our yard and garden-to-be

our house-warming gifts from Aunt Sam and the first official harvest from our garden plot-to-be ...



so many roses...peach, pink, white and...

...the stars of the show as far as I am concerned -- these dusty lavender colored roses (the picture does not quite do them justice)...

three other flowers I love in our yard...


(ahh, so many shades of purple! These climbing vines with delicate little purple flowers sort of remind me of my mama's beloved periwinkle although I know they are something different -- just not sure what exactly. They are popping up all over the yard and I love them.)

These tall, erect plants with their luxurious red blossoms are so much more dramatic and beautiful in person and they have opened up even more since I took this photo. Again, I have got to find out exactly what these are.
