It seems like every time we turn around, there is something new to discover in the yard. The people who owned this house before us took landscaping very seriously, and it seems that almost everything is perennial. We have roses and irises and lilies and some kind of fruit trees (I'm hoping they aren't crab apple) and five dogwoods and peonies and two forsythia and two lilac and these things:
and all sorts of other things that we might not know about yet. It's almost like we need to wait a whole cycle of seasons before we dig anything up, because who knows what might be there. It seems like they timed it so that something is always in bloom. Right now, the roses and the petunias are fading, but the lilies are just blooming.
We came home to a beautiful surprise after the wedding. The flowers are faded and gone now, but up until a couple days ago, this is what our front porch looked like:

excellent. what are the blooms on the fruit trees and how big are they?
those are "bleeding hearts" one of my favorite flowers.
the ones on the porch are called clematis, i think. they are very pretty and easy to maintain.
to the below blog. i spent 70 on food today. i miss the 'basket.
So we found out that one tree is a golden delicious, and one is a red delicious. Excellent.
We miss market basket, too. We talk about it all the time. So the floor was pretty much saw dust...so what, at least we could afford real food.
Beautiful gardens!! Did the tulips from Amsterdam ever come up? and lucky you if those are crabapples--crabapple jelly is wonderful!!
