So... I'll just get back into the swing of things with some pictures from our garden. Our home had previously been occupied by single women for the last few decades, and it's quite apparent they all had a green thumb. We've watched impatiently as flowers started sprouting up this spring... and they have not stopped!
We both run outside each morning with excitement to see what else has popped up! This garden is new to us, and we have refrained from removing much of anything, as we have no idea what had been planted there. So, it really is a Garden of Surprises. And every morning I am greeted with another beautiful bloom. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I have enjoyed taking them!

Hosta Circle.
Our Tulip garden, on the far side of our yard (bordering the neighbors walkway)
ENORMOUS daffodils!
Sprucing up the front yard a bit.
Our planter out front, after it had filled in a bit more.

Every variety of Hosta imaginable in our back yard!

I can't remember the name of this flower, but we had DOZENS of them.
Some ENORMOUSLY overgrown bush, that one day turned bright magenta!
