Hot and sunny ... love it!!

You will not hear me complain about the heat we are having at the end of May. I absolutely love the fact that I could go outside this morning in shorts and a sleeveless top. I was also wearing a very old pair of red "holey sole" slip on shoes (like butt-ugly crocks) which are apparently very scary because Scooter kept running away from me when I was trying to take pictures. I used my little Samsung tablet to take these pictures but realize that the quality is definitely lacking. Even our little cheap point and shoot Canon camera is better than this, but here you go...

This is the bed I totally cleaned out of shrubs and perennials last weekend. I'm planning on putting hydrangeas  and hostas in.

Sweet smelling viburnum bush  

The rhubarb is doing well. Time soon for a strawberry rhubarb crisp!

This is my shameful vegetable garden that is not yet completely weeded and rototilled. The strawberries are trying to take over the world and of course I let them without leaving a space here and there to walk, picking strawberries is going to involve some pretty amazing yoga poses or gymnastics.

I have window boxes and urns to plant in front of the shed. I haven't decided on a colour theme yet.

Stay still so I can take your picture, Sammy!

I cut this purple lilac way back last year and now I have some blooms. They smell like heaven.

White lilacs that were on the property when we bought it

There are many planting and weeding projects to keep me busy this weekend. I can't wait to finish that front bed and all of my pots and planters!
