Our magic garden

It seems that our yard is always in bloom. A couple of weeks after we moved to our new home, plants began to sprout out of the ground everwhete. First came the daffodils. Then peonies a bloomed few weeks later. They were beautiful shades of pinks and reds. And then a type of flower we have never seen before grew and grew and grew. A lot of them ended up being a taller than Kourtney and some taller than Alyson. The flowers have big round ball looking flowers that turn into the most colorful dandy lion-looking seeds when they go to seed. You can see a picture of Keegan standing in front of a lilly still yet to bloom. Then we had beautiful lilies sprouting out of the ground too. It was during one of these weeks that a man walking past our home approached Kris while we were outside. He told Kris that he called our house the Magic Garden because he never knew what kind of flowers would be sprouting up next. To be completely honest, we never know what we are going to get either! The previous homeowner planted bulbs all over the place. He even told us so but couldn't remember what kinds he had planted. We are very grateful for the beauty he left us. Here are a few pictures of my favorite lilies and dafffodils. Hope you enjoy.
