I love all those first wonderful blooms that come out.  The yard is looking so cheerful and lovely these days.  Here are a few shots.

  Knockout Roses 

(They bloom all summer)

Peonies

(One of our favorites!)

Weigela

(A gift from AtTheCross)

Some of the front yard

(Notice HisCross--he's doing a mess science experiment)

(Yes, we're still schooling.  We'll go all summer.)
