The Day Is Long

Winter Kale in flower~planted last fall

in a Mid Southern garden during early spring.

Lunaria annua

The morning is cool and inviting and the gardener heads out early.


She notices the tulips are fading, but still lovely~
The Costco Pinks are opened completely in the sun...

She says hello to a new daffodil and wishes she knew his name.

She stops to visit the wildflowers Notices the phacelia is in full bloom and makes a mental note to collect seeds.
The Spring Beauties hiding in the shade show their candy stripe pink.

Cercis canadensis

Overhead the brilliant blue sky is filled with color.

It couldn't be more perfect for working in the garden.

She's never alone or lonely out there ~

Coal the Cat King

Late afternoon is for resting on the porch.
A time to ponder the garden plans.

Hmm~wouldn't a red grass look good in this afternoon sun!
Note to self~Plant red grasses over the bulbs.

By the time evening rolls around the gardener is often
too tired to write a long post~
It's a good tired and she'll sleep well!

Tulipa clusiana var chrysantha

She hopes you have long and wonderful days in your garden~
