rj, lots of changes -- as far as gardening speaking. Sounds as if you're benefiting from getting more sunlight for the garden. Where as my changes down here was the reverse. Ughhh! Lot more shade, and no one moved in/out in the near vicinity. Just big trees that changes our landscape. I think I Iost some prized plants in the garden. Others, hubby decided, to take down because they were high maintenance ornamentals (especially roses), and we're getting older, can't quite keep up with 'em.

Jeanne, life could be hectic at times -- gardening hobby eased lots of my stressors that life sometimes brings. Hope you'll find time to share more pics. It's a pleasure watching photos from your garden.

Carolyn, have you got some buds showing yet up there?

Here comes 'Empress' in my semi-shade front yard.
