Bloom a little while longer, please!

Four days of 90+ weather and we are in business...blooming business, that is! Dogwoods and crabapples fully matured a week or two sooner. Then a drop of 30 degrees and rain this past week did not showcase their blooms for long. I badly want to get out there and do some planting but, instead, I'm bundled up indoors fighting a cold! I'm determined to get out there today, rain or shine, because I NEED some garden therapy...you understand, I know you do!

It was SO hot that the kwansan cherry blossoms have peaked and is already creating pink snow...pretty but messy.

The Forget-me-nots came back with a vengeance and are ALL OVER the place!

They sure look great underneath the bleeding hearts.

SO hot that the tulips, green buds one day and fully opened the next...are almost finished!

Little stinker, Bandit, more trampling than tip-toeing, through my tulips...
but he knows Mama won't stay mad for long..lol.

SO hot that this little guy would want to take his fur coat off.

Anyone recognize these blooms? I found this surprise under the cherry tree but don't remember planting it. Each "flower" is less than an inch tall and has pretty deep cut leaves like an old fashioned dicentra. Odd, but very cute!

I enjoy visitors to my little garden anytime but these guys are NOT welcomed! I spied them early one morning as they were canvassing the yard for their next meal. Sorry, kitchen closed...GO AWAY!

Hope y'all have a great weekend and be sure to get some dirt under those fingernails!
