The bleeding hearts around this stone are so lush.

Though we didn’t have a lot of lilac blooms, the ones we did have were gorgeous. It was so strange. I saw a bloom on the ground and thought it had somehow dropped from the bush. But no, it was growing directing out of the ground without a stem. Never heard of such a thing and didn’t find anything about it online as to why that would happen.

We had a true spring this year – lots of rain and cool temps. Today and tomorrow are in the 80’s  and then we go back to the 70’s for several days. So nice to be outside!
