A few views from around the garden:
The crown vetch, which disappeared for several years after we lost a limb on our maple tree that provided shade, is back for the third year, and there’s more than ever! I’m glad.
The first day lily opened up yesterday. My trusty Stella Doro.
A ladybug nestled in a thistle.
Beardtongue, a wildflower that pops up near the funky patio.
Yarrow.
It’s pretty gorgeous out there – lots of spring wildflowers are popping up like magic. I love seeing them. They’re so strong and often pop up between the pavers or in the gravel.
I mowed the corral and the back forty yesterday. In a few days, we’ll have another round with the front lawn. And so it goes at this time of year.
I used some paste wax on the bedroom floor in the dollhouse. It looks lovely now. But whenever I use it, I have to close off the room and air it out. It’s got a strong smell. I’m considering using it on the stairways at some point in order to give them a richer look.
I think I’ll start painting the walls in the hallways so they’re prepped for wallpapering. I’m also getting ready to wallpaper the kitchen. Wish me luck!
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
I love the resilience of plants: your greenery and wildflowers.
If you left off “in the dollhouse” from that sentence, your last two paragraphs could refer to a human-sized house instead of a miniature! Have fun doing those tasks; afterall, even with frustrations, that’s what it’s all about.
That’s exactly what it’s all about!
Thanks so much, Wendy.
Stay safe.
