Plantin' and Growing Season Late...

Our flowering season is later here and no one dares to plant a garden until after Mother's Day...Our Iris' are blooming like crazy as well as the Laurels and Rhodedendrons (I know I didn't spell that one right : ) Falling tree blossoms and the winter's algae had made the fish pond very murky, so Giles cleaned it out this week...Wow! Those fish have a clean, clear pool now! It's a good thing we have a couple of big Birch trees hanging over the pond or our little fishies would be 'food' for some bird of prey! We have three fish...Big Red, Dennis & Eileen...although we suspect that Dennis is actually Denise and Eileen might be Allen..LOL Anyway, just wanted to share a few pics of 'what's happening around the Cabin In The Woods'...

Oh Barb, your place is wonderful! I love the pond and all the flowers and it's well along the way compared to cool ole Michigan! Thanks for sharing ")

Well Jen...it is pretty nice to have such a fantastic view of the mountains and all our flowers plus the wildflowers along the roadsides...haven't had the A/C on yet! Have to sleep under a couple of covers at night...no skeeters! Hmmmm...guess it is Paradise! : )
