Working in the Garden

Willie gets some butt scratches from his favorite girl.  He always accompanies me in the garden and he loves it when My Daughter stops by.

He also loves to lay in the shade by the espaliered apple trees.  

 

I planted about 75 more dianthus on this hillside. By next spring it should be covered in blooms.

I hung a copper rain chain from the potting shed.  It has little umbrellas on it which I think are so cute.

These mushrooms have been popping up everywhere, I wish I knew which kind they are.

Things are starting to fill in.  You can hardly see the gazebo up on the hill.

My Mayflowers are blooming.

Each plant has just one flower but they are so pretty.

And look at this!  I came across an old photo of my mother and she had a chow chow.  I never knew this before.  Isn't it amazing that we both had/have chows.  They aren't exacting a common bread, then or now.
