There's too much work to do and not enough time to blog much lately, so I have missed posting photos of the progress of spring and of the garden. Suffice it to say, it has been a glorious spring!
Here are a few shots of current blossoms.
Duckalicious Nasturtiums--this year I planted them in a tall urn so the ducks and chickens won't devour them (they are apparently aptly named).
Centaurea, in a little perennial bed under the windmill.
Geranium, next to the Centaurea. (A mostly blue theme going on here, with forget-me-nots, borage...)
Drumstick alliums out in the veggie garden. I LOVE these, but they are about done for the year.
Peony, tentatively opening one petal yesterday--I expect full blossoms today.
OK, I am back again.
I just went out to photograph that same peony bud this morning and here it is--Actually, today the bush is covered with fragrant, open blooms.
Cadence has a spectacular ruffly iris in her new perennial bed project by the granary.
One bleeding heart still looks pretty good.
Way back at Easter I got two big pots of begonias to flank the front door. It was too sunny for them there, so I moved them next to the chicken coop--I love how they look next to the red barnwood. I hope chickens don't find begonias as tasty as they do nasturtiums.

I was wondering what type of camera you use? The pictures on your blog always look so great. My wife is looking for a new camera as we prepare for a trip to Alaska later this month. Thanks for the info.
Thanks! My camera is a Canon EOS Rebel xti. It serves me well, despite benign neglect, and I dearly love it.
