My Achy-Breaky Body

WELL GUESS WHAT folks. We here in the Pacific Northwest were blessed with a weekend of delicious sunshine and warm temperatures! Finally, I was able tackle the garden cleanup from last winter. Yes. I'm way behind but I made great strides and tonight my body is paying for it. Here are a few of my sightings. 

'Georgia Peach' Heuchera is coming out of hibernation.

The dandelions are making good headway. 

Daphne 'Summer Ice' is fragrancing the air. 

This pretty pink lilac is just starting to add to the allure. 

Lonicera tatarica 'Arnold's Promise' is aglow. 

The Crab Apples are just stunning right now. 

Weeds or wildflowers? I say weedy-wildflowers. 

I can't remember the name of this Jacob's Ladder. 

Silene (PINK)

Scabiosa 'Beaujolais Bonnets' bit the dust. And it was a MILD winter. Grrrr.

Phlox 

Sorry. It's a bit blurry... This is Spiraea something or other, almost in bloom. 

One of my tasks this weekend was to yank ivy from one of my fences.
I saw this on a drive-by recently.
My sentiments exactly!
STOP GROWING!
Hope you all are enjoying your springy gardens.
