Spring Snowballs

These are my kind of snowball.

It is my favorite season of all.

I know I post too many pictures of them, but it is a very short season.

I have them planted in almost every garden.

This bush has baby shoots underneath that need to be dug out.

I will move them to a new garden and water them good for the rest of the summer.

This crazy bush is in need of a good trim.

After the blooms are done, of course.

 I also have to trim some of the clematis vines from it. 

They hang to the ground, they are so big and fluffy.

Of course, you can't have a snowball bush without the spirea bushes.

This bush we can see from our kitchen window.

Hard to believe I gave it a hardy trim last year.

Like the snowball bush this is another viburnum bush, I love the hydrangea look it has to it.

Anyone in for a snowball fight?

I am joining Tracy from Fishtail Cottage for a Garden Party.  

If you have not visited her gardens yet, you must, they are a sight to behold.

And, I am joining Courtney at French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.  

No one feathers their nest like Courtney!

It has been a while, I am also joining Cindy from My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hydrangeas in my Gardens

I have been busy working with Mr. M. on the dry wall in the garage.

My gardens have still been growing like mad.

The weeds I mean.

I stole a few minutes and took some pictures of the blooms right now.

Potted boxwood on the brick patio.

Pea Gee hydrangea bush mixed in with the fairy roses.

As you can see, I really love these white Hydrangeas.

They are so hardy, great for full sun.

White roses in bloom again.

The new garden FULL OF WEEDS.

Hydrangea turning colors.

Love the pink.

A new Pea Gee waiting to be planted.

Yeah, I still have a few left that I have to plant.

I have been trying to get out and weed and plant, but the renovation work has to be done first.

Oh well, I will be on vacation in a couple of weeks and I can finish that to do list.

And you?

Did you finish all of your garden planting this year, or have you found some last minute ones you just had to add to your gardens?

Snowball Fight Anyone?

My youngest son can't wait to have a snowball fight with my spring snowballs.

I have to say these bushes are one of my favorites.

I have them planted all around the house.

I have been lucky to have low branches root themselves into smaller bushes.

I let them grow for a few years untouched, then they are dug out and put into a new garden.

These bushes were transplants to newer gardens when we built our addition 4 years ago.

This big bush is outside our kitchen window.

Behind the large snowball bush is the back deck.  

They provide great privacy.

Here are two large snowball bushes on the East side of the house.

This big beautiful mass of white flowers is a bridal spirea bush.

These are probably my favorite bush.

I have these bushes planted all around the house.

They are in need of a trim, I can't do it until after we enjoy the flowers.

There is some of that hot pink I am planting in my pots this year.

I am almost done planting the pots on the back deck.

These are pictures of the front yard gardens.

The arbor will soon be covered in pink and white roses.

Just look at that sky. 

I was able to get these pictures taken just before the rain and lightning came.

This is a good picture to show you how the snow ball bushes and spirea bushes are around the house.

It still amazes me when I look at pictures of the gardens.

There was nothing here but farm land 16 years ago.

We did this.

I planted these gardens and trees.

This picture is from the front yard standing next to the willow tree.

Such a long driveway, sometimes I wonder what we were thinking.

So, can I interest anyone in a spring snowball fight?
