How very nice it is to see the

result of your labor. I claim no talent for gardening, but if you put some effort into preparing the earth and creating environment in which plants can grow, voila, you get green growing things and flowers.

These pics are from the beds in front of the house. Yeah, guess I'm bragging, but I should admit here that I've failed at these efforts sometimes.  So maybe it's okay to show my success.

 

I will look at these each day and admire their beauty and the miracle of their coming up from the earth.  They will not be around a long time, but they may return next year.

 

Now, if I only had something planted that would bloom in the summer. Gee, I'm still not finished.
