Yesterday was an excellent day for working in the gardens. It was sunny and about 70 degrees, just right. Got a lot of work done; digging holes for new plants, removing weeds, amending soil, general maintenance, etc. However, in the early part of the afternoon the winds changed and came in off the lake. Anyone living near Lake Michigan knows what that means. The temperature dropped form 70+ degrees down to 55 degrees in less than 5 minutes. Got a little chilly for me. This is always a welcomed breeze during the hot days of July but not this early in the gardening season. The cold air coming onto the land forms a ground fog. Looks haunting.
Before the change in temperature, I took some photos of the garden keeping thus record of what is blooming when. There are a number of additional early spring flowers that have opened since the last posting of the early blooms here in the garden which was posted on April 14th titled “Quote”.2 just in case you want to check those out. Things are looking good.
Enjoy!
Beautiful pictures from your garden. It looks like spring at your place. The Erythronium is very pretty. It's sad to read about the eggs. The nature is so ruthless. We have still frost at night here.

ReplyDeleteAs they say, it is the "circle of life". Plants and animals feed off others to stay alive. It is a hard fact of life. I try to look at the good that death brings to other living things. Not always most pleasant to contemplate but it is reality of the whole eco-system. Thanks for your comments.
Beautiful spring blooms! Circle of life, yes, but tough. I don't live on one of the big lakes, but I know how the temps can change fast near any large lake. We were chilly today, too, but the forecast going forward is great.
ReplyDeleteFinally it is warm the last day, however I think it is going to be chilly once again for a couple of days. Bah Humbug! Lots finally blooming.
Deleteinteresting the fog! and your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJozien, Glad you were able to visit the blog. I do agree that the fog is interesting especially as one watches it move in from the lake on to the shore. The temperature changes by 15 to 20 degrees, really!
DeleteBonitas fotos, una pena la perdida de la madre y los huevos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
thanks for the compliment on my photos. Yes it is sad about the eggs, but thwart is life
