Black-Eyed Susans Make a Grand Entrance!

I am a little bummed it's already August, but my flowers continue to bloom and will through probably the end of September! Lots of time yet! This weekend, my black-eyed susans bloomed! Love it!

Rediscovering Beauty in the Front Yard

One of the fringe benefits of cleaning up a flower garden is rediscovering the beautiful flowers you actually have. We inherited the landscaping in the front of our home last year when we moved in, and the flowers are set such that something is always blooming! It's the best way to do it. Different flowers bloom at different times of year, no matter where you're at, and I've really enjoyed learning about the ways of the non-edible gardening world.

Yesterday I did a long overdue cleanup, trimming bushes and getting rid of flowers that bloomed weeks ago that have since dried up.

I don't pay that area of my front yard a lot of attention during the week, so I was pleased to see some beautiful flowers currently blooming! Here's a taste.

Spring Has Sprung!

One of the best things about buying a house that had landscaping already finished, at least in part of the yard, is that every couple of weeks in the summer, new flowers pop up. I love it! Here's a glimpse of the colors gracing my yard.
