Things are really just getting started here but here is a sampling of what's blooming now.

Somehow I can never get this to look like I see it in real life - a sea of lavender color interspersed with the red brooms.

The sea of red -- for the life of me I can't remember the name of this plant & I have photos of it in the db but can't find it b/c I've forgotten the name. It's comprised of itsy, bitsy, teeny, tiny reddish pink blooms.

This is the sea of lavender closer up - it's Stachys floridana or Fl. Hedgenettle

Dandelions all over the place Lovey dubby - they had closed for the day by the time I got out there for photo taking otherwise you would have seen yellow blooms interspersed in all the photos

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
