I beg your pardon!

I never promised you a rose garden! Or maybe I should say, "Ellie, Ellie, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?"
Well, pretty good! Here are my red tulips in the midst of my collected rocks. If you can tell me what the green is beside it, I would appreciate it!

One of my 5 sunflowers!

Yellow double tulips!

Yellow something or other, was here and if someone could tell me what this is, I would appreciate it, too!

The new little lilac buds on the bush by my front door. Isn't it cute?

Maroon tulips. In the back ground you see the maroon hen and chicks being closely guarded by the maroon bird (given to me from Jo Jo). In the background, you can see the "cheeserock" Vel gave me years ago.


Miniature poppies. These were too cute to pass up!
Pan full of pansies!

Peonies...I love them. I remember how beautiful they were in Gramma Rubye's yard at the cabin in Story.

Bleeding heart.


Columbine.
Donkey guarding the pink petunias. DONKEY???

Transplanted hen and chicks around our little stack of petrified wood which are atop the rock I've packed around for years...

These are momma's irises and are doing great! Some are ones I gave her from when I lived in South Dakota and some are from the house in Hulett. Planted around the perimeter are beloved Kenny's marigolds. They'll be up in 10 days or so!

Above are "pinks" which are little pink carnations with the SWEETEST smell. These came from momma's flowers, too!

And finally...Gus the great companion follows me. His face is wet because he chases the water coming out of the hose. He's usually drenched by the time I'm ready to go inside. He just wants me to through his dang stick!

How is your garden growing?

Taco Tuesday!

What beautiful spring weather we are having! I'll post some pics of what's coming up in my flower bed this afternoon!
(Montana springs are much later than those of you on the east coast!)
Have a great day!

Words and Music by Roger Nichols and Paul Williams


Sung by the BEST.
(Click on best)

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
