Hah, Tam!
It's not much of a showplace here today. As I glance out the window, I see that we're in that lovely stage of naked dandelion stalks looming over nice, smooth and short-cut lawn; it looks awful!
It'll take another cut or two to pretty things up for the year.
My first large-headed decorative alliums are getting some nice buds though...I'm excited about those! I'm not sure what I'm going to do about hiding their leaves later on when they start to decline...they're taller and larger than I'd planned on, and they're in a small raised bed.
Hopefully, the variegated grass will help them blend in until they disappear.
We had a young'un over for a play-date yesterday, so I didn't get any yard work done.
I still haven't made it in to my favorite nursery yet this year, usually I'm there for pre-sales a week before they open.
They've already had their doors open now for a couple of weeks...
along with the shower stall for the upstairs bath,and the lumber thats all painted for the side entry.... 
Hmmm... 
Mines blooming ,I love the little mounds it forms... 
The plants are always big and healthy, and the price is right. They carry a minimum of perennials, but have some great bedding and container plants. The owners can usually be coaxed into holding tender purchases until you can take them, too - a definite plus!
