Dori, what wonderful pics! what beautiful gardens!! I don't know what I like best. the closeup of the lupines..the peachy-pink ones..I love those. the face on your scarescrow is adorable. I want to plant everything you have. of course, I don't have that much space. how big is your garden? (you've probably already said, but I've gotten confused)

Just be careful it can make you go crazy!! You cant stop gardening-look at the inside of my house! ;)
this was for my BD in May!!

well thats it for May and cottage garden shots-i have lots of single flower shots! :)

Thanks for sharing the beauty of your garden with us. Everytime I see your garden, I love it more. It's so fun to see how fast things change from bare to lush in just a few weeks time. That hammock between the trees must be a perfect place to enjoy it.
