I'll see how this years plant selections work out in the containers. This seems like an easy way to journal the progress. I'll add photos through the season.

Taken May 5, 2012. Plants abnormally large/blooming after a very mild winter and warm spring. I've done some pruning and pulling in areas that are looking like a jungle. Still looks like a jungle, sigh.
Crazy how plants are growing this year!
Honeysuckle vine (added photo ospinx moth on 5/13/2012):
Thought I lost all my iris's (only had a few) last year to root rot but this came up this year. Un-named Iris:
Anemone, Snowdrop (taken about a week ago):
Wild Columbine (planted last year).
Chives.
Garden Shot.
Garden under tree.
From a Iris reticulata and danfordine mix:
These are always the first to come up...a small bunch of them under a dryer vent. As always it does my heart good to see them come...spring is on the way!!!

A few years ago my husband and I woke up an owl while putting Christmas lights on the evergreen tree in the back yard. He flew to a nearby tree and waited until we were done decorating. I was really excited about having this lovely creature. On occasion I would look for him and on occasion he would be there tucked in some branches. Then a big snow storm came and the deep snow around the tree kept me from spying on him :( I did not see him again until April. That summer he seemed to have left the premises. I continued on occasion wistfully looking for him in the tree with no sighting. But, yesterday I spotted him once again in the tree! He was warming himself in the afternoon sun. I am so happy to have him back...well assuming it is the same owl :)
