(Not to be confused with actually fluffing… because, damn. That’s another blog entirely. )
The silver mounds are mounding nicely….
And the red geraniums you all told me to plant? Made the bulkhead doors look even more red…. so, yeah.
Day lilies are popping up among the peonies.
As well as in the shadow of the giant quince bush.
Not sure how that red fellow got in there.
Are there daylily postmen?
Begonias are begonia-ing.
And the lawn that never stops growing affords ample opportunity for the neighbors to test drive the husband’s new toy.
If only they wanted to take more than a few swipes, we could sit on the porch with an adult beverage and enjoy the summer….
River's world..... 
Sooo so envious. I tried to post a pic of my “backyard” for you to have a laugh at but found out I couldn’t add photos to comments 😞

Is there any reason they’re not a different colour? A nice deep green would blend in wondefully.

Our house is a creamy beige color with barn red doors and shutters. When we moved in the bulkhead doors were painted barn red as well which I’ve continued. Until now, when the red got out of hand.

It’s so far out of hand that you may as well not have any hands.

When I was through painting it I had very red hands… does that count?

Red hands and yet the red has got out of hand. This is like the start of a weird movie with a twist ending

Day lilies spread almost like weeds. I see them along ditches at the sides of roads all the time.

Sometimes. The ones on the side of our house are 15 years old and still the same size…

Beautiful flowers. I like your red doors. Do they go into your basement? I haven’t seen doors like those in years and I’m completely charmed.

Yes, bulkhead doors that I recently repainted a way too vibrant red!

I still think you should paint FIRE ENGINE COMPANY 56 on those doors. Then people would just think they were just a little retro.

The 2 “Yankee” blooms I miss the most in South Florida are peonies and lilacs–many years ago in both our Bronx and Lake Hiawatha homes our gardens flourished with them!! For some reason—could it be the heat?–they don’t grow down here!!

I’d say that’s a good guess. But we don’t have crepe myrtles due to the cold.

As to the postmen, there must be because I didn’t plant that orange bastard!
