Happy Monday! Yesterday I transplanted 12 dwarf cedars, 16 stella doro day lilies, 12 dwarf astillbe and countless ajuga all donated with love by my mother. As I dug in the dirt, my daughter Christina was busy snapping pictures, so here are a few to share with you on this rainy Monday! Enjoy!

Yesterday the sun finally came out and we made a trip around the garden. Some of the flowers had been damaged by the rain, but many more were just coming into bloom. It's a joyous time of year!

Looks like we have a beautiful weekend in store for us! Great time to get out in the garden. Will be transplanting some miniature blue cedars that my momma is giving me. She pulled them out to replace them with boxwoods and as with everything in the garden, we recycle...

Before it's too late, wanted to share photos of this year's Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. It fits in because, its our nations garden! Enjoy!

Hi! I do promise that MOST of the pictures on this blog will be from Grandma Jane's Garden, but this morning I was dropping my daughter off at school and the flowering trees were amazing! Two types of cherry and a lovely crab apple. The morning light was spectacular! Enjoy!
