in POO-ville!
Alexis is here visiting today and one of her favorite things to do is play in the garden and see the fish. But since the grackles have turned the garden to poo-ville, the extra fertilizer has the pond in a full fledged algae bloom making it hard to see any fish and finding a clean place to walk is hazardous! The Princess looks disgusted with all the poo...
until she finds a stick and starts scraping some of it away...
while Hershey supervises.
With all that poo...the stick needed frequent washing.
These two friends had a great time!
Finally, she had enough of the pooey mess and we went to the much cleaner looking front yard...
where we took time to stop and smell the flowers...
and beautify the birdbath with petals.
Today's blossoms are still covered with this morning's raindrops...the iris...
the pink Tinkerbelle lilac...
the fern peony...
a giant allium...
and the last of the
tulips!

Poovile looks beautiful despite the paint! Very funny post!
What a sweetheart! I can imagine her disgust with Poo-ville :) Adorable photos of her, Marsha!
Lovely post, Marsha ...Alexis is too cute, looks like 4 going on 6 or 7. :) I love the big smile on her face with Hershey ... two little girls having fun.
It's wonderful how you captured the iris with the morning raindrops still on them. All the flower pics are gorgeous.
What a beautiful child! The flowers aren't bad either.
Alexis is precious! Hershey looks like he is enjoying his energetic new playmate. I love the raindrops on your iris..I'm heading to my garden to see if I have any blooms.
Such a nice post Marsha! I loved seeing Alexis and your commentary! She is getting to be a big girl now. I'm sure she loves coming to your garden.....it is so lovely!
Adorable little pond and garden, and the princess! Love your bearded iris. What a special little place you have.
