thought I'd share a quick visual tour around the farmhouse right now...

peonies...aaaaaaaahhhhh...so beautiful and so fragrant

a $2 auction find adds a unique touch to a garden spot - hubby finds her a bit creepy but I think it adds some whimsy

fluffy clouds and fields of yellow dandies

one of my favorite perennial hardy geraniums is coming into bloom

front porch refresh

newly planted vertical garden - an old partitioned box planted with succulents and portulaca - will share more pictures later in the season when its matured and filled in a bit

found some massive snapdragons at a local nursery - the biggest I have ever seen

my favorite delights are the simplest...the newest junk additions - an old, chippy metal table and wonderful, aged tins planted with small specimens

a new climbing rose we are trying this year...so far so good...I am in love with this color!
