Well, fir the first time in the last 20 years, because of the move to Luray, I won't have a veggie garden this year... sniff...

But it has been a coolish spring here in the Shenandoah Valley and we still have several late blooming azaleas just blooming which is nice. Usually the late bloomers would be just about done by now... Meanwhile, everyday another iris blooms...

The Rhodos are hanging in there nicely. This has been a good year for them. Everywhere we drive we see other folks Rhodos doing very well, as well...

As fir snails (slugs), I hate's 'um almost as much as I hates voles....

Oh, speakin' of varments... The danged deer came by and ate a nice native hydranda we have out on the road... They usually don't mess with them but I reckon this deer just hadn't gotten a rule book...
