The Garden is Full of Surprises

Every time I go into the yard there is a new surprise.  Daily there are new plants in bloom and new things to see.  Sometimes this isn't for the best such as some critter eating my bean plants in the dark of night, but others are wonderful surprises.  This week the little henry, spiderwort, and spirea are in bloom by the pine tree making a beautiful vignette.  Once the fence goes in (supposedly tomorrow), I'll be able to fill in a few more plants and perhaps this garden will start to look like a well tended surprise tucked into the far corner of the yard.  Enjoy this weeks pictures:
