The daffodils have buds, and the crocus are opening. Spring is official.
What you don’t see is a picture of me smiling, but rest assured…I am!

first blossoms of spring
March 3, 2010 – 3:55 pm
slowly but surely
February 20, 2010 – 6:07 pm
I’m waiting for spring. How about you? It’s coming, but not soon enough for me. The maple trees have been budding for several weeks. Today we had a high of 55* or so. I left the house for the first time in two weeks and took a few pictures around the yard.
It looks rather barren [...]
the promise of spring
December 13, 2009 – 12:04 pm
This morning, on the way to church, I saw this by the kitchen steps…
December sprouts.
Lovely green on green daffodil sprouts…
During the shortest days of the year, a promise that spring is coming…
I love spring. Even during Christmas, which I also love, I am happy to see a promise that spring will follow. And isn’t that [...]
glorious sunshine
November 1, 2009 – 3:19 pm
After almost two weeks of rain and clouds, the sun has finally made an appearance.
Leaves blanket everything.
The big oak behind the house is beautiful.
This ginkgo tree was a Mother’s Day gift 10 or 12 years ago.
In the woods, the elm leaves are bright yellow with spots of chocolate brown.
The red and orange sassafras leaves [...]
garden update
August 11, 2009 – 8:00 pm
After two months of cooler than normal temps, we’re back to hot and humid weather. And when it gets hot and humid, I tend to stay indoors, except to mow the lawn when it needs it. But today, I ventured out to take some pictures, since it has been so long since I’ve done [...]
there’s still a lot of color in the garden
July 31, 2009 – 10:38 pm
Now that the weeks of daylily blooms are almost over, I think there isn’t much blooming until I get out into the garden. After he got home this evening, DH and I took a spin around the yard. Yup, there is still a lot of color out there.
There are surprise lilies all over the yard.
The [...]
beautiful weather, beautiful flowers
July 22, 2009 – 8:40 pm
DH took DD and her friend to Six Flags today. They had a nice day for it. And, according to the occasional updates I’ve been getting, they are having a great time, too. I’ve certainly enjoyed a nice quiet day at home. I mowed the entire yard. Then said goodbye to my mower as it [...]
july garden weather that feels like october
July 21, 2009 – 8:54 pm
The air was damp and chilly today. Hard to believe that in July we would have the air conditioning turned off for days in a row. And who would believe we would need to close the windows against the chilly air. But we did! The garden has enjoyed all the rain we’ve had for the [...]
i don’t think this is summertime…
July 17, 2009 – 11:44 pm
The weather this weekend is gorgeous. Not regular July weather at all. I think the high today was all of 76*. What’s with that?? We would expect it to be much warmer. But I’m not complaining! It was a beautiful day and Saturday is supposed to have a high of around 70*. Wow. As [...]
wednesday is garden day
July 15, 2009 – 11:11 pm
More than most other days of the week, Wednesdays tend to concentrate on the garden. DH is off work (other than spending much of the morning doing paperwork) and we often host plant sales on Wednesday afternoons, as DH is here to dig for our customers.
It’s cloudy today and only 75*, though humid. Sprinkled [...]
