leder legends

 The stella d'oro are blooming all over town and they are a sure sign that others will not be far behind. The lilies are all different sizes and I placed a quarter in each picture to try and show the differences but I am not so pleased with the result. I'll have to find another way to show this.

You must try these!! Simple, quick and delicious! My SIL introduced us to this in Phoenix last month.  So good! While  I was shopping yesterday,  I was able to get all the ingredients.  I would never have thought Brie topped with some fig jam, prosciutto, arugula and apple would combine into such a delicious bite!

  It rained! A fast moving storm came through the area and dropped some!  According to my rain gauge... 1.25 inches! I opened the windows to listen! The garden is happy and so am I. Stellas     Lettuce seeds just germinated.

This year is the same as many others in that the need to get out the sprinklers came early.  I am not looking forward to seeing the water bill lol! It has been hot- record breaking temperatures- this spring.  As I look out over the yard, coffee cup in hand, I see the  “ fruits” of my labor.        The peonies are spectacular! Tall plants with lots of buds standing tall... until the much needed rain came and they bowed down... next year they will all be caged. I transferred four of my mini Hostas to a pot because they were too hidden to be enjoyed. They seem to like their new home!   I planted seeds that I had saved from last year. 10 tomato plants need a spot in the yard. Would they look funny in the front yard behind the fence? I am not sure but if I can tolerate a rather ugly fence there, I don’t think it matters. It is a nice sunny spot.   This winter was odd, even though it was long it did not snow that much.  ALL the snapdragon...
