Bonnie,Thanks so much for the ribbon I loved the thought.

Bonnie,I thoroughly enjoyed each of your pics. What in the world is that gorgeous huge flowering bush you are standing behind.I've never seen one and I love it. The albino squirrel and all the different species of birds you have so many beauties How blessed you are and I also loved your birdhouses and garden statues.

Bonnie, since you and I are in the same zone and probably have the same glacial till soil, tell me - what plants do best in your yard, specifically in part sun, if that is your environment? My best performing plants are some natives: black eyed susans, actea, ninebark, spiderwort, obedience plant, false solomon's seal; and some exotics: hostas, hostas, hostas! Plus, sedum - it really does do well in part sun - geraniums of most types, siberium irises, um . . .  can't think of more now. How about you?

Bonnie, your photos are awesome. I LOVE that albino squirrel!!!

Wow, Bonnie. That white Tree Peony is spectacular. And the white Hydrangea, oh that is lovely. What cultivar is it? Would you mind telling me. I hadn't heard back from you, I hope my other post didn't put you off. I really like to get to know folks as much as is possible online. I only have Facebook and this site. I have never played a game on my laptop, & I only go to blogs if it is research for my health challenges. Gardening and wildlife and taking care of the Earth are what I have passion for now that my children are long grown. Last season was the first that I was able to really get into my veg. and herb garden since my Daughter, DeAnna died. I hope all is well over your way, Sunny days ahead, Marian
