I went back to Boston this weekend for my friend Lindsey’s bachelorette party and bridal shower. I don’t have any pictures of the shower, but I do have several shots of the bachelorette party, where there were many kinds of shots taken.
I would like to clarify that there were no guns involved.

Here is Miss Lindsey modeling her Minnie Mouse veil. She’s going to Disney on her honeymoon.

And this is how I snuck all of the food and decorations into the hotel. They didn’t suspect a thing. Ha.

I think it’s safe to say that no one went hungry.
Everyone survived the evening, so all in all, I think it was a success and Lindsey seemed to enjoy herself as the second photo in this post confirms.
Even though it was a short trip, I did get to spend some time at home with my parents. Almost one month had passed since I moved to Tennessee and what a difference that month made in the yard. All of the trees were filled out and my garden had grown up considerably from my first pass through the yard at the end of March.

The rock wall bed is looking very green and fluffy (to use official horticultural terms), but no colorful blooms yet…

But don’t worry, there are a few things blooming back by the hammock!
(I’m sure you were worried sick).

I was nervous about my bleeding hearts coming back this year. They kind of looked a little bit dead as they lay helplessly on the ground last summer. They sure had me fooled! Little tricksters…

PEONIES! I’m sad I will miss these in bloom. They’re so pretty and fuchsia-y. I might add that they are doing a good job of holding themselves up.

Here’s a look back at the big rock wall from the edge of the patio. This bed on the left is a little behind. It has lilies and black-eyed susans that need some warmer weather to give them a boost. I should send them some 90 degree days from Nashville because I have some to spare.

Blue fescue! My dad thinks it’s hilarious that I have these balls of grass in my garden. Over the past few years, he has on several occasions asked me if I realize that there is already a lot of blue fescue in the lawn. I tell him that this is different and thus warrants being in the garden. I was usually saying this while digging up little clumps of grass that showed up in my garden uninvited.

Another bleeding heart that had me concerned last summer. Purty.

Here’s a look at the peninsula opposite the main rock wall. Still looking a little patchy, but it’s early..

Here’s the view from the driveway. See that big tree on the right with the sunlight shining on it? Well, the top of it croaked during hurricane Irene last summer. Somehow, when it fell, it only killed one of my plants because my little rock wall to the left broke its fall. This was good news that there were almost no plant casualties; however, the great news is that my shade garden has become a sun garden!
I realize it doesn’t look so sunny in this photo, but it was taken late in the afternoon.

Azaleas in the front yahhhd. I need more of this color in my life.

And here’s a look at my bountiful garden at my apartment in Tennessee. Very similar to the garden in Boston, don’t you think?
Y’all come back,
Sugarlump
