Days of rain and sun have brightened up the garden and set our wisteria, rhododendrons and azaleas ablaze… enjoy!

peony love…
What a gorgeous surprise this Sunday, the first peonys are blooming. I just love peonys, the delicate petals remind me of beautiful dress. We have one peony plant in particular that we can’t get enough of, it’s blooms have a sweet, citrusy scent, just divine! 
Here are some pics from around the garden this Sunday. I have determined that the best horses are your neighbour’s horses, you can enjoy them without all the upkeep:-)

Sunday Iris and Mellow Soap
Well, there goes the drought. We have been well doused in rain and the plants are looking mighty happy. The mint and the iris have jumped into high gear and look spring fresh. 
Couldn’t resist trying out a nice mellow blend of Cocoa Butter, Vanilla and Peppermint swirled with dried apricot seed powder for my new soap made on Sunday. As I thought the Cocoa Butter really worked well in the molded soap giving them a nice clean edge. 
flowers at night…
enjoyed snapping these pics tonight as the rain fell on the spring flowers…
