Selective viewing

Parts of my yard are still a mess but from this angle, things are starting to look quite summery and inviting.

I didn’t plant flowers last fall

I had good intentions but things didn’t play out the way I hoped they would.

I’ll be mostly buying flowers this year and maybe sprinkling a few seeds so they’ll bloom in late summer early fall.

But we’ve had such crappy weather for so long now that I don’t even know if things would have grown yet anyway.

That’s my story and I’m sticking with it!

Do you know who *did* plant bulbs last fall?

My mother-in-law!

So I’m living vicariously through her garden.
