Hello Steem Fam!

It's been a while since I took you on a #walkwithme. We're not gonna go far today, I actually have been really slacking lately and it's time to crack the ol' whip on myself, I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid of Heart Attack Hill again...

But enough with the fear and self-loathing, let's look at some (just beginning to bloom) Lupins and other beautiful life sprouting up everywhere.

And Lilacs...they always remind me of being a child at my Gramma's house.

Still Don't Have the Heart to Cut the Lawn

The dandelion fluffs just look so great...I can't believe I used to abhor these (and ashamedly not too long ago either).

Some spider's web attached between flowers.

Here's A Couple More Beauties!

Some Garden Treats

Dill

Stryder loves to go through the garden and eat dill, good thing it grows like a weed!

It's salad season again! Beautiful Kale. Have you ever had a kale caeser salad? They are so good.

Honestly guys...the things happening on my front lawn garden are pretty savage. I have seedlings going wild. So much from last year seeded itself, I've only planted a few things the rest is all nature. To anyone driving by right now, it looks like a mess, but if they come back in a couple months they won't be able to believe their eyes...there are going to be thousands upon thousands of cosmos and poppies. In amongst all of that is lettuce, beans, peas, radish, kale, sunflowers, herbs and other flowers.

Lettuces growing everywhere from the seeds that spread last fall.

Radish

Time for Mr. Oregano to get a haircut soon.

Happy Plant

Sugar Peas gone wild...the ones in the photo below I didn't even plant, and they are no where near where I had them planted last year (they're on the lawn under the crab apple tree). The mysteries and wonders of gardening. Definitely an animal was involved, or perhaps fae.

And speaking of under the apple tree, it's so beautiful there now that the petals have fallen off.

We Had a Frost the Other Night

And as you can see, a lot of our plants survived. And I will show you some that died, but I won't show you the dead tomatoes because the pain is still too fresh.

Dead cosmos, it's okay though because I only lost about a quarter of them. All the tomatoes are dead, not one survivor. Kicking myself for not continuing to check the weather, I really thought we were in the clear...the best lessons are the painful ones because they really sink in.
