Finally, warm spring days. May sweet May. Much to do in the garden. I caught this Pennyhopper in the garden. I told Penny I caught a bug and put it in a jar so it couldn't get away. I am a magpie and save all sorts of things. Bug wings, dried bugs, mini spaceman, bones - lots of things. I've made one of these for all the grandkids. This Pennyhopper is sitting on a chunk of amethyst, her birthstone.
She's holding dried lavender and has a little parakeet egg is in her basket. Ladybirds are on the wood around the back. She was quite enamored.
As I said I love May and so look forward to the flowers and warm weather. My iris are blooming and the peonies are in bud and about to burst forth. I need to re-pot some citrus and plant many annuals. I can't wait to see it all. But, with the sublime comes Mother Nature at her worst. Tornadoes in Oklahoma are most prolific in May and tomorrow might be a real lulu. I am almost more afraid of large hail as it just beats the plants down. I've never personally seen hail larger than a quarter, but have heard of it the size of grapefruit. Tomorrow will tell.
When the wind blows mightily on the days in question, you know somewhere is going to get it. Hope it's not here. I'm not going to plant my hydrangea plants until after tomorrow. Will have my truck in the garage, so it won't be damaged. Fingers crossed.
