Gardening and an update

As I upload these photos today I am wishing the weather was as nice as yesterday.  A beautiful day in the high 70's, Galen and Otis and I spent the day in the garden.  

As we turned the warm soil in the beds, Otis took a nap in the sunshine, in the strawberry patch, of course.  Silly dog.  

We planted onions, potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.  And I always plant marigolds around the beds.  I put in some chives, too.  

The peach tree is in bloom.  I took this photo this morning, a gray morning, but I think the pink flowers are lovely and so cheery!

And an update:

For those of you who have been following my journey these past few years with breast cancer, I want you to know I am doing well.  My appointment on Thursday left me feeling very happy.  A good report ~ no cancer.  I am feeling strong, energetic and glad to have my life back.  Finally, normalcy!  I feel great.

Just wanted to let you know and to thank you for being with me and giving me encouragement when I needed it the most.  xoxo

Pink beauty

My Elberta Peach Tree.

Foxglove and peaches

Foxglove are a favorite of mine and I bought and planted some last year but they didn't bloom. This year they bloomed and are absolutely beautiful. They remind me of the English cottage gardens which I love. And the nice thing is they will spread, so I'm looking forward to having a lot more.

Peaches

Another favorite of mine.

I've always wanted fruit trees ~ so this year dear hubby was kind enough to cut down an old evergreen in the back yard that was actually shading the garden, and plant a peach tree for me.





We picked one up at the local garden center.





He planted it where the evergreen was. It will have plenty of room and get lots of sunshine, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

And it even has little peaches growing already! What a treat!

And speaking of treats.......Otis and Riley wait with eager eyes and a wagging tail.

Enjoy your day!
