| Mother's Day bouquet; flowers fresh from the farms they grew on! |
 |
| For Mother's Day I treated myself to fresh starts for my hanging basket |
 |
| My herb barrel is still waiting to be properly filled... |
 |
| ...but the hostas (and astilbe) are finally starting to fill in their island bed |
 |
| At last, an accurate color capture of my purple iris! |
 |
| Simple beauty – and the promise of boysenberries to come |
 |
| In revisiting my marvelous white maple leaves... |
 |
| ...I happened upon this slimy fellow, no doubt enjoying his own smorgasbord. At least it's not a scary snake, like Mary Ann or Audrey have to deal with! |
 |
| Big-Fleece Bart (5lb4oz skirted!) has been babying his right front leg. :-( We checked him over and think it's just a strain, but ALL the sheep are dining at the hay smorgasbord in the fold for now so he can rest and heal. |

"It" does look like a snake! Hope Bart gets better and going to a smorgasbord is always a great meal!!
You take such wonderful flower photos..and umm....slug? photos? Is it a slug? Really quit handsome. Whatever it is, I don't think I've met one and I'm curious.
"It" is a Pacific banana slug, over 6" long. Slugs really creeped me out when we first moved to Oregon, but I've gotten used to them and don't mind them at all now – unless they are munching my plants.
I have never heard of the saying smorgasbord....interesting how some things are different like your snails look a lot bigger then ours and the color is different also : )I hope Barts leg feels better!
I think that they changed it to Buffet because so many people could not spell Smorgasbord, LOL. Great shots. Saw another snake this week, 3 ft. long and green, came in and checked the internet, Green Racer, he can stay, but now the skunk is another issue.
This is a lovely "Smorgasbord" of a post. Love the photos... especially the herb barrel that is still waiting to be properly filled...
I really relate to that. I have to get into the garden tomorrow and do some planting myself.
Hope Bart is OK. He looks so handsome in his "coat".
