We took Teddy out to the country this morning to see the Big Puppies. She loves these guys!
Some of them were far away.
But some were very close.
Teddy's nose was pressed against the window.
I know this is blurry but you can still see the reaction the horse made when it heard the strange noise coming from the car.
These guys did not like Teddy too much.
Lots of Teddy's friends live here but they were not out on this pretty Spring day.
When we returned home I started planting.
I needed to fill in some spots on the stairs where the phlox grows. Notice all the dandelions?
Though the phlox grows well on most of these stairs, I have never been able to get it to grow in the corners because of the lack of sun. So, today I planted mazus there and I am betting it does very well.
This is a part of my lawn where I planted mazus years ago. It chokes out everything including the weeds. It has a pretty flower and when it is green, it provides a nice cushion. Teddy loves to lay on it. And notice, no dandelions here!

Too chilly even for dandelions here yet but they will soon they'll cover all our lawns and the field outside the cottage :-)
Have a great day!

That was quite the trip for Teddy!
Your stairs are lovely with the phlox elegantly draped on them. But, in your next to last photo, I see what looks to be an elongated thin vine that dangles clear down to your steps and wonder what it is. It is such a nice, addition, that you would not expect to find, where it chose to grow. Gracie
Teddy wouldn't like it where we live.
I am so glad you like the arbor. Those roses grow so fast.
Pink with the red! Well heck! Why didn't I think of that! I feel another project coming on!
Your stairs are beautiful - is this a result years of planning and planting?
It sounds like Teddy quite enjoyed his outing.:-)
Fun trip to the country, for Teddy.
LOVE seeing those pastured cows!!!
Your phlox is sooooo beautiful, on the steps. Just lovely. So old fashioned and looking like it's all been there, for a century or so. :-) Which is exactly how you want your gardens/lawn to look!!!!!
