Spring Is Here!!! And I For One Am Loving It!!!
And soon... everything will be coming up roses!!!
Well, now that is a stretch but everything is coming up, that's for sure!
Mostly just everyday life!
But just take a look around you! It's right there in all of our own back yards!
The beauty of Springtime!
The Roses, the Jasmine, the Day Lilies, the Dogwood trees, etc....
Aren't these climbing roses beautiful! These are actually in Brad's grandmother's yard...lovingly planted by Coach Walker...an avid gardener! I sure could've learned a lot from him! About a lot of things!
I just love his gardens...
And Easter is just around the corner! What a glorious reason to celebrate and trust in God's provisions for us!
There is really nothing prettier than any "climbing" flower in my opinion!
Especially my Cecile Brunner roses! I planted them ages ago and won't even re-paint our garden shed for fear of losing them!
And look at these snapdragons! They just make me happy!
The Dogwood is the ultimate symbol of Spring to me!
I love the fact that I actually do have perennials and that I'm learning what to do with them!
Oh, and then there are my fig trees! I'm definitely still learning about them!
Maybe one day I can make fig preserves! We shall see!
Love this one, lonely rose! It's trying so hard to bloom!
Reminds me of the saying, "Bloom where you are planted!"
Just like my hydrangeas that are struggling to come out of hibernation!
And our Lenten Roses! A breath of fresh air after a long season of nothingness!
And yes, I snuck this photo from my across the street neighbor's yard! Isn't it pretty?
And here we go...finishing on this note! Spring time is to me what chocolate is to a lot of women! It's the time that I get to begin dreaming of my perfect garden! "One day"....that's what I always say to sweet Jim! "One day...I want the perfect garden!" What I've never realized until recently is that what I really want...is the perfect gardener! I love the look of a perfect garden!!! Who doesn't?
Last year we dealt with this pesky little rabbit if you will remember!
Hopefully he will have moved on to another neighbor's yard this spring...but I doubt it! We shall see! For now I will still dream...and dream big!!! There is nothing wrong with that!!!!
Here is my dream garden!
Or should I say, "Dream Gardens"!
Enjoy!
Maybe this year we will have something to show for it!!!
Thankfully last year we at least had a few Zinnias!
And a few Tomatoes!
No matter! Spring is a wonderful breath of fresh air to me! I hope it is to you as well!
Happy planting! and enjoy every minute of God's beautiful creation...Spring Time!
