April Showers Bring May Flowers

It was another very successful weekend! We pick Clyde up to come home with us on the 29th, so we are getting the yard ready for him. We did relax a bit too.

On Saturday we went downtown to watch the Dragon Boat races. Many teams from around the state get together to race for their cause. It quite competitive and really fun to watch.

This structure was made out of metal and had moss dripping from it...very lie like!



Here is one of the races. My husband's parents had a friend in the race. Her team did great, but of course was beaten by one of the gyms in the area. Not fair...right?



We are planting a bed at a time, so this weekend we got the hydrangea and these little bushes with their pretty purple flowers. Everything should grow in quite a bit. I am really looking forward to having beautiful hydrangea blossoms this summer!



My bougainvillea is looking great! I can't wait for the day that is covers this entire ugly side of the shed.



I planted this vine a long time ago. My mom rooted it for me back in the Fall. It must love summer time, because it is shooting up like a rocket these days!



It has also started to bloom!



Finally, I woke up this morning to find my first gardenia blossom of the year!! I am SO excited! I have been waiting for these to blossom for weeks. Lots of buds all over our 3 bushes, but this is the first one we have seen. The smell is incredible.



Can't wait for the whole bush to be covered in them. I hope you all had a nice weekend as well!
