Spring is Here

Well Spring is finally here! Everything is in bloom up here and it is beautiful. Our apple and pear trees are in full bloom and we didn't get a late frost so we should have lots and lots of fruit this year. Here are some pictures of the yard.......

Here are the dianthus back this year and beautiful.

This is the north side of the house and all the new shrubs came back from last year.

These are mountain lilacs they are all down the side of the deck on the north side. They smell really strong. They will only bloom a couple of weeks longer.

These are hostas from last year. They grow really well in all of our shady areas. During the winter the entire plant above ground is gone.

And the final picture is the pansies out in front and in the baskets. We have to plant these each year. Soon it will get too hot for them and we will replace them with marigolds.
I love Spring!
