May in Bloom


It's May already!  


Our beautiful Privet bushes are blooming their fragrant white flowers, it smells so wonderful!
The sweet fragrance fills the air!  This is a hardy perennial.  I love how it provides such beauty year after year.

[Some say “it’s an invasive plant and don’t like it” but, I love it for many reasons.  It’s evergreen, a privacy hedge, the birds love its berries, and I love the abundant pretty white flowers and sweet smell when it blooms!]

I look forward to these blooms every Spring!




Another thing I love about perennials is...I haven’t done a thing to this planting area yet this year, and Spring has it looking beautiful!  The Salvia, Hosta, and Liriope fill this area and are such easy plants!

This happy boy loves being outside, and chasing wildlife i.e. bunnies, birds, bugs, and lizards! Hence the big smile on his face ...and the decorative iron fence to keep him off my pretty plants!  Winning!*wink*

I usually tuck in some annuals in the currently empty pots, I like that I can change those plants with the seasons.

It's nice to enjoy beautiful mornings and afternoons out here!  And, it’s nice to slow down, unplug and just enjoy!


Wishing everyone a Happy May!...
