Still a favorite with many are the lovely Dogwoods, the charming understory trees that are coming into their glory right now.
Also blooming abundantly are the heralds of a May 4th election. Most disappearing in just a few days after voting has finished.
Saturday we had a clean up day at church. There were busy folks inside and out. Here is the results of serious pruning and weeding in the Meditation Garden. I was one of the farmhands here. The burn pile in the back ground took care of the Privet that wants to devour the garden. Annuals will fill in around the new perennials yet to be bought.
It fills in nicely over the growing season. I forgot to take my camera yesterday to record all the busy folks doing their part. So today before church I quickly took pictures of the results so far. The garden is an on going project.
Heading home there were more wonderful signs of Tennesseans making their home sites pretty as pictures.
More and more people are choosing to landscape with Pink Dogwood. They are so pretty.
I'm quite fond of pink myself and here is how we choose to welcome guest with our traditional Bleeding Hearts.
I know the plants will die back when the flowers finish, but that's o.k. with me. They are so stunning while they bloom.
Here in our backyard the Dogwood are still small and cream colored. As they mature and grow a little more they will be snowy white before they set their crimson berries.
Taking it all for granted is KiKi.
Have you already strolled with Aislings strolling friends? If not head on over to her place and see who else is strolling.
