No More Snow!

Oh, am I glad it is finally spring. The past winter was a tough one for my spirits! THe sun is out now though and my flowers are all popping out of their earthy world andf into mine! I love walking in the garden and counting buds on those blooms that only greet me once a year! I am eagerly awaiting my peonies, iris, columbine and more while I am happy to see the bright blue of the forget-me-nots and the lovely shape of the bleeding hearts.

If you love the garden, make a point to schedule a trip to see some of the gardens of Atchison. THe Wild Iris Garden Club (so named because of the wild women that founded it - yours truly being one of them) is hosting the 2nd Annual Garden Tours Friday June 13 from 1pm - 7pm and Saturday June 14 from 10am - 4pm.
