blink and you'll miss it


it's amazing how all of a sudden, spring has sprung.  it's all over the garden.  the daffodils and tulips are a memory and all that is left is the greenery.  right now, the peonies and iris are in bloom.  this year, we have our first iris blooms, beautiful white flowers with a hint of purple. we planted them two years ago and this is the first season they bloomed, they have also spread so next year, we should have many blooms!  i generally do not think of myself of patient, but is amazing how a garden can teach you to wait.  last year, we lost a lot to a late spring freeze and then it was the drought so we have been waiting a long time to see our garden in spring.
