Easter Sweets...

Since there are no little ones here,

the Easter Bunny won't be stopping by with any baskets...

 

still...

 

 

Easter Candy is just too pretty,

to not indulge...

 



 

so this year,

I filled my apothecary jars

and cloches

with some favorite sweets...

 



 

perfect pastels...

 

irresistible pink grass...

 

 

white rabbits...

 

a little Chocolate...

 

 

wishing you something sweet...

Beautfiul April....

 

I love Spring...

 

it is my favorite season,

everything is so fresh and new...

 

a beginning...

 

 

so far ,

April has been a beautiful month...

 



 

on the first day,

I thought I had plenty to do...

 

then this box of bareroot Roses

 showed up on my doorstep...

 

I am not complaining,

not one bit!

 



 

these are my choices...

 



(Mount Fuji Cherry)

 

the current stars of the garden are the trees...

 



 

 

the Magnolia...

 



 

and down they come...

 



 

the Easter Egg Tree

is in full bloom...

 

Pink Magnolia snow in the background...

 



 

Viburnum on the cusp

of wonderful!



 

an airy spray of Bridal Spirea...

 



 

Tulips popping....

 

 

 

the Starling

are beginning to nest...

 



I should say...

 

"the VERY ambitious Starlings"

 



another joy of gardening...

 

the found treasures,

through the years I have gathered quite a collection

of buried yard treasures...

 

mostly buttons,

a porcelain figurines boot,

bits of pottery,

oyster shells,

horse shoes,

and lumps of coal...

 



 

I hope the Beauty of April

is in your Heart too...

Thanks for stopping by today....

Random Acts of Spring...

We had the most lovely

Spring Weekend...

 

It is just nice to say

"Spring Weekend"  Isn't it?

 

today the grey skies returned...

 



the rain...

 



but,  frankly that's o.k.

 

the garden is thirsty,

and I am a little achy...

 



 

I do think the rain is beautiful...

 

 

today,

as the dogs had a run around

the garden....

 

I picked a handful

of Muscari...

 



 

 

 

my Mr. brought home

a couple bundles of Daffodils...

 

since they grow them commercially

in my valley...

 

you can often find kids selling bundles,

a little like

Spring Lemonade stands...

 



 

I brought out

some Spring decorations,

to start arranging...

 

 

Daisy,  Iris and Randy

had the best idea...

 

a snuggly lazy nap...

 



 

all in all it was just a random day,

sometimes they are the most special...
