Beauty

Today is November 21st.  It is very warm here.  Feels like September!!  I am loving it. 
And I am very THANKFUL!!
I have a pot of pansies on the mini deck!!  I just had to share it. 
Don't think I would be having these beauties in Pennsylvania!!

Spring??

I took this photo on February 15th. I would guess that spring has arrived. But there have been flowers around everywhere thru the "winter". Here's some other pics!





This flower grows from a plant from the clover family. It is the green on our yards.

Hardly any grass like in the US here!

I don't know what this is called but it is lovely!

Love Thursday

You know what I really love...(besides my family)...seeing the flowers come up out of the ground every year. I get such joy from seeing them climb up, sprout and then finally bloom.

These daffodils I planted last year around the old, huge satellite dish we used to have in the front yard. A few weeks after I planted them, The King had a friend pull the dish out of the ground and it was carted off to the recycling center. After the blooms die off I will have to move them somewhere else so we can get some grass seeds going there. You can see the dirt around the daffodils!
There have been so many new little faces blooming in our yard this week. Thank you Spring!

Spring Days

The past four days have been incredibly hot here. At least 93! Last night a cool front moved in and now we are back to the 60's. A drop of 32 degrees! It is definitely more pleasant!

My lilac bush bloomed! Awhile back, I cannot remember how long, my dad took a cutting from another lilac bush and brought it over to me. It was in the bucket for a couple of weeks because I could not decide where to plant it! Finally I stuck in my front flower bed! I still need to move it because it is not in a good spot for the plant to mature. Anyway here's a shot of the flower!

Last night Litle P and I were out in the back yard. We decided to check out the strawberrries that we planted last year. We only had 2 plants but they have mutliplied! Here's one of them with a flower! I forget when the strawberries are ready to eat.

Spring Watch

All my daffodils are open now. Aren't they pretty! The grape hyacinths are starting to flower too!












Here's the pink hyacinth. I noticed after I took this photo that there is another flower growing. Cool!

Spring Watch

Here are recent photos of the plants that I posted about a few weeks ago. You can see a blossom starting. It won't be much longer until it pops out!

The landscape is coming back to life again. The lawns are more green than brown.

Here's the hyacinth. I cannot wait to see the pink blossoms appear!
