A friend requested "more, please!" after my last posting about life reasserting itself in the garden upon the arrival of spring (this one's for you, JB ;) and now that we're halfway through the season, life has certainly reasserted itself with a vengeance.
A bamboo grew four feet tall in one week and other plants are working hard to keep pace. The hummingbirds consume the contents of the nectar feeder faster than my daughter's weighty truck swallows gasoline. Chickadees snatch every bit of fluff shed by the dog. Buttercups threaten to engulf the house.
Here's a few pix. Planning to spend as much time this weekend in the garden as possible, as long as the sun's out!

| Wild columbine, or at least the back of one. These beautiful little flowers bashfully hold their heads down and don't look up til the last minute. |
