Yard plants

Azaleas are still pretty along with the dogwoods.   I always take time to sit and gaze at them more as they bloom first and will not be seen again until next spring.

I am working on getting this area a little neater.

A friend of mine gave me the  hosta that you see here last year .  She found them growing in her compost pile.  


Hostas are easy to grow, except the voles and moles love them.
 
 
My boxwoods need a clipping soon

Look at all those flowering shrubs! I do have a few daffodils that have finally bloomed, but that's about it. Lovely!

Have a great rest of your week,
