SING, It's Spring...

It's been a true spring day...

bright blue skies,

followed by fresh April showers...

and repeat...

So I gave up

hunting Dandelions...

and decided to decorate my mantle...

What is spring without birds?

or flowers?

I made a little banner,

back in the winter...

anticipating spring!

doesn't spring

just make you wanna sing along

with all the birds?

a trio of baby blue birds...

what could be happier?

I let my unemployed watering cans

serve as vases today...

the delicate blooms of the Service Berry tree...

the tattered blooms of the Bradford Pear...

go on and SING!

(you know you want to!)

Tonight I am joining...

It's SPRING!

Yes,  It's spring...

I know it officially started

a couple weeks ago...

but,  it hasn't been feeling too springy here,

until this weekend...

it was beautiful,

it was glorious...

the garden is a buzz...

blooms are popping open everywhere...

would you like to take a stroll?

the big old Magnolia in the front garden,

was the first tree we planted when we moved in...

there are a pair of smaller Magnolia shrubs

in the back...

this one the softest lavender shade...

this one pure white...

the Rockcress spills over the rockery...

a watering can in the background

lives a life of leisure this time of year,

it's services

completely unnecessary...

each season bring it's own surprises...

the Daffodil in the back

has a single trumpet....

the flower in the front,

seems to be a triple decker!

the bed has several of each style...

the evening song in the garden

is thick with the croaking of frogs...

I spotted the first eggs cluster this morning...

a patch of Anemone

sways softly in the breeze...

a lazy rabbit keeps watch

from a patch of faded Crocus...

these mystery flowers

come from a plant sale

several years ago....

can you name my mystery flower?

sweet Camellia...

potted Hyacinth

are a inside favorite in early spring...

for years,

I have been replanting them outside,

forming a boarder...

perfect for cutting :-)

Bonnets and Bunnies...

The B's of Easter....

Bonnets and Bunnies...

as a diversion from the rain...

I popped into a little antique mall

for a some retail therapy...

and popped out with a sweet vintage bonnet...

a floppy velvet bow...

and

forget-me-nots

wrapped in a soft tattered net...

the Sweetness of Easter...

and of course you can't forget the Easter Bunny!

He is in charge of the sweets:-)

and since I am on a diet...

(forgive me that foul word!)

I am hoping somebunny

fills my basket

with some of that new Rachael Ashwell

bedding at Target...

Have you seen the lavender set?

dreamy...
