today marks our 1-year anniversary of taking on the property
a few things noticed this week:
-the first cricket chirps of the season (just today)
-the tree frogs started their calls this week also, on Sunday night for hte first time, they haven't missed a night since...i think they keep talking for another 6 weeks, through at least the end of June
-several German Bearded iris varieties are in bloom: burgundy, pale blue, cream, yellow, and the most common blue...thanks to my sister and brother in law who salvaged them last Summer...the rocky hillside now is cloaked in beautiful color and with gorgeous fragrance
-the Siberian irises along the driveway are blooming
-the tomatoes and peppers are planted
-continuing to label all the plants we installed this year, and several species throughout our wooded areas
-we had the heaviest rain we have seen for a couple years that washed out part of the local township road...our driveway held strong. the Japanese sedges, siberian irises, and ribbon grass held everything in place and slowed the water down bautifully so it wouldn't gorge out beside the driveway
