This Week's Blooms

Caution: Before you begin, let me warn you that something has gone wrong with Blogger. What you see this morning is not what Blogger displays in the work window. I had uploaded all these photos, but Blogger would not cooperate, so I thought I had deleted all the but the mosaic and couple of other photos. After I published the post and viewed it, all of those deleted photos showed up in the post that do not appear in the work window. Go figure. I don't have time to spend all day trying to fix it, so please forgive me. I'll try to get it cleaned up later in the day or the week. (GRRRRR).

This Week's Blooms

I should be outside working in the garden this morning. Instead I am trying get the blog post going. Besides it is cold, threatening rain. Actually perfect weather to work up a sweat. This post will be short mostly because Blogger is not cooperating or the Internet is just plain slow or the The Cloud is over worked or . . . . Who knows.

There are new blooms this week to share: the dwarf irises in the front courtyard that seemed to appear all at once. One day they were silent, the next day they were screaming, "Hey we're here. Look down silly or you'll miss us." So not only did I look, but I took their picture. Happy now, guys? You made the blog for the second year in a row. 

Another bloomer new to the center circle garden, a bleeding heart that I planted last year. Not pink like the one in the back garden, but a deep coral color. Small this first year, she will grow and bring a splash of spring color.

I can never remember the name of the little white flowering ground cover. It will come to me later and you will recognize it. My dad planted it and I transplanted some to the Old House and then moved it here, but it didn't make it, so I have started all over. I am going to add more to fill in around the hostas that also survived the winter. 

I am waiting now on the peonies and bearded iris. 

When I posted last week the Head Gardener had just started to dig up the sprinkler lines. To give some perspective, the barn is 90 feet long, so he dug all the way along the barn and the along the drive way. I'll post more about his project once my technology straightens up.

I am headed over to Lavender Cottage to post for Mosaic Monday, so since this is such skimpy post, you might want to pop over there for more reading and blog hopping. Or you could check out Ann's Dollhouse Dreams for last week's post. Or maybe you could go out and work in your garden and save your reading for after dark.

At any rate have a great week. I'll see you again later in the week to catch up. 

Thanks for stopping by.
