HUGE!!

The bell flowers are goats beard...........

Constance Spry is blooming, the winter really socked her, but she'll make it!

Lapins! Encore.........

Mint is the plant behind the white bunny, and sage is by his side. He sits in my nursery potager.
You can see a little girl feeding a rabbit in the center of this old majolica plate, and I love the dog, it must be a bull mastiff.

I bought this cracked ABC plate for a song many years ago, no one wants a cracked plate, except me! Ok Toni, that makes 7, but I have many more to share later!

More Bunnies

Ok this makes 4 bunnies, only need 3 more..........shouldn't be too hard to find around here!

Bunnies around here!

Ok Toni of Rabbit Hill, here you go! I thought I would start by introducing the real bunny first. This is Nibbles, he has lived with us for 3 yrs now, and here he is with his owner.

I think for the 7 things I will show 7 bunnies.......but I dont play tag!!!

Flower Children

I just want to show you my daughter and her adorable friend Roma! They look like Grateful Dead fans in their tie dyed tees! Never a dull moment with these two!

A Garden Buddy

I have been spending time in my gardens. It's make or break time, the weeds are coming in as thick as a carpet! Wild carrot is my enemy, and ragweed, thistle......and more. Everwhere I look there is an offender! As I worked last Friday, a little checkered sided garter snake basked in the center of my pocket garden. He was also amid the stacked stones of my little pond. He took me by surprise when he moved there! It took me 3 tries to get the stones stacked for the dripping falls.........it kept leaking out the back! Here is some of my work.........
