Irises.
The Camerons several types of lilacs, including this one and one with larger petals and clusters.
Lily of the valley.
Pots, a light, and mower wheel by the back deck. The wheel is from a early 1900s mower from Colette’s family’s farm. The garden has a variety of pots, beds, a vegetable garden, and a greenhouse. Colette inherited the greenhouse from her mother.
Skunks in the front yard. Colette enjoys watching kids on the nearby path notice the skunks and point them out.
