I had big plans this week to tootle in my garden this week, but my treatment has left me feeling lifeless and blah. I made myself get out earlier in the week and head to Armstrong's Nursery...I usually find myself so happy walking amoung the flowers and plants and usually come out spending more than I should of, but seeing fresh planted plants in our little garden {usually} makes me really happy. Not so this time. Here is what the garden looked like last year right about this time...
these guys are coming back for a show...they are called
the hydrangea...looks like this now but a bit bigger. I don't see any blooms on it yet.
the Bleeding Hearts and Gladiolas....are looking very happy reaching for the sun. Hopefully time will change the mood and I'll feel like planting before you know it. Keep your fingers crossed! I'm linking up to Cindy's Show and Tell



















What a pretty garden. You are so far ahead of us it's sickening! Feel better soon. :)

I'm so sorry your treatment affected you this way. I think you're doing such a good job at keeping a good attitude!
I love going to the garden center and seeing all the possibilities! I always spend way more than I planned and then have tons of things to fit in.
Take care,
Manuela

Hello again! Thank you for visiting my blog:) You had asked where in Cal I am, we're in South Orange County...Laguna Hills specifically. Where are you? Also, I love your blog but I don't know how to follow typepad ones! They don't have the little follow buttons on them (or maybe they do and I'm missing it?). I had a huge chuckle over your "cake bomb" post, hilarious!
