What a crazy storm we had last night - thunder, lightening, heavy rains, high winds - whew! The creek on my property is roaring again - I could hear it from the bedroom with all the windows shut!
I jumped out of bed and couldn't wait to get outside. It was lovely and warm out, and although everything was absolutely drenched I had to go for a little walkabout.
Which of course got me thinking again about spring gardening.
The folks that owned the house before me came from a family of gardeners - I really lucked out.
The steps that lead up to my deck walk right up through a lush perennial garden. What a lovely welcome to my home!

It got a little crazy in those perennial beds this summer, as shown in these August photos. however, in my defense, this was my first season in the house and I had to let everything grow to see what's what.
