Warts & All......

        Yesterday turned into a rather beautiful sunny afternoon here...

        As I was dusting the dining room...
 
        I noticed a new visitor...

        I thought that this Violet was
        on its last legs...          

        But it presented me with a few 
        fresh blooms...♥️

        I have had this Frog Planter for a 
        very long time.....

        My daughter Lissa gave it to me...

        He has seen many plants come 
        and go....

        I love him.... 

        Warts and all  ♥️

       We decided to pass this week...

What Spring Really Looks Like....

     As I awoke to rain...dreariness...windiness...I got to thinking...

     This is not like the SPRINGS I remember...

     So...I went searching...and BOY did I find some great SPRING pics...

     The delicate blooms...

     The Birds enjoying life...

     Garden beds all raked from their Winter nap...

     Robins bob-bob-bobbing along...and splashing in the bird bath...

     Summer screens up....ready to prepare the sunporch...

     Late day sun shadows...so warm...so tasty!!

     Ahhhh..but not yet...we have to wait a wee bit longer...

            To finally enjoy...

     All that SPRING has to offer...   

            But for now...

     I think the boyfriend and I will build a beach bonfire...

            Sit back...watch the sunset...♥️

                                       ********

               Hope you are all having a great day...

                     Can you believe April is next week???

                           I am ready......

                                 Are you?

                                        Cheers!  :o)
