Flower Box....

 
I am infatuated
with the fresh blooms in the garden...
 

so infatuated
that when I saw this glove box
I thought I should just fill it with flowers...
 
nothing is off limits...


 
this Daphne Rubra smells lovely...
 

 
the crocus are so cheerful!
 
 
Happy Weekend!!
 
 
tonight I am linking up to...

Early March Garden...

 Spring...
there is little in life that feels as
fresh,
as new
as full of promise...
 
 
 
I have been working on a blog project
that has me going through my old photo stash...
 
last night I realized
that the garden is five weeks behind where it was last year!
 
that is a lot!


 
a lot of my blooms
are pushing their way up through
fall leaves...
 
as the garden is still awaiting its clean up
and Spring pruning...
 
 
I just haven't been brave enough to weather
the frequent snow flurries and wind...
 


 
so much moss this year too,
I believe I will not look at is a burden
but in the eyes of Mr. Keats...
 
and when thou art weary
I'll find thee a bed,
of mosses and flowers
to pillow thy head
 
John Keats 
 


 
so bright and cheery!
 

 
this may look like an autumn photo,
but no...
 
I don't believe Mr. Keats
 will have a soothing thought for the pruning
 I need to do...
 

 
the first welcome bloom
 of the New Dawn Viburnum...
 
this usually blooms in the end of January...
 


the Snowdrops are beginning to fade....
 


 
aren't they captivating?
 

 
Spring Dreaming....
 
 
 thank you so much for stopping by,

Spring Eggs and Green Tea...

 
Even thought it is once again snowing
 just a little...
 
my mind is in Spring...
 
 
I brought out my demitasse tea cups,
to hold green eggs...
 
 
tucked myself into a cozy nook of the sofa,
for a little tea...
in a big mug...
 


something sweet
was completely necessary...
 
 
I tell myself I will need these calories
for the Spring clean up in the garden....
 


 
paper flowers...
 
always on stand by for instant cheer!
 





 
crocus fill a tiny creamer...



 
it is only two weeks
until Spring!
 
I am linking up to...
 
It's always so nice when you stop by....
