We all know that I haven't been stamping lately, so what have I been up to? Well, lots of stuff, but the most fun has been in the garden. This is some of my late blooming tulips. The rest of the tulips have come and gone weeks ago, but these guys continue to brighten my garden.
This is my little fledgling vegetable garden. I did trim the grass around it after I took the picture. I planted two different kind of peas, beets, lettuce, carrots, spinach and two kinds of squash. The onions are from last year. They froze and were quite soft, but then started to grow again so I transplanted them so they weren't willy nilly in my garden. Not sure how well they will do. They are actually going to seed and I'm considering leaving them go for the seeds just in case they don't produce good onions. I have to have my marigolds at the end since that is the end that faces the road.
We had the roads paved in the community last week and had to get some topsoil to fill in a ditch and just happened to get several yards more than what was needed, so I completed this flower bed on the side of the house that I've been working on for two years. It started on the far end around the rock, then last year I dug up the sod and brought in topsoil and now it is all the way and I am so happy with it. It will look much better when my little annuals bloom and I get a few perenials in there too. 
I scavenged the driftwood from a lot that was vacated, and the strawberry pots with sedum's I started last year and are doing nicely.
I didn't start the fuschia plant by myself, I bought it and another one last week. I do have several other baskets that I started but they are still babies. I will photograph them when they get larger and prettier. Today I bought some pretty double pink ivy geranium and can't wait to get them planted. All my annuals are planted at the entrance and I'm having a time keeping them watered, as I haven't set up anything yet, so I have to haul water by the two gallon watering can, and that is a pain!
