in the yard

we've been enjoying our yard lately. the flowers are in bloom and are beautiful. madeleine likes to "help" when i water the garden. 

i let her water the grass. 

some of our irises.

our neighbors have these gorgeous peonies that peek through our chain link fence (i guess chain link is good for something?). i am pretty jealous of them. they mingle with our irises and tease me. i was going to steal some that were on our side of the fence to put inside, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. we were at church yesterday and i complimented our neighbor on the peonies and she said, "feel free to snip some to put in your house." permission granted.

 

spring never lasts long enough for me. but i guess that summer means vegetables, so i won't complain too much.
