WITH THE GARDEN LOOKING more than a little "blah" right now, I thought I'd share some photos from my archives--photos of happier times, when the weather was hospitable and pleasant. Maybe these will jar your memory to that time, many months ago. I especially dedicate this post to all of you who remain strangled by winter's icy grip.
These photos are all from my "Drive-By (Photo) Shooting" file. They were taken around town during previous summers.

| Recently, I bought a large seed packet of Red Flax because of what I saw in this front garden last summer. |
 |
| This flower is Viscaria. Very similar to Red Flax. |
 |
| Dogwood |
 |
| Voluptuous Hydrangea |
 |
| Roadside Chicory Blossom of purest blue |
 |
| Armeria drinking up the sunshine |
 |
| Double File Viburnum |
 |
| Echinaceas in the hell strip |
 |
| A genius juxtaposition: Japanese Blood Grass and blooming Sedum |
 |
| A front bed of Japanese Anemone blossoms |
 |
| Hardy Fuchsias ... oh I miss those sweet blossoms. |
 |
| A tad bit blurry, Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin) in its floral prime |
 |
| How come my Hollyhocks never look like this? |
Finally a bit of humor:
 |
| Maybe the most tasteful rendition of pink flamingos I've seen. And of course, there's always got to be one rogue. |
 |
| No taste here at all. |
Hang in there. Spring is coming!
