I told you I'm a sucker for this time of year, so bear with me as I share more pictures of our flowers blooming. Our weeping cherry. We used to have two that would form a canopy above you as you walked down the path to our back door.

Hooray!  Here's a little garden inspiration to fill up your Friday!  Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island   C...
