Spring flowers...

Spring flowers and perennials are so pretty, 

I only wish they would last longer.

Crocus's are some of the first to come up in my shade garden, most years they get covered by a coat of snow but usually survive thanks to a quick melt

Lilly of the Valley cover most of the garden

and the bleeding hearts never disappoint

Purple Columbine come last. 

The Garden Gnome is the protector of the garden, so far it's working. 

My little G-daughter bends down to smell the Daffodils during an early visit to the Plummer House

I found this pretty little Rose plant at our local grocery store in Park Rapids

I bought one for me and one for my mom, her's is the classic Red color.

This week I will be planting my Zinnia's, and putting in a few Annuals.

It's a good thing I've waited given the near freezing temps  the last few days.
