Spring Cleaning

On Saturday, we spent the entire day on the farm. I was able to spend a great deal of time cleaning out my flower garden. What a beautiful transformation. This has been such a warm spring so far, everything is growing wonderfully. Weeds? Oh, the weeds are staying ahead of the game too. It is a game! Maybe I should say challenge. Every year I stride forward to stay ahead of the weeds. When fall is around the corner I rather loose the battle. I am sure this year will not be any different, but until then, I am going to keep on picking those weeds. The flower garden is into its 3rd year. Last year it was very beautiful and I know this year it is going to be outstanding. I added Amsonia and Ornamental Oregano in the fall. I am looking forward to taking many pictures.
On the farm there is an old Lilac bush. I have been trimming away a little each year to rejuvenate it. I see new grow on it already. I hope this year we get a few more blooms. It would feel good to know I helped it bounce back to life.
