Peony
 

Everything is starting to peak out from the soil...even the peonies although they are just testing the air with a pinkie.
J and I went to the garden centre again this weekend and started two more trays of flowers and veg. Mojito Salvia, Chinese Lanterns and some gorgeous white columbines called Aquilegia Lime Sorbet for the flowers and more tomatoes, broccoli and zucchini. I dread that I will be that lady who is trying to pawn off pounds and pounds of zucchini!
I am definitely going to need a deep freeze before fall.

We also have a new visitor to the yard...or maybe he's not new at all. Either way, there is a very irritated Robin who is hanging out in the yard giving us some serious stink eye. It could be due to the fact that we have chopped down the shrub that he nested in last year...
He comes around when we are outside and sits on the roof or the fence and stares at J. Weirder still...over the weekend when we were digging, Mister Robin decides to check out what I am up to and lands on the ground about 2 feet from me and just casually checks me out. I say hi, grab a worm and throw it over. Without even a flinch, he hops over to the worm, grabs it and takes off.
J thinks I am some sort of animal whisperer.
