the dandelions and the roses...

both beautiful.

 

Leon does the flowers to bring in the house. He picked the roses yesterday and then found the dandelions this morning. he brought them to show me and I told him to add them to the roses.

weeds can be pretty, too.

 

I am weeding, put in 4 hours this morning which is a lot for me. I'm trying to get to my roses. there are weeds there that are taller than I am. and I found that the gophers had gotten all my walking iris which were so pretty last year. I found a few roots with new babies trying to start. so in the morning before I start weeding and pulling brambles I'll round up some big pots and try to start some new plants. the gophers do not help me.

I'm hoping I can get some of the walking iris to grow again.

 

a gardener's work is never done.
