Storms are taking a toll on, well– everything!
I cut an armful of Peonies to at least enjoy the fragrant blossoms a few days in the house.
New And Improved
The new and improved garden pond!
Shallow edges making the pond more visible from around the garden.
Tumbled rock to line the pond, with field stones and limestone used in the waterfall and edges.
New areas of the garden have opened up to more work and opportunities.
I’m planting in with lots of starter perennials and sneaking plants from one area of the garden to another.
A friend offered some of her ferns and I can’t wait to go get them for the newest shade area of the garden.
A frog has moved in all ready and is happily croaking, but I have yet to spy him.
Working on a little surprise for the pond.
Any guesses?
Heavy On The Daisies, Please!
Yes, my garden must have daisies.
This childhood favorite flower, gently swaying in my garden…makes me very happy.
Here And There
The flowers are showing off in some areas of the garden.
This splash of white Clematis I have grown to really anticipate each year.
An unknown variety, it is usually the kick off for blossoms around Rabbit Run Cottage.
The Flags Are Out
Pretty Iris making their appearance this week.
The pot was marked as purple when I purchased these 3 years ago.
Much to my surprise yellow Iris appeared instead.
It’s a good color.
Grazing
A happy horse and a plump mini donkey.
Life is good.
The State Of Things
With busy days in the garden, I have been forgetting to pick up my camera!
Some chores have been checked off the list, with many more still to go.
Scraping the greenhouse paint and then giving it a fresh coat of color is still a big one to get done.
To bad Rosie can’t help!
Too New
His before look.
My new concrete rabbit will have to undergo some aging this Summer.
A little mossy smoothie should do the trick.
Welcome to your new home here at Rabbit Run Cottage.
Rabbit Run Cottage
My garden office.
Rabbit Run Cottage is a perfect spot to start the morning or rest after a long day in the garden.
A constant evolution of “treasures” can be found in the little garden shed.
Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s very neat and tidy.
Lucy has discovered the WiFi signal is good out here, and watches her favorite shows on her laptop.
Garden kitties love to nap in the loft when the afternoon Sun is too warm.
What little treasures can you spy inside?
Columbine
Started from seed in the little greenhouse two years ago, the Columbine is blooming this morning.
On a dark rainy day, so nice to find these little blossoms. Tucked in next to the North sides of the greenhouse and Rabbit Run Cottage, they are among the first blossoms making an appearance in the garden.
