Set 05 of My Early Springtime Favorites
Bob Jensen at Trinity University 

Emily Dickinson was known in her own time as a naturalist and botanist.
Her gardens provided her with tropes, narratives, and imagery ---
"The Lost Gardens of Emily Dickenson,"  Faris Jabr, The New York Times, May 18, 2016

My newly-planted flowers are shivering at six degrees above freezing
The furnace is running as I commence this in the early morning of June 9, 2016
Where's the global warming I keep hearing about?
This is the coldest springtime I can remember in these mountains
But the phlox and the lilacs bloomed and faded on schedule
The wild roses are commencing to bloom
And I have my three gardens of New Guinea Impatiens planted
 

This how our bird house complex looked in June 2016

This is how these bird houses looked in June 2015

This is how these bird houses looked in June 2014

These were our wild roses along the road in Spring 2015 (this picture was taken by my friend Wes Lavin)

These are the wild roses in Spring 2016

This is the chipper that I use to get rid of limbs that fall in our grove
And cuttings when I prune the wild and domestic roses

This is an early springtime shot in the back yard looking west across the golf course

These were some of our Rock Garden phlox in late May 2016

This was the Rock Garden in May 2015

This was the our Pond Garden in June 2015
I plant large New Gunea Impatiens in early June every year
This is expensive but these plants bloom continuously until the first freeze of October

This is our Pond Garden in June 2016

The domestic roses won't bloom until July
The grove in the background separates our mowed lawn from our wildflower field

This shot was take a bit later when the Pond Garden lilacs bloomed

These are the even stronger-smelling French lilacs bushes in the front of the cottage

In the front I planted this Japanese maple tree about three years ago

 

This is our Polka Wegilia bush in bloom in the Pond Garden

The Sugar Hill area is known for maple syrup, lupine, and iris
This is an iris blooming in our Pond Garden

Butterflies love our flowers

This is bird poop on the pump beside the Pond Garden
The pump is for looks and is not used for water

The lupine commencing to bloom in our wildflower field on June 5

This is an old maple tree in our wildflower field that split about three years ago
This split has not yet killed the tree
