   I love that unmown lawn with wildflowers and old cherry tree. Every time I look at that photo I feel wistful, and now I know why. It is the "perfect spot" of my childhood dream of where I would land after flying all night! (I still love to have those wonderful flying dreams...)

   Thrilled to see Narcissus ' Hawera ' in someone else's garden- love? Also, Tradescantia ' Sweet Kate ' is another real performer for me and the chertreuse color amazingly goes with everything. Hoo-ahh!

   Hi, neighbor! As you may know I am a big fan of primroses, and yours are so beautiful! Some day can I come and admire it with my own eyes?..

   I love it. I also like seeing the garden behind a daily commentator. Do you know what wildflowers grow in front of that old tree? It's a "spring garden" in the British tradition. No need to apologize for not mowing; mowing would ruin the lovely effect there.

    What lovely Spring photos of your gardens. I too, love the unmown lawn photo. So inviting and relaxing. Also, I like the stone walls for background and structure. The swath of For-Get-Me-Nots is especially beautiful.

    Carla, your garden is so alive with joyful and generous colors and plant combinations. I was an incorrigible tomboy growing up and seeing your daughter in the quince tree definitely struck a memory chord! Love your sea of forget-me-nots...they are such a unique shade of blue...makes me think of robin's eggs.

    Good morning everyone. It is always such an honor and so exciting to see my garden here. Thank you all for the encouraging words. It keeps me striving to make the garden better. Michelle, Miyako, tntreeman, and anyone else who makes it to CT is welcome. Just give me a few hours notice, as the inside of the house suffers this time of year. There is so much to do and i am the only gardener. At any given time, I am sure I have a sink full of dishes and a mountain of toys to pick up. Oh, heck with the dishes, come over anytime. The stone walls seem to be a hit. I can't take credit for them. They were here long before me. The property dates back to the 1800's( although the house was rebuilt in 1934). It was a farm owned by the Bennett family. One of their relatives still lives on the street and has shown me some great photos of when cows were wandering the front yard. Two pieces of the Bennett's silverware from 1888 were dug up in the garden. The Bennett's tombstones lay against one of the garden's stone walls. I have dug up some old cow bones and worried I have dug up the Bennett's. No pun intended, the stone walls give the garden great bones. When my husband and I were looking for a house, 8 years ago, I was looking for a place where I could garden to my heart's content. We could have bought a brand new house for the money, but this place spoke to us. It sounds like bethiniowa understands that sentiment. That old cherry tree area is great little nook. There is a cedar bench hiding under the lilac branches. I think the wildflowers are creeping veronica, but I have never verified that. Briandowns, I too love Hawera daffs. The catalog I purchased them from, described them as elfin. They are just so darn cute in person. The forget-me -nots have self sown nicely. Some may consider them a nuisance, but they pull out so easily from where you don't want them. I am considering more self sowers.

    What a beautiful spring garden (and all year)! I love your stone wall and accents and the drifts of forget-me-nots. Beautiful combinations. The old cherry tree is art and love the wild lawn. I feel lucky that I just scored an Epimedium at the Syracuse Farmers Market.

    Good morning meander1. You are still playing in the dirt. I think that tomboy is still in you. This is a great yard for kids (big ones and little ones). Thanks tractor1. You two snuck in while I was blabbing on.

    Thank you thevioletfern. Enjoy that epimedium! In the middle of all the work that needs to be done in the garden, there are all these great plant sales going on. There are not enough hours in the day.

    Amen to your unmown lawn Carla, last year I did not mow the right half of my back yard.....the grass grew tall and I loved seeing it sway in the wind. :) Made me feel I was out in the wild somewhere.

    I love your gardens! Thanks Michelle for the old links. I got to see it for the first time in three different seasons. What a treat! We now want pictures of the roses in bloom and the hostas wide open!
    Great garden! Keep up the good work!

    Carla, your gardens speak volumes about the loving care you put into them. I'm sure the Bennett's are pretty happy to be covered with such beauty! ;)

    cwheat i love your garden and i love your commentary. you gotta be a lot fo fun in person......question,,, why are their tombstones in your garden and leaning against the fence?

    Carolkxxx- I bet the tall grass in your backyard looked cool. Maybe we can start a lazy mower's trend here. Just yesterday I took a picture of another poorly mowed section of my yard. I'll send in some more pictures. Hopefully, you aren't all sick of seeing my garden. Dsbaloi- thanks so much and I will send some summer pics. Sheila _Schultz - your words are so kind and the picture next to your name is amazing. If you have the time I hope you are joining the Fine Gardening container contest. Tntreeman, I really don't know where the Bennett's tombstones belong. I found them against the west stone wall in the garden and I have left them there. I hope wherever they are buried, it is six feet under, because I do a lot of digging. I hope Sheila is right and the Bennett's like what I have done. No bad ghost action yet.

    Rare and strange: with a rare name (usually blue, but at the same time may also be gold elite), it is difficult to find, but to get rid of, there is often a special surprise, because fixed and affixes equipment, regardless of the blue-loaded or yellow equipment, are to the edge, in fact, is the best SP produced strange fortune depends on it.
    Open the list of your accomplishments, an achievement which lists the most rare and strange, but not all!
    In addition, rare and strange fall the best equipment is not 100% drop, but if you want, you could do nothing but find them, rs gold because they can. If you encounter, but you can not beat , please hurry to invite your friends list into your game together to engage it, and to drop more than a goodly portion of luck, but also a way of getting money to the Friends of the base!
    Daobao Wizard: Drop equipped with everything falling energy saving in this chapter, in addition to rare and strange part of falling!
    Drop the game settings, through research nethack (known as the originator of the Diablo setting items randomly drop) settings, blade and soul gold in fact, a setting is as follows:
    Rare and strange list of rare and strange list: this figure may be possible, each unique drop list of rare and strange, usually the main producing strange Need rings and necklaces;
    Blue strange list: this picture ordinary strange, it may appear strange blue, just blue strange installed it must be out of the blue, drop list is the list of the world fall in each of the sections that, that does not beyond the the chapter drop the other chapters will be out equipment. (FARM A1 friend Note, A4 was a good blue-loaded, drag a drag the corpse into the A4.)
    3 golden elite list: mainly wow gold used to increase this figure a bit of a challenge and entertainment, to be honest, not farm their significance, and this strange basically impossible to be done FARM their fall list and blue The strange world drop, as limited by chapter, but the yellow loading a relatively high probability it wants.
    So, I'll give you advice:
    Careful and meticulous to a certain figure, the difficulty is not great, you can complete single FARM again, all the blame, all the stones, all the local touch it again, and then reset it again, and so forth NNNN times and times, you can put this figure there might be rare and strange touch, we also know this "specialty".
    Another supplement on suits and legendary equipment drop set: part of the world falling, broken jar and trash mobs and the like can be a goodly portion of luck, but the mobs die so much, the opportunity is always there; portion of the fixed BOSS out drop, multi-brush it, the opportunity is always there, after all, is fixed drop FARM when a lot of bad street but in the end is inevitable; part fall by rare and strange, the same can not be met seeking to encourage you and diligent traveled to every corner of the map; also part of falling exists only in the advanced chest, face.
    About rare and strange location: each figure with surface and underground (cave) in two parts, this strange wandering the entire surface of each figure, that might be buried in the ground, but mainly present in the underground; each figure has a fixed number of underground cave spawn points, and each picture to refresh the total number of points is fixed, but each time the refresh only a few points, to refresh a few point and which point to refresh are random; Members diligent little more effort, run a race map, summarize the law, there will always be the outcome! ! ! ! !
    Random number paradox: while the computer is set between 1-100 random samples of any single chance, from long statistical point of view, are the same, but in a short period of time during the actual operation, you extracted to a 1 and 100 chance is very small; the improved random numbers, often using double-random number divided by the ratio rounded, for example, taken from 1-100 where two duplicate number, and then divided by 2 rounded .
    Refer to the above extract random set model of random numbers, each picture looks much spawn points, but a subset of locations and 1 or 100 is actually more difficult to be able to get from another point of view, mean that other spawn points easily be able to get refreshed, this rule can be found by summing.
    My last most important conclusion: Some rare and strange appears only in the rare spawn points, this setting is also normal, everyone can sum up, there is always the law to be investigated!
