My Spring Yard Garden Tour

Since the tulips are ending as the apple blossoms are coming out, I decided to take a tour of my yard to show you the spring flowers and gardens before they are all gone.

So, let's start the tour, shall we?

First, I will go out our front door so you can see the walkway full of tulips:

This is the view of our front yard from the street (the opposite of the first shot):

This is a small arc-shaped garden that I have in the front yard, facing the street:

After the tulips are done, there are columbines, Iris and Hollyhocks coming up.

Here is a closeup of the tulips that are in that garden now:

This is a photo taken off my front porch, looking to the left of our lot. We have planted some Lillies around the apple trees. The entire front yard is full of apple trees on that side. You can see the blossoms starting on the apple trees in this photo:






Looking on the right side of the front porch, we have a yard full of Forget-Me-Nots right now. Every spring we don't cut the grass there until they are done blooming and have gone to seed:

This is taken from the street looking at the front of our house, where I have the arc-shaped garden:

This one is still our front yard looking toward the walkway:

Another shot of the Frog and the Forget-Me-Nots and tulips in the front yard:

Looking out at our back yard, where the dock and lake are:

Our back yard rock garden full of creeping phlox:

To the left of our driveway, on the side of our house: we have another arc-shaped garden. I have room to put some more annuals, if the danger of frost here ever happens. Hopefully in the next week or so, I can add them then!:

At the end of the tour, when coming up on our deck, I saw a visitor. So, of course, I HAD to capture him on film, too!:

Hopefully, as the next crop of flowers bloom, I can get some more photos, and post them on the blog, too.

I guess I can officially state that Spring finally hit here. I know the rest of you are into your summer, but here, we are just feeling like it is Spring. The good news, is that after weeks of weather barely making the mid-forties, we are supposed to be in the mid-sixties today and tomorrow: we are supposed to get in the 70's.

I have ONE WORD for that: itisaboutfrickintimebecauseIamsodamnsickofthiscold.
