Yikes! It's cold outside. A year ago today I posted a spring
series of pictures with all of my early flowers covered in snow. I thought I'd
try for better pictures this year, but most of my flowers and blossoms look a
bit bedraggled from the storms we've had the past few days. I should have taken
pictures early in the week. But here goes:
The bleeding hearts are just beginning to bloom.
The phlox are doing great.
The birdhouse has no occupants, but my granddaughter keeps
checking.
More phlox and a few tulips.
My gardens have acquired a few new creatures this year. The horse was
a Christmas present from my youngest granddaughter. My son gave me the
rattlesnake for my birthday. And my husband picked out the owl with a little
help from another granddaughter in hopes it might scare away some of the huge
flock of pesky doves that hang around our neighborhood, cooing and pooping on
the swing.
Ah-h spring. I love flowers and can hardly wait for warmer
days so I can dig out the grass and weeds that have crept in and plant summer
flowers. I didn't take any pictures of my husband's garden. Not much is showing
there yet since he plants vegetables, but how I love new potatoes and veggies
straight from the garden. Can you tell I've had enough winter for this year?
