Rainbow Frogs

Wow, today's topics are all about gardening ...

This morning was such beautiful weather that I decided to work in the garden. You might feel envious that I have a reasonable sized garden, but it is really hard work! In the past two or three weeks, weeds have sprung up from no-where like magic :(

But one good thing about the warmer weather is that summer creatures are beginning to appear. You can find small lizards scurrying about in the sunshine and look at what else I found today: rainbow frogs!

My guess is that when they hibernate in the winter, frogs become brown and when it gets warmer they change back to green. Is that true? And why could I find an almost WHITE frog?

Mystery Flower

Can you tell me what this flower's name is? You can see them here and there in people's gardens.

It is a kind of bulb (I found out by accident when I pulled one up by mistake), and they are growing in my garden. I didn't put them there and I don't know if they are wild or someone planted them long ago.

Are these Japanese flowers?

Spring in my garden

For the past few weeks I've been taking snapshots of things in my garden. All of the flower pictures are from sometime in the last few weeks. I really like plants that take care of themselves, so pansies are just perfect! As you can see, I like all shades of blue and purple. Yellow is a nice contrast so I planted some yellow ones, too.

As for the tulips, the packet of bulbs was mixed so I got red and white as well as purple and yellow, so I put those in a different place.

Back again!

Um, yes, I am still alive! Sometimes you might wonder where I disappeared to, but just be patient and I'll appear again!

Life has been busy the past few weeks. I had a few events to organize and attend, plus daily life and work. I am sure I don't know where time goes :)
