jennlkthe rose and the peonies are blooming. The pale pink peonies aren't blooming yet, but they're usually a bit behind the other ones.
The irises are quite pretty this year -- the white ones have come and gone, but now there's peachy-salmon and velvety purple. There are three separate stands of california poppy in the E garden, all different shades of orange. By the end of the summer there will be more stands of poppies in more different colors -- we often have everything from a deep orange to ivory by August. The oriental lilies in the garden are budding nicely, and there's a couple of larkspur plants blooming.
The giant alliums in the garden by the door have bloomed and died so now there's seed-balls-on-sticks out there; and some much smaller ones just budding.
The PT says that the knots in the muscles around my shoulder are getting better and that it's in better alignment, but in order to do that she's been really pushing and pulling on it, so right now it feels worse than it did before I moved chairs. :( It will get better, I know, and doing this now should make it more stable, but I hate this stage.
J put a new lamp by the side door. I like the style of it, and the way it casts light (down), but it's too bright, which can't be changed as it's an LED lamp. I don't need or want daylight levels of lighting in the driveway at night -- I want enough light that I can see the steps, anything more than that is too much of a muchness. There are two more lamps in the garage which will go up on the garage when he finishes the third bay.
