Spring is Springing

 At last! At last! Methinks it is Spring at last! (Don't hold your breath though...it may change) Went out to poke around in the dirt and see if anything is growing. Found lovely Epimedium ( Barrenwort), all white and fresh. It is drought tolerant and is very good at surviving.
 New pea shoots popping up everywhere in the gooseberry patch. Kind of cute, aren't they?
 New gooseberry bushes, planted last fall. They made it through the winter! My huge rhubarb in he background. The same one I have transplanted all across Canada, from the Maritimes. It made it as well.......
 These are very cool.....Chocolate Rose Leaves. The roses actually have the scent of dark chocolate.
 And this is White Cat. She likes to hang out in our garden and chase the pigeons and birds, and fluff around my feet telling me about her exploits. She is one of seven cats who hide, just like she is doing, below one of the terraces to stalk birds.  Hysterical when they all chase pigeons...
 Leopard's Bane.....kind of like a big daisy. Sometimes has bloomed again in the fall, but not always. Love the name........
                      The last of the Star Magnolia blossoms.......almost done for this year.
