May Bloom Day

Tree Peony-about four years old, second time blooming with one flower

Not exactly blooms but love these birds that congregated at the feeders one afternoon last week-they do add color to the garden

Not a bloom either but my mother's day gift from my son-an  airplant  in a sphere

I am disappointed to say I'm still holding(see previous post) but this is where I am. Despite my lack of care things still continue to grow and bloom. It has been so nice outside too that it's killing me not to be out in the gardens where there's so much to be done. No word back from the Dr. on test last week so I continue to wait. My mom has bought me some annuals and a couple of hanging baskets. now I need to be strong enough to get out and plant them. I hope everyone is enjoying their May gardens!
