5/29/11 PERFECT TEN DAY, PORCH SETTIN' AND LOTS OF BLOOMS

THE DAY PROMISES TO BE A "PERFECT TEN"

THE PORCH IS READY FOR "SETTIN''"

BLEEDING HEART ARE BLOOMING

...AND PRIMROSES

...AND DWARF IRIS

Sunday, 9:00 AM.  63 degrees, wind W, calm to very light.  The sky is crystal clear except for a few stratospheric white clouds.  It promises to be a “perfect ten” day and a top-down afternoon, but I have annuals left to plant and the lawn to mow first.  I try not to mow the lawn on Sundays or holidays but it is growing like crazy now, which is what I get for fertilizing it several weeks ago.
    Bleeding heart, dwarf Iris, creeping phlox, primrose and candy tuft are all blooming in the garden now, along with the tulips.  The daffodils are almost done.  They have bloomed for a month.  The lilacs are in full bud and some are opening.
