My lilacs are just finishing - it will seem like such a long time between
now and next year...
The peonies are in full bloom - beautiful for my office and my secretary's
desk.

Stock - what a scent!
Johnny Jump Ups, and all other violas

flowers 8 - 10" across; Duchess of Edinburgh is a showstopper with
multipetaled white blooms, with green undertones; the President is 8"

on a show of wine coloured blooms. Tried to press one of each in my flower
press

And the summer has just begun. The wild rabbits have eaten my 4th planting
of peas, beans and lettuce, so I give up. Turned over the dirt tonight and
planted flowers. Alittle tired of keeping the rabbit population well fed.
Oh! We've had ducks frequent our pond, and last night noticed that mama
duck has 10 baby ducklings - they are SOOO cute. Sure hope they stay.
