Sweet William

I am pleased.
The Sweet William is in bloom.
The Silver-spotted Skippers have found food.
More Lupine have bloomed as well.

I have not seen Mr. Bumbles for a few days.
Perhaps he has hive duties to attend to.

Dear Naturegirl,
Mr. Bumbles went visiting! How nice for you and him. Yes, he is a friendly bee.
So many chores in the gardens now. I enjoy them.
I also worked on bushes today. While your lilacs are blooming mine are past and all the spent blooms needed to be trimmed off. I braided daffodile leaves too. I lost about a dozen mums in the bitter April cold snap and now I must decide if I will replace with mums or not.
I am looking forward to seeing white and blue Sweet Williams. I only have the old fashioned type.
Have a wonderful long weekend.

Dear Sheila,
I do like the Sweet William. I try and save seed and let some self sow.
The are bi-annuals for me.
NG will take good care of the Bumbles! They are busy!!!
I guess I do not have enough flowers to keep them occupied.
More seeds....
My gardening enthusiasm is waning.
Once I dig out the dead plants maybe I won't feel so dejected.

Hi Mike,
I have visited the Ozarks many, many times! Lovely area.
I enjoyed visiting your journal too. Your series on front porches was most enjoyable.
