Now that I have a better camera, I can get pretty good shots from my dining room window. Would you like to see what I see?
Here you can see parts of the cottage garden and rocky garden, the raised beds (for herbs and vegetables), daylily junction (by the garden shed), and the berry patch. It has a good start; it'll look so much fuller in a month or so. While I look forward to that, I'm going to enjoy each stage of the garden as it comes - there won't be any tulips as time goes on, and I do love them.
These guys can be kind of a pain, however, we do rely on them in February to predict the length of our winter! He is a groundhog, also known as a woodchuck.

The hummingbirds have returned.
ALSO IN THE GARDEN, BUT not PHOTOGRAPHED FROM THE DINING ROOM:
Bleeding heart
Columbine - love the color
Primula sieboldii
Virginia bluebells - wow, have these ever taken off. They are SO beautiful.
Most of my tulips are gone, but I'm still enjoying these red and white beauties.
I am enjoying my garden, and spending a lot of time on various gardening tasks including clean-up, edging, digging out dead roses (boo hoo), planting, and weeding....and a myriad of other little tasks. All part of maintaining a large garden....and it's totally worth it! :)
