Five Dollars of Fun...

The garage sales

this year have been slow,

Still you have to try...

 

 

My Lily of the Valley

is in bloom

and I have been looking for the perfect little vase...

Done!

 

this was my big ticket item,

3.00

 

Lily of the Valley

 





 

Alba Bleeding Heart

 

at Easter I had wanted an Egg Cup

to make a little bouquet in...

 

and even though Easter has already past,

I think Eggs are a symbol of Spring,

so I am going for it...

 

Egg Cup

.50

besides,

it too is Lily of the Valley

and I was on a roll...

 



a mini bouquet of...

 

Sweet Alyssum

and

Coral Bells

 



 

I have been meaning to start

 a Silver Napkin Ring collection...

 

today it got off to a modest start...

1.00

 

and

the sweet little cotton heart

.50

 

So there it is

my Five Dollars of Fun...

 



 

Good Luck

in whatever it is

you are looking for this weekend!

 

Happy Weekend!

As Right as Rain...

I thought

I would take you for a quick dash

around the garden today...

 

our blue skies are fading

and rain clouds are quickly blowing in...

 

 

the windy morning

has sent the Cherry Blossoms

tumbling and twirling down...

 

Pink Rain

covers everything...

 

the White Bleeding Heart

glowing...

 

pitter patter...

 

 

the seasons

first Roses are almost popping...

 

I eagerly await the blooms

(and so do the aphids)

 

 

the Lilacs have peeked,

the scent is divine...

 

so I quickly gather an armful...

 

and

snip the first blooms

off my Tree Peony...

 





and settle in for a few rainy days...

 

I just love Spring Rain...

 



 

As Right as Rain

 

 today I am joining Hakan for

Saturday Showoff

and Cindy for

Show and Tell Friday 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by...

Goodbye April Showers, Hello Blue Skies...

With

what seems like more than our fair share

of April Showers...  

 

 

I am glad to be welcoming

Blue Skies...

 

 

while Blue Skies and sunshine

make the above

 Dogwood Tree glow...

 



 

blue skies

really are best

when paired with Pink Cherry Trees...

 



 

 

the bulbs

are peaking now...

 

 

and

new blooms

are ready to take over the show...

 

Hello Lilacs!

 

the very first Columbine...

 

"I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become,

                  I will always plant a large garden in the spring.
Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy

that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?"
-  Edward Giobbi

 

with a beautiful weekend forecasted,

there is so much work to be done

in the garden...

 

and that

is a wonderful thing!

 

 

I Hope You Have Wonderful Weekend Plans Too....
