'Round Here

the Oakleaf Hydrangea is blooming

the soft orange Lilies grace the front stoop

the Annabelle Hydrangeas 

are unabashedly showing off

the Clover is providing nutrients for the hens,

a sweet snack for my daughter

and a playground for the bees - 

watch your step!

the first round of Roses have come and gone.

these red blooms were beautiful even in

their dried, crunchy stage -

don't you think?
