Life in the Yard

Breezy, breezy day up at the Iowa Big House. Let's take a walk-about and see what's growin'.

Columbine, bowing to the north and thinking, "Nothing exciting ever happens around this joint..."


New feature this year, "Robin-Cam!"
Stay tuned for updates, providing the two youngest do not discover the nest location....

Lily of the Valley: fragrant...irresistible...
...and also highly toxic. Only to be grown by trained professionals or people who don't know any better.

View of severe storm clouds two counties east, much to Kendra's chagrin.
Funny how most storm fronts divide and avoid our neck-of-the-woods.

The peonies are blooming! The peonies are blooming!
J.R.R Tolien's first choice in phraseology for his LOTR books, the cry was later changed to the more familiar, "The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!" after a heated discussion with an unreasonable editor who had issues with perennials.

And that concludes today's Life in the Yard presentation.

More to come, depending on survival rates of remaining flora and fauna.
