Magical May

I love May. It’s when my yard is greenest, the hills around Boise are green, lilacs and rhododendrons, my favorite flowers, are blooming and the weather is warm and wonderful-usually. This Spring has been on the colder, windier, rainier side, but it’s helping to fill the reservoirs so I can’t complain too much.

My lilacs finally bloomed this year!
The best thing in the world is the smell of cut lilacs in my house and in my yard!
We get these little visitors every year in May

More successes this year….

First time Rhodies have bloomed the year after I planted them! Finally found the right place in the yard.

Another one I’m super excited about is my Clematis.

Libby has taken an interest in flowers as well. She asked to go to the nursery with Rock’s mom and I and she bought a whole bunch of flowers to plant in her own garden box. Her friends even helped her plant them.

The last ones I am hoping will bloom this year are my hydrangeas. I’ve failed several times with them as well. This little bud gives me hope!!

Check back in mid July to see if these beauties actually bloom!
