May is almost over...

. . . and the honeysuckle is in full bloom.

The clematis has one bloom, but dozens of others are just about to burst open.

The grass is filling in beautifully in the checkerboard patio, and the patches of the yard that were reseeded and sodded are filling in very nicely. We've moved all but one or two plants that needed transplanting. Now we just need to get some mulch and fill it all in.

Flowers...inside and out

Our oldest daughter planted this old Coca-Cola crate with a beautiful arrangement for my Mother's Day gift (along with a surprise visit from both our daughters!) and then her husband and kids bought her a gorgeous bouquet while they were visiting us, but they decided not to travel with it when they left for home this morning, so I'm enjoying her flowers inside and out! Thank you, Tobi!
