Garden Bloggers Bloom Day May 2011

I owe the garden blogging community a couple of apologies. 

First, I was tardy.  Garden Bloggers Bloom Day was yesterday.  I hate being late.  It's tough, though, when the 15th falls on a weekend, since since the last place you'll find me on a Saturday or Sunday is on my computer.  

I  know, excuses, excuses.

Second, I need to apologize for the lack of diversity my post.  You see, I suffer from an incurable affliction that I succumb to once a year.  It is known as Lilac Blindness.  It's the result of being born & raised in Lombard, Illinois, which, in case you didn't know, is The Lilac Capital of the World.

Yeah, yeah, there's other stuff blooming in the garden right now, but none of that matters.

The lilacs are blooming.

You can take the girl out of Lombard, but you can't take the Lombard out of the girl.

Yours truly-

Makin' Me Look Bad

Hmm.

Someone is making me look bad.

I thought we had a deal-- I give you plenty of fun places in the yard to play, and in turn, you help me to show the world how all y'all are the world's best, most well-behaved garden dogs.

What the hey is that going on over there-- behind the rhodey, behind the rain barrel?

Odd, I don't remember displacing a large volume of dirt...

At least whoever did it had the courtesy to spare the hostas.

Well, now, that's some pretty damning evidence.

I can now scratch my hubby off the list of possible suspects.

Looks like I'm going to have to interrogate the troops.

"What? No, mom, sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

Kid, you're lucky you're so damn cute, and that you gave me a really awesome Mother's Day present yesterday (but more on that later).

Yours truly-
