Late Spring Blossoms

At Camp Clark, we LOVE colorful flowers and our rose bushes and peonies are in full bloom and are simply breathtaking. Too bad the peonies don't last a few months versus a few weeks. So I just had to capture their beauty on a few pics (see below).

Rose bushes smell so fragrant

Last year we participated in a CSA (community supported agriculture) and received more veggies than we even knew existed and more than we could possibly consume for a pretty price. So this year we decided to plant our own "organic" garden. This past weekend, our junior gardeners helped "The Thumb" (Dave's nickname for me since I am not exactly Martha Stuart) get all our veggies and fruits planted in our garden in the backyard. With a little TLC and a little luck from above, we are in for a BIG harvest come mid-summer (cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, peas, brocolli, brussel sprouts, zuchini, carrots, watermelon, cantaloupe and peppers). Let's hope the varmints (moles) don't have a smorgasbord this year like 2 years ago; I will be on watch with my beebee gun close at my side!!!
