Spring is HERE!!!!

It is definitely spring time....we've had very windy days, some rain, lots of sun, and even some 90 degree days!!! I have found some time after school or on the weekends to work in my gardens. I have basically been cleaning out the leaves and putting down new mulch. Many of the perennials are up and growing quickly. I've even had a few flowers on my Phlox. My Rhododendron also bloomed in early May and was beautiful. The lilacs are in full bloom now and smell so good. I wish they would last all spring and into summer.

This weekend is officially the kick off to summer! Erik and I are going to spend it with Mom in Hayward. We are so excited. I hope everyone else had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Here are some pictures of the gardens:
