We have aliums!

Three years ago I planted some giant aliums and some mini aliums. The first year only the mini aliums came up. Second year still no giant aliums. I gave up on them. I figured they rotted away or a fat squirrel dug em up and ate em.

Yesterday I noticed something new in the flower bed. They weren't my mini aliums. It was the giant ones! I have no idea what made them decide to come up this year but I hope they bloom as big as my head!

Lilac Festival

It's lilac season again and with that comes the Lilac Festival!

And the Lilac Parade.

This little guy was really happy to be in the parade.

Spring Daisy Garland

I wanted to make some spring garlands for gifties. I decided to go with a daisy theme.

I was going to fill the ribbon with daisies, but they took longer than I thought so each garland got five flowers.

This year instead of Easter baskets for goodies like the daisy garlands, I got these really cute "green" bags at Target.

First Day of Spring

First day of spring. It's trying to make its way in my front yard.
