Around Here This Week

So around here this week....

We've been working outside some. Marc's family is sharing our garden space this year and they have been over to help with planting. I think we've got everything but the green beans in the ground. Marc also wanted to see if he could take some cuttings from my lilac hedge to see if he could propagate them in his own yard. Hopefully that will work. He crawled between the hedge and the fence to do his clipping...

....and then had to get himself out again.

The cables on the fence don't move so he had to wiggle himself through them as they were.

That particular corner is right by the wood pile and Jude found that stumps make pretty good chairs for spectators.

Admittedly, the hedge is going great guns and the smell permeates the air for a good 10 days or so. They are a little early this year, since we haven't had our traditional #savethepeaches frost during April/May.

I'm seeing the tulips I planted return.

The colors in the yard during spring make my heart happy.

We've also noticed this. This is a new peony we planted last year. One of my sisters-in-law took starts from my husband's grandmother's bushes in her yard many years ago. She divided them last year and gave us some starts, and I think a couple of them are going to survive. It's such a nice reminder of Grandma Gwen.

Sent to me from the kids and grandkids this week, my daughter-in-law, Elisa sent a few from her canyon rim wander with Ephraim. 

She got a beautiful morning view of Shoshone Falls. That's Show-shown, not to be confused with Show-shownee. You can tell who's local and who's not by the way they pronounce it.

And from my daughter....this is Leo. Is this not just the cutest??
