*Green Khakis via Bliss
*Green Bangles

What's your favorite color these days?

Wednesdays In the Garden - May

When I bought these white anemones a couple of years ago I didn't know anything about them. But, they have been a pleasant surprise. My original plant is thriving, and had grown greatly. If you have limited garden space, you might have to watch them so they don't spread out too much. Anemone are one of the first flowers of the spring, (at least here in zone 5) and have been blooming for at least a month. Even with the rain and wind, they've held up very well, (unlike my peonies and poppies). And, they make excellent cut flowers. What's blooming in your garden today?

And so the season of road trips to destinations north begins...

Wednesdays In The Garden - May

Garden inspiration for this summer: layers of big, leafy green, with pops of red.

We believe in red boots, staying up past our bedtime, playing in the rain and chasing rainbows.

Wednesdays In the Garden - May

It is that time of year again, when I happily spend my Wednesdays  working in, planning and photographing my garden and others I stumble across.

This week our Ranunculus are the stars of the garden. I have them in pots by the front door, but also cut blooms regularly to place beside my bed. Ranunculus bloom best in cool weather, which we have had lots of this year. So, they have stayed alive much longer than expected. Lucky me!

When I was a teenager, we moved here, to the middle of these woods. The last few times I have been back it has been snowy. But, spring is my much preferred time to visit. The air is scented with wild leeks (which I am kicking myself for not bringing some back to cook with.) And, the Trilliums are blooming. We spent the day Saturday eating and playing with friends and family. Enough time away to cure my wanderlust for the week.
What did you do this weekend? xoxo - A.
