Exploding Flowers
My garden has exploded with flowers. Considering how much I neglected it this winter, I didn't really expect much for the spring. I've been wandering around my garden in a dazed sense of contentment with the warm sunshine and long days calming me. I've loved cold Ireland, but it is so nice to just walk outside in shorts, T shirt and barefeet and bask in the warmth. I'm lucky to live where I do and have this garden just outside my door. Sometimes life doesn't entirely suck.
The red roses below are suckers that I didn't get around to removing from a white rose bush. It's not often that laziness is rewarded so richly.
The picture below was taken on my fiftieth birthday. It was a good day. I'm proud of my age.

Your yard is quite beautiful! Isn't it funny how flowers seem to do their best when we leave them alone?
The same thing can be said for pimples. :)
The garden is gorgeous and you are looking good :-)

You look a million bucks!
you and your garden look fab, I can't wait for our garden to explode... however, my giant poppy has but they don't last long :o(
I can't decide which looks better, you or your garden. :)
Thanks, Karen, Michelle, Madwag and Gary. You do realize that I posted a good picture? I don't really look like that. My garden, on the other hand, really does look like that.
Yeah, in real life she's a short brunette with cats. ;)
Dave! Don't tell everyone my secret. ;)

The garden looks great. I guess it's the product of all the years of work before you had the blog! I still owe you a cake so let me know when is good for you!
