Yikes Montana! That makes your good day in court sort of bittersweet, eh?
Well, you could say that I would have been far more disapointed if I wasn't so happy ;-) Things went so well in court that not even that could bring me down for long :-D
Early spring (epimedium and trillium):
later spring (virginia bluebells):
Current (stewartia):
Those are beautiful Littlek!
Thanks. Unfortunately, I can't pull back and shoot a wider shot of my garden and have it look as good. City dirt, city air, shade, etc make keeping a garden a little tough around here. Neko's photos always look so lush and full of life, not so in my yard.
I truly understand how hard it really is to garden in the city. My mother does the flowers here and the veggies are my thing. Her flowers are so beautiful that I don't know why I never took pictures. It's suppose to rain tomorrow and Sat, but Sun and Mon will be nice, so I'll try to take some pics and come back and post them.
I just told mom that I was going to take pictures of her beautiful flowers and post them here and she's all flattered, lol :-D

Dys and Diane will be arriving in ABQ tomorrow morning (Friday) after vacating their Denver apartment. I went through the inspection walk-through with their realtor this morning. My contractor, Henry, is working in the house to lay tile floors throughout the house, 4 skylights, and repaint the interior.
This afternoon, Maddy and I helped Henry strip wallpaper off the master bedroom walls so they can be painted. The paint, tile, skylights and roof vents are in the garage waiting to be installed. The roof will be replaced next Monday.
It was 95 degrees today, too hot for this kind of work but the AC in the house helped. I pity the guys having to go up in the attic or on the roof in this heat.
Appliances will be delivered Saturday. The rest of their furniture will be delivered next Tuesday. Then they will be able to retrieve all the boxes of stuff they brought down in their pickup truck and stored in my garage.
They are happy, but very tired new homeowners.

Wow, BBB, it's all happned so fast!
Lovely shots from your garden, littlek.
Very nice pictures, littlek. I love flowers and have taken many pics of my garden too.
Colorbook - share them with us?
The thalictrum - it's almost as tall as I am, I had to hold the camera over my head to take this angle. The flowers are lavender with fuzzy yellow centers.
Nice photos, littlek.
My garden goes through spurts of looking good. My hydrangeas are gorgeous right now... full of blooms. I've got several kinds, bright blue puff-balls, bright pink puff-balls, purple flat heads and pink flat heads, also a climbing white flat-head which isn't blooming so well. (Hmmm) I've gone for a red and purple theme this year with red geraniums, dark purple single petunias, lavender double petunias, backed up with lavender lavatera and cannas (only the leaves... not enough sun!). Am also enjoying the purple and red fuchsia "Dark Eyes" and some dark red carnations and snapdragons, the kind that have burgundy-colored leaves.
These are all recent pics
