Busy day today (my two favorite destinations – the library and garden center, followed by marathon weeding and planting. Followed by the next Sue Grafton mystery. I am just discovering her mystery series. Ah, the pleasures of a good book!) but thought I’d share these photos from the garden today. The song “Pretty In Pink” popped into my head when I wandered out this morning with the camera. Everything blooming now is pink, from the azaleas just starting to blossom to the huge mounds of phlox everywhere. Even the wildflowers that seeded the flower garden paths are pink! (and excuse the weeds along the path in the picture, they are growing faster than I can pull them, and I have so many volunteers self seeded everywhere I’m just waiting to see what’s what before I pull stuff up.) And to accent everything – purple. Purple violets, purple pansies, purple silver leaf lamium and purple ajuga growing under – what else? – my purple wisteria.
Happy Saturday, Happy Gardening!
Good luck to Janet Oberholtzer today. She is a friend of a friend, a fellow writer and blogger, and running a marathon today – see her blog post “Hope Wins” here and you’ll know why I am rooting for her.
