May Flowers

It's been looking and feeling like summer. And I love it! We had an absolutely beautiful Memorial Day long weekend, and I soaked up as much sun and outdoors as I could. 

My "garden" is finally blooming and the poppies are stunning. I was thrilled to see the first one, with a burst of red-orange, and more on the way.

I use the word "garden" loosely, because each year I try to add one or two perennials to the flower bed in our back yard. Not everything has "taken", and it's disappointing when plants don't return the following year.

But the ones that do, make me happy. There's just something so beautiful about flowers in bloom, green grass, full trees and sunshine. More please.
