Back in New England

It is great to travel but even better to come home. My garden seems to have gone wild in the time I was gone.

While I was away, a friend stopped by to see my wife and the house. She was kind enough to bring by a rose bush as a gift. I found the perfect spot for it in my perennial bed. And the red roses added to my welcome home to Massachusetts.

In another part of the garden, the peonies are just starting to come out. I have a good bank of peonies that all bloom white.

And last of all, the Irises are in bloom. I have several clumps of Siberian Iris that bloom a deep blue.
