Fickle Skies...

 The calendar may say Spring
is a few days away....
 
but, it sure feels like Spring already...
 
 
the bee's are buzzing,
the birds are singing
and the frogs are croaking...
 
beauty abounds...
 


as do
Fickle Skies...
 
sun, wind,  rain
repeat...
 



so today I hung out
on the back porch...
 
I planted this basket full of Primroses...
 


 
not the classic five petaled Primrose,
 
but,  these irresistible ones with
layers of ruffled petals...
 


 
We have been having the loveliest of Springs...
 
so much is in bloom,
I can't wait to take you on a
Spring Garden Walk this week!
 
I am joining...
and
 
Thanks for stopping by today....

Gently...

March
began gently...
 

in like a lamb...
 



I spent the morning
chasing away all traces of winter...
 
I brought my lamb statuary
in to sit on the mantle...
 


the rain
was falling softly...
 



 
the first Camellia bloom
popped open...
 


 
in the afternoon,
I bought a couple of flats of blooms
to fill my front porch planter...
 


color!
I am thirsty for color...
 



 
It was a perfect beginning,
I hope yours was too...
 
I will be joining...
 
Happy March...

Awakenings...

 
The heavy perfume
of Winter Daphne,
awakens my nose in late Winter...
 
 
an old friend,
whom your excited to see each year...
 
announcing the
end of Winter is near...
 
 
I filled a salt shaker
with the tiny blooms...
 
it's all you need to fill a room
with the Smell of Spring...
 
so sweet...
 

I'll blow a whiff
your way...
:-)
 



 
I enjoyed another beautiful day
 in the garden...
 
and was surprised to see
Honey Bees at work too...
 
busy as a bee...
 


the opposite of busy as a bee
was what Daisy was today...
 
lazy...
 
after a long day in the garden
we are all pretty dog tired tonight...
 

 
Happy Weekend,
 I hope you have something bright and cheery planned...
 
tonight I am joining

Thanks for stopping by,
