Lilacs

Lilacs blooming very well this year. They smell so pretty. These are 2 different shades of them intertwined In front I have a smaller version that blooms later

My rock garden. I removed more than half of the gray-greenish stuff which will be covered in white flowers next week. But it killed a lot of my good stuff. In bloom, the creeping phlox, bugle weed, primrose and thrift

I spent 5 hours straight doing some activity:  an hour long run followed my 7.5 mile bike ride and almost 3 hours of gardening putting in the compost that Steve earned as an election official. I planted a peony and a zillion irises along with some calla lilies. After my minivacation next week, I'll get annuals.
