Garden is Slowly Coming Alive


My two azeala bushes are blooming:

 Here is a closeup of one flower:
 They are so lovely, but in my garden the bush does not get very large.  I envy all of you gardeners who post gorgeous pics of  your HUGE  azeala bushes while I am left to enjoy my puny little specimens!

I cut back my butterfly bush last weekend.  I know a lot of people in my zone (5) wonder what to do with butterfly bushes.  I cut mine down in May.  They grow fast and will reach the top of my deck railing by August.




It has been a while since I have shown you my Colwater Creek purchases (I am too embarrassed to show you everything I buy :) )

A few weeks ago I purchased this top:


Don't you just love the crocheted detail?   I wore this last weekend  and I really liked how it looked paired with  jeans and a denim jacket. It washed nicely, too. I used the delicate cycle and hung it to dry. 

I also bought a pair of Naturalizer wedge sandals that I have not worn yet.
I think they will be great with my white summer jackets. I hope they are comfortable.
 
I am hoping for a nice day today. It's already 53 degrees and its only 5:30 a.m. Hoping to see mid 70's today.

  3. Your Azalea is lovely. My 2 finally bit the dust last year. The last ones I had. I wish I could have them along with the Rhodies, but it's just not meant to be in my soil.

    I do love that top Zoey. I love that kind of thing.

  4. I love to see what you have bought, Zoey. Don't ever think that we get tired of seeing clothes...after all we are women. I don't buy as much as I used to...so I shop vicariously through you :)

  5. I love your blouse!

    Funny I never noticed Azaleas in Mid-Missouri, but they were thick in North Carolina last week.

    Enjoy your beautiful day!
