Things are changing in the garden ...

Peonies are one of the first spring flowers to break the drabness of winter in the garden. With their glorious burst of colour, their tight buds full of promise for a bountiful bloom.

Their beauty is brilliant and the vivid colours are beyond striking against the green of the leaves. If one has taken the time to provide the proper support, the elements provide the right amount of sun, rain, and warmth, they will grace us with their beauty for a few weeks.

Well the peonies are long gone. Maybe a bloom or two is still hanging on. But there is lots of new darlings and thinks happening in the garden as summer starts.Along with the changes in the flower beds ... there are other changes that start to take place.

These changes do not go unnoticed by my little furbabies, who are on alert.

This little guy was trying to do his best to go unnoticed....just outside our dinning patio door.

and his friends were a little wiser and stayed close to the gardens.

Butterflies are everywhere ...

The rose garden and butterfly garden are coming alive. Each day on my walks with the furbabies we see a new bloom.

from the lavender to the lilies to roses ...

Above are some of my favourite places to stop for a little rest and enjoy.

All the changing in the garden, got me thinking -How we can learn from the garden about life. Sometimes everything is vibrant and blooming.

While other times you are left with all the debris of what was once brilliant. During these times it's important to remember that there will be vibrancy and your days will once again be filled with glorious blooms.
