Here's what's caught my eye in the front garden this spring...

When the clematis started climbing, I decided to train it on a garden shepherd's hook instead of the lamp post like every other year. I was curious to see how the vine would look with a lovely small chime close to it. It's been delightful!

And this Bells of Vienna 29-inch wind chime (the 206 model) looks just right —the black is surrounded by green—a cool visual in the midst of a very hot season.  I only wish these muggy DC days hadn't wilted the blooms so quickly (I missed my photo op!)
