At first, I ran down to the Eskimo Viburnum; Ammy told me she had seen Oswald Lapin run out from under them and into the neighbors' yard. Wow, did I have fun exploring in there, but then for some odd reason, Mom hooked me up to the 30-foot long leash (once she caught me ... ha roo roo roo!) and made me trail that behind me. She wasn't holding it or anything, but that's our reminder to behave. I'm not sure why it works, but it does. I decided to check the middle tier instead.
"Yep, looks like Mom and Dad pruned the Spirea and the ornamental grasses..."
Zimmle Mawson, Explorer Pup!
I walked around that tier and didn't find anything blooming, so I went over to the north-west corner.
"Oh, yeah! This is more like it!"
It's some of our Texas Quince! (We have that all over the place!) I just had to sit there and admire its beauty. Can you feel the Zen of Zim? Would you like a couple close-ups? Here you go, garden enthusiasts!
Look at all that RED! I had to go in for a close-up myself!
"Oh, YEAH! Deeeee-licious!"
"...err... I mean 'beautiful'! Smell nice, too.
What's that, Mom? Time to go in already? Time sure flies in the garden!"
Hope you enjoyed today's garden tour with me! We'll keep you posted on what's blooming as the season progresses!
Play bows,
Zim
Dear Zim
ReplyDeleteas we bark here in the UK, those pics are "bloomin' wonderful".
I enjoyed the trip around your garden with you very much, although sorry to read at the end you have "flies" in your garden.
And a Thirty Foot leash, does the leash belong to a Centipede or a Millipede?
Oh I am crying with "tiers" of laughter at my silly jokes there.
Seriously, your garden is so beautiful, really lovely. We have a quince, but your spring must be more advanced than ours, because our quince still has no leaves.
Spring is sure late this year up here in the frozzzzzen north.
love and licks, Marvin xxxxx
in fact, you could remark about our quince......
ReplyDelete"Our Quince is no Prince"
dearie me, I am totally exhausted now, must go for a snooze my brain will be worn out!
You had us worried about that whole behaving Siberian thing until the taste test came along. We were worried about you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour Zim!! We've never seen those flowers before, but they sure are purty!! Moms says she might have to check some of those out!
ReplyDeleteWoofs and Kisses!

You have such a gorgeous yard, Zim. Can I bring Marge over to play? You can entertain her while I look at all the pretty gardens.
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers! :) I just love looking around your garden!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the quince tasted great! :) The only thing I get to taste in my yard is grass.

Thanks for the tour Zim; dont tell anyone but I sometimes eat flowers, when no one is looking. They also get stuck in my fur when I chase Flash.

Your red flowers are very pretty Zim but of course we love red heads too! What happens when you aren't on your leash? It doesn't look like you can get out of your yard so we're just wondering what kind of trouble, er we mean fun you can get into.
