Spring Snowballs

These are my kind of snowball.

It is my favorite season of all.

I know I post too many pictures of them, but it is a very short season.

I have them planted in almost every garden.

This bush has baby shoots underneath that need to be dug out.

I will move them to a new garden and water them good for the rest of the summer.

This crazy bush is in need of a good trim.

After the blooms are done, of course.

 I also have to trim some of the clematis vines from it. 

They hang to the ground, they are so big and fluffy.

Of course, you can't have a snowball bush without the spirea bushes.

This bush we can see from our kitchen window.

Hard to believe I gave it a hardy trim last year.

Like the snowball bush this is another viburnum bush, I love the hydrangea look it has to it.

Anyone in for a snowball fight?

I am joining Tracy from Fishtail Cottage for a Garden Party.  

If you have not visited her gardens yet, you must, they are a sight to behold.

And, I am joining Courtney at French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.  

No one feathers their nest like Courtney!

It has been a while, I am also joining Cindy from My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Snowball Fight Anyone?

My youngest son can't wait to have a snowball fight with my spring snowballs.

I have to say these bushes are one of my favorites.

I have them planted all around the house.

I have been lucky to have low branches root themselves into smaller bushes.

I let them grow for a few years untouched, then they are dug out and put into a new garden.

These bushes were transplants to newer gardens when we built our addition 4 years ago.

This big bush is outside our kitchen window.

Behind the large snowball bush is the back deck.  

They provide great privacy.

Here are two large snowball bushes on the East side of the house.

This big beautiful mass of white flowers is a bridal spirea bush.

These are probably my favorite bush.

I have these bushes planted all around the house.

They are in need of a trim, I can't do it until after we enjoy the flowers.

There is some of that hot pink I am planting in my pots this year.

I am almost done planting the pots on the back deck.

These are pictures of the front yard gardens.

The arbor will soon be covered in pink and white roses.

Just look at that sky. 

I was able to get these pictures taken just before the rain and lightning came.

This is a good picture to show you how the snow ball bushes and spirea bushes are around the house.

It still amazes me when I look at pictures of the gardens.

There was nothing here but farm land 16 years ago.

We did this.

I planted these gardens and trees.

This picture is from the front yard standing next to the willow tree.

Such a long driveway, sometimes I wonder what we were thinking.

So, can I interest anyone in a spring snowball fight?

Snow Balls

It is prime snow ball season here.

and

I thought I LOST MY CAMERA!

I had been searching the house and gardens for the past three days looking for it.

Thank goodness, as of this very morning it is now back in my posession.
I did what any blogger would do and wandered around Arbor House Lane gardens.

Taking lots of photos of my gardens, before I headed off to baseball of course.

My Snow ball bushes are just beautiful this year.
Many of the bushes are just packed with fluffy white snowballs.

Almost all of the winding paths will have a snow ball bush.

This Viburnum is also loaded white white flowers.

I think this is the prettiest I have seen it.

The flowers remind me of a lace cap Hydrangea.

As you can see Mr. Mittens is still letting himself out daily and enjoying it very much.

This is the arbor that leads to our front door.

Both sides are covered in wild white roses, an autumn clematis and pink fairy roses.

In the next couple of weeks it should be an amazing site.

Snow on the mountain to go with my snowballs.

This little snow ball bush is a transplant from one of the larger bushes.

I let them under root for a couple of years and then transplant them. 

This is the flower bed you see first when you drive in the driveway. 

I just clean out overgrown ivy and I am ready to put in a few annuals and then mulch.

Sooooo fluffy!

A garden angel.

Snow ball bushes on the side of the house.

More in the back.

Just to show you, it really is not all white at my home and gardens.

These are some after Easter discounted hydrangeas I bought at Home Depot and planted in my little wagon.

Thanks for stopping by to see some of my gardens.
Now git and enjoy Spring before I throw a snow ball at you!

I am sharing my gardens with Tracie from Fishtail Cottage for Cottage Garden Party.
Stop by and visit the beautiful gardens.
