Things With Leaves and Feathers

They're calling my name; these things with leaves and feathers enticingly beckon me outdoors for long periods of time. I am continuing to work on getting the perennials planted and arranged according to my plan. I have had a few mis-steps along the way, due to poor drainage in the back corner of the garden space I have been forced to move the Russian Sage to a drier location and revamp my original garden idea. I have planted Cardinal Flower in its place, apparently they will thrive with wet feet; I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have loads of Easter Lilies sprouting from where I planted four or five over the last two years.

Cardinal Flower, White Mountain Leucanthemum and Munstead Lavender. 

Half of the perennial garden with Easter Lilies from this year, along with Garden Phlox, to be set in. I hope to share many more photos as the summer progresses and this garden takes shape and fills with color. 

The other half of the garden, the shadier section. See that Bluebird house on the far right?

Yes, there are now SIX eggs! We'll have a bluebird population explosion!

 Mama Bluebird, always keeping vigil.  

And proud Papa!

All of this is occurring just outside my Studio windows, no wonder I can't get anything else done; with distractions like these it isn't easy to stay indoors!

Life is Good!
