Spring Garden

Good morning sweet friends.
Many of you have been posting pics of your wonderful gardens,
so I decided to join in on the fun.
Unfortunately I do have a small garden.
Its the trade off for being by the river.

First up are my teeny tiny violets.

Next my blue hosta and lilly of the valley to the right.
These lillies have decided to spread into the lawn now,
so I have to thin them out.

Yellow cushion spurge.

Chocolate chip ajuga with its purple blooms.

Now these pics you can tell I need to spruce my garden up a bit.
I have to get up the courage to weed these small beds.
You see lately we have been cursed with having some
unwelcome visitors called Eastern Fox snakes.
I still say Robin from The Cranky Crow sent them to us. LOL
I was planting some flowering shrubs in our front yard
last Saturday 
creating a small garden near our pear tree.
I like gardening without gloves.
Well I was removing some old ivy that originally was there...
and what do I see slithering off..
of course the tail of a baby fox snake.
I immediately went into the house...
called Bob at the store and told him
"I AM DONE"
He thought I was done planting.
"NO" I said.
"I AM SO DONE WITH SNAKES."
He reminds me that I removed a baby fox snake
 out of the yard last year.
So I said ok and hung up.
Went on my computer to find out why we have snakes
now when before we did not.
It seems we have a healthy eco-system and that is why they are here.
REALLY???
So how do I get a bad eco-system..cause I want them gone.
Well, after reading that,
I decided to get my boots on and some gardening gloves,
and I was going to rid my yard of this baby snake.
Of course I could not find him after that...
and hopefuly I won't ever again.

This is why I need the courage to weed my backyard now.
Snakes like leaves..and I have lots of dead ones that I use for Winter mulch.

Any suggestions?

My last Spring flowers are some dandys.
Mikayla picked these especially for me!
Don't they look gorgeous in my tiny blue pitcher.

Dandy Spring Blessings To All!
