Gorgeous weather today brought out lots of blooms, so I'd like to invite you all to join me on a stroll. Lets say you've just gotten out of your car, at the top of the driveway. You're approaching the house and are greeted by the entrance beds, that I call "Jan's Garden", a memorial to a dear friend.
Walk slowly, and look down, there are a lot of little treasures along the way...
The original part of this house was a 2 room log cabin, and it has been built onto several times, and strange, but charming quirks emerged as a result. One of which is that there are 2 side walks leading to the entrance. Quirky certainly works for me, so I went with it, and used the walkways for lots of little plants to appreciate closely. First we see Crocus foliage maturing, Lamium, Erlicheer daffodils, Virginia bluebells, Siberian Irises, and Lathyrus vernus.
