Spring Has Sprung!

Now that my hubby and I are home owners with an actual yard, I have become quite fond of gardening. Beware...it is addicting! I have lately been consumed with researching, buying and planting flowers and herbs of all sorts. Our buckaroo was born on Cinco de Mayo, and believe it or not, there exist a Cinco de Mayo rose bush. I tend to have the philosophy "go big or go home", so in his honor I have planted 3 Cinco de Mayo rose bushes. They are currently blooming and gorgeous. My favorite however, has always been the Peony. It is such a romantic and feminine looking flower. We have one wonderful peony bush and I have 2 more yet to plant. I am by no means 'master gardener' status, but I am proud of what has been accomplished in our yard so far. My father in-law, the Big Cheese, is in the process of building us a raised bed garden for veggies. Stay tuned Teacup, for pics as we tackle that plot of dirt...can hardly wait!

My beloved peonies starting to bloom!

Drake is a little wet here from playing in the water hose but this picture makes me smile.
