Gardening

It's a lovely Spring here in Virginia.  We've had fantastic weather for weeks, and the flowers are lush with blooms. Evan got out his new gardening tools from Grandma Kay and Grandma Barb, and helped me weed and dig and plant in the dirt. Here are some of our early spring bloomers - I can't wait to share what the rest of the summer brings!

Daffodils - we've got about 200 in various
beds throughout the yard.

Yellow Iris.  Huge!  White ones and
purple ones too.

Azalea bushes.  An early spring staple
in Virginia. This white one is just outside|
of our living room window, and nearly as tall.
It's a giant snowball of flowers!

Dogwood Tree - the state tree.  Delicate and gorgeous
spring flowers.

Lupines.  Fast becoming a garden favorite.

Rhododendron bush.  Touchy, but worth
the love when it flowers!
