  • Morning Discoveries in the Garden:
    • Laurrie: It really is the best time, early in the morning in the garden. I love the discoveries as you do, even if they are distressing (my ripening strawberries were the chipmunk's breakfast today). How nice to have a turtle resident in your garden!
    • joenesgarden: So glad to know I brought an early morning smile, Benita.
    • Benita: Lovely post-early morning coffee and a stroll through the "garden of best friends is a lovely ritual for me, too. Thanks for instigating my happy garden grin this morning! Benita
  • A Connecticut garden in May:
    • Andrew @ Gardening tips and Ideas: Clematis, Iris, Ferns and Peonies, all in one garden A true delight Thank you for sharing
    • joenesgarden: Laurrie, I hope you share photos of all these buds when they are in full bloom then I can enjoy yours when mine have passed peak.
    • Laurrie: Your blooms are lovely and precocious I think! Like Layanee's, my clematis is only in bud, yours are so much further along. And my iris (I have Beverly Sills too) is only budding, nowhere near open yet. How different each garden is, even in the same general area. Happy Spring!
  • Butterfly watching:
    • Heather: How sweet! And I love mum-mum instead of grandma. My mom goes by Meemaw. :)
