The hellebores have been blooming for a while but they're tucked away and often go unnoticed. Note to self: find a better spot for them.
The bulbs are doing their thing, happily without my help.
And the camellias are becoming quite showy
oh look, a pollinator!
Happy to see the sedum Autumn Joy poking up,
and the huckleberry will produce a crop for the birds again this year!
I have to say that I'm most excited to see all of the peonies have survived neglect and will be spectacular again this Spring!
(one of 6 peony plants, all of which I can't live without!)
I promised my yard that tomorrow, if it's not too hot and not too cold, and if it's not raining, and just as soon as I get the stones set in this pair of earrings I'm working on, and of course put off doing the taxes for another couple of days, I'll come out and pull weeds, trim branches, clear out the dead stuff and prepare the vegetable bed. I really, really will.
