last week there was sort of a lull in the garden. Once growing season starts these lulls are few and far between and seriously last a couple of days at most, although they feel like eons to me.

Well, I left here for  3 days and came back to a bloom-splosion! Columbines, azaleas, clematis, daisies, calycanthus, lilacs, lilacs, and more lilacs, , the red horse chestnut tree, catmint, bearded iris all over the place, geraniums, honeysuckle, verbena,  moss phlox, the many ajuga varieties, baptisias , lupines;the list goes on and on

the garden looks amazing and the fragrance is divine wherever you go.

these are the times i am glad t be a gardener
