Perennials

I'd love to take credit for all our lovely perennials, but I can't. It wouldn't be right. Instead, I'll take credit for walking around the gardens, looking busy by carrying a hoe or towing a wagon and wearing my weeding gloves. I even try to get my kid in on the game and let her follow me around with her pink, princess weeding gloves. At least she does use them.

Truth be told, our home's previous owners were clearly perennial lovers. They spent hours in these gardens and tended them well. I still break out in hives when I begin to think that I'm solely responsible for all these plants. I can grow a green, house plant like nobody's business, but this yard/landscape/grass/flower business is new. to. me.

Here's this years crop, thus far.
