Early April

We are enjoying many colors in our yard.  What a great distraction from this current pandemic.  COVID-19 is always in our thoughts, but during the day it's good to take time to relax.  Enjoy the colors outdoors!  We don't have any roses blooming to enjoy their aroma, just yet.  However, there is new growth on our rose bushes.

I was waiting p-a-t-i-e-n-t-l-y for the Daffodil buds to open.  So many bulbs were planted many years ago.  Now, these are the only Daffodils in our yard.    

The Perennial Vinca spreads across a large area of one garden.  In early Spring these dainty flowers appear!

Hyacinths are just bursting open along with the bright yellow Forsythia!  Every day more bright yellow Forsythia buds open.  

 

The White Bleeding Hearts have sprouted up from the soil, too!  Before we know it the flowers will be visible.

Another favorite is our Rhododendron that always "does its thing"!  Half the bush has buds that open in the Spring.  Then, in Autumn the other half open.

It's good to stop and enjoy the beautiful colors!  Take some time each day to r-e-l-a-x!! 

Enjoy!
Stay Well!

   

Just Around the Corner

Question: 
What is the season??

...might be Spring!  You know, the season when we enjoy wearing short sleeved tops, light weight or no jackets outdoors.  Maybe even shorts.  This year we need to rely on memories when thinking of Spring! 

As I write this, it is raining.  Earlier we had snow.  It does make for a fascinating photo.  

Three seasons are represented in our backyard perennial garden:  Autumn- Zebra Grass, Winter- Snow and Spring- pink Hyacinths and sprouting Japanese Irises.

However, this is New England!  With a blink of our eyes the weather will change again!  :)

Enjoy!

 

~April 2, 2018~

One just might believe that it's April 1st and Mother Nature wanted to surprise all of us!  However, it's April 2, 2018.

Excited about Spring,

February in April!

First Flowers, Then Snowflakes!

Sure is February in April!  At least that's what it looks like & how it's felt yesterday & today.  Oh wait- I live in New England!  

Last week we were enjoying the colorful flowering bulbs in our back perennial garden.  Some of us stored away the snow shovels & snow blowers for next winter.  However, yesterday & today the back perennial garden has an absence of color.   There were a lot of flakes floating down! 

Spring is just around the corner- again.  :)

Enjoying the seasons,

    

~Happy Easter!~

A small amount of snow is still here.

A sight I've been patiently waiting for!  There's a path to our outdoor grill!  With the warmer temps &  sunshine these past couple of weeks and then a bit of rain, the snow in our yard has been disappearing.  Almost like magic!  However, our outdoor grill & deck were still surrounded by the white stuff!  Earlier this week Jim cleared a path to our grill.  The path got much larger.  Grilling on Easter Sunday sounded so good!  It's happening!  Woohoo!

Happy Easter!!!

Enjoy!
