Sodden and Squishy


The sun finally came out after nearly a week of overcast 
weather and rain. I am so glad we had the rain, it is the best 
thing for my garden and our lawn - but, I have so missed 
working in the garden and picking flowers for arrangements

The birds were even silent!
Well, now the sun is out and setting. The sky is gorgeous and
clear. I managed a quick walk outdoors.




I discovered this ancient bulb beginning to show its blooms. I 

sent a picture to our local radio garden guru, Walter Reeves. 

His crew could not identify it. When it is in full bloom, I 

will show it to you. Perhaps someone will recognize it. 






It is so very sodden out here. The ground squishes beneath my 

feet - like walking on mushrooms!



The flowers are droopy - I hope they recover enough for me to 

find some for a weekend arrangement!



We are enchanted by the beauty of our neighbor's dogwoods. T
They are so full and breathtaking



The sedum and daylilies are filling out.
It seems one day I will walk out and there will be a symphony
of blooms.





I hope you're having a marvelous day and are able to enjoy your
garden! I see many of you are experiencing your first spring
blooms! Mine are nearly done.



Have you ever purchased bulbs and they turned out completely
different. I wanted pink tulips for each of the four squares in
my brick garden - some are yellow, some are orange-pink and
some are white!


Oh, yes, and some are pink. Surprises - you never know what
you're going to get - I think they're quite lovely - perhaps
meant to be.
I am sharing this garden post with
Fishtail Cottage's
