Stop and Look 365Day 218     My yard is starting to come alive with blooms.  I really do enjoy looking at flowers. especially when they pop up from the ground.  My garden is a cottage garden because it is not formal and structured. To some, this might look like weeds. But they are flowers that bloom at different times throughout the summer. It starts off with daffodils,  then tulips and irises. Day lilies, black eye susan’s and phlox also start blooming in late July.  Oh, and my son plants over 50 zinnias every year for cuttings. The birds help too with planting crocuses, violets, and daffodils. This is a magical space for me. Do you have a place that makes you smile? If not, make one. It does not need to be grand. Just inspire and make you happy.
