SPRING WILL COME

 My Northern friends are covered in several feet of snow. Makes me almost feel guilty over our spring-like temperatures. But still the garden is brown and the pots are empty. I haven't made it to the garden center yet so I'll post some previous spring pictures. I hope you enjoy them.




Just to ease your mind, it IS coming. One day we'll look up and see a green haze as the leaves are breaking through. Then we get to deal with the pollen. You gotta have it, but I do dread it. I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Keep warm and take care.

  2. Those were one of my gram's most fave flowers. She had many and was a natural green thumb, those though she LOVED. I do too. The smell is wonderful. Happy Spring!

    1. You're right, the smell is wonderful, I had forgotten that! They are my favorite spring bulb. I can't wait for mine to bloom. I see them peeking through the leaf litter. Won't be long! Have a great weekend!

  5. Love the pictures. It lets me see how many flower varieties that you have. And I know since you're fighting the deer like me, you have to make careful choices. We had hail storm yesterday afternoon immediately followed by freezing rain. I'll be lucky to skate out to the bird feeders and back this morning.

    1. Lynn, I laughed out loud picturing you skating out to feed the birds. What a dedicated soul! I think the deer don't eat the hyacinths, at least, they never have mine, thank goodness. Have a great day, keep warm and upright :)

  6. We had fresh snow overnight and the world looks lovely. Spring will arrive in its own good time; in the meantime there is much to enjoy in winter.
