3112. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 3:58:38 PM The missing #3110 is Mago's. She probably hit the wrong button. 3113. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:41:19 PM Finally, after far too long, we in the northeast are getting may weather. We've had the 3rd coldest may on record this year. So this a.m. I went out to weed the rock garden and thought I'd share some of the stuff in bloom.
Here's a shot of my rooadside rock garden...the ajuga (lavender spears) doing nicely this year. Hubby staked the scotch broom as it was falling over. Looks happier that way.
3114. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:43:04 PM Closer shot of the scotch broom. It has a strange yet interesting scent...and it kind of reminds me of scrambled eggs for some reason.
3115. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:44:09 PM Lily of the valley is still blooming. Just one example of how late the season is this year in our area.
3116. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:46:16 PM Not sure what this is called...i think some call it 'snow on the mountain' though my dad used to grow a 'snow on the mountain' that was quite different with variegated leaves. This one has silvery fuzzy stems and petals of a similar feel to dusty miller. The yellow in the background is the green & gold euonymous.
3117. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:47:30 PM Irises are just starting to pop now.
3118. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:49:25 PM In front of our house, the azaleas are in full bloom

3119. judithathome - 5/28/2005 8:11:25 PM My hypericam coris bushes are in full and hardy bloom...looks like a blanket of yellow flowers. Sadly, I don't have a digital camera. The bushes are 50 years old and Keoni cuts them back every year, giving me heart failure for fear they will die off. But they come back, healthier than ever. 3120. judithathome - 5/28/2005 8:12:00 PM Great pictures, Pelle and Thoughtful! 3121. Marc-Albert - 5/29/2005 12:38:58 AM It is probably dying, but slowly.
Aren't we all. I'm sure your gigantic hoya has had a happy, sheltered life, Pelle.

Lady buggs, Patsy 3123. thoughtful - 5/29/2005 12:57:54 PM Thanks Patsy...always nice to hear from you! 3124. thoughtful - 5/29/2005 4:15:48 PM Made rachel ray's veal marasala for dinner last night...man did it come out delish!!!
3125. Magoseph - 5/29/2005 4:33:20 PM I just read the recipe-seems easy to make, even for me. 3126. thoughtful - 5/29/2005 5:19:22 PM I love rachel ray because her food is quick, easy and very tasty, and reasonably healthy. I started cooking by around 6:15 last night and had dinner on the table before 7...and that was with a recipe i never tried and post-vino! 3127. ronski - 6/6/2005 5:12:44 AM Happy hanging basket, with petunias, on our deck:
3128. arkymalarky - 6/7/2005 10:05:20 PM On our front porch:
Bob wanted it down, but the birds had already nested before he could stop it, and he didn't have the heart to disrupt them. 3129. arkymalarky - 6/7/2005 10:22:06 PM An interesting encounter in the yard yesterday:
3130. Macnas - 6/8/2005 4:39:25 PM I was at a steam rally at the weekend. I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow. 3131. alistairconnor - 6/8/2005 4:44:31 PM What variety of snake is that, Arky? Anything derogatory?
There's been a beautiful big viper seen down by our stream. I haven't seen one for years.
