potpourri

the first clemetis. i also picked my first rose yesterday. i have 4 roses and they are all just loaded with buds. pictures will follow soon.

TA DA!! i guess all the mess on the table has its payoff. this new class is proving to be a fun challenge.

we have reached the 'detail' stage. can i honestly hope that this weekend finshes the project??

april showers

thursday brought my favorite kind of snowstorm - no shoveling!! i was going to include a picture but the snow, 5 very wet inches, melted away on it's own before i could even point and click!! with the snow gone - and still waiting for reliable sunshine - i'm making a garden tour pretty much every day and seeing something exciting every time. i have about 3-4 inches of clematis. the sedum out front is coming in nicely. the peony has one tall shoot but the rest has poked through now and is filling in it's circuit. what a fun time. and i picked up some garden accessories while visiting up north so i'm getting antsy to put them in place.
