Early Spring Garden

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Spring

Hello sweet readers! Spring is in full swing in our Foothills after our cold temperatures last week. With early spring the pollen always makes its appearance, and my allergies are raging! So strange, I never had any seasonal allergies until a few years ago. Does that come when you reach a certain age?

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬

Gardening is also in full swing. Let’s take a short walk and see what is going on in early spring!

 

Those that have followed a long time know that this bronze statue is the central feature of the garden. I have mentioned several times that it is actually a fountain. It found a new purpose when it moved from the front landscape to the garden…RM couldn’t be happier!

Candytuft surrounds the statue and it has been unusually pretty this year. The frost didn’t seem to bother it.READ MORE
