BITTERSWEET RAMBLE

I have not rambled around my garden much this spring. Last year at this time I had no idea we would be planning a move this year but after a winter of heath issues we have decided we need to live where we have public transportation so that when we can no longer drive we will have shopping and public transportation within  walking distance. We are working on getting moved some time before the end of the year and I have been busy deciding what to keep and what to move.  Rambling around this morning  is sort of bitter sweet seeing what is being left behind.  We are moving to a home that is one room larger (dining room) then the one we have now but the yard is one third the size with no fence and many restrictions we don't have now so it will be a challenge to create a back yard garden like I have done here but looking forward to a new adventure.

 Passion flowers getting ready to bloom

 Bougainvillea getting started again after a hard freeze this winter

  Heavenly Bamboo flowers (Nandina)


 Spiders spinning their webs

 Asparagus fern flowers

 Blooms in my butterfly garden (?)

 Sunflower trees

Wood chip I like

 Wild plum  volunteers

 Old sand pine tree limb having it's way with our fence

 Limbs that bend but do not break

 Bleeding heart

 Virginia creeper

 Empty pots waiting to be cleaned and moved to new home

At first I was lost and then I was found...
