Bottles and Blooms...

 I think few things are more cherished,
by my heart...
 
than the first blooms of Spring...
 


after a Winter of fragrance free
grocery store Roses,
 
my nose is doing somersaults...
 

 
a few blooms tucked
in bottles....
 
a carefree easy bouquets...




Fragrant Daffodils,
plucked from my front porch planter...
 


 
Hyacinth
are the quintessential smell of spring
for me....
 
how about you?



 
Spring is Sweet,
Drink It Up...
 
I am linking up to...

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...
