Our Blooms Of Early Spring

~ Flowers, Gardening, Spring

Happy Tuesday, dear friends. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Easter. After church, RM and I were joined at our home by our son, daughter-in-love, and our four precious grandchildren for an Easter lunch. We certainly missed my sweet Daddy. I know he celebrated the best Easter ever in the presence of our Risen Lord!

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Gardening season is in full swing. Zinnias and sunflower seeds are in the ground, most of the weeding has been accomplished, and pots are being filled with annuals.

I am a couple of weeks late posting our favorite early spring blooms. These late March and early April blooms didn’t get nipped by frost, even though we had a couple of late, light frosts. I think they may have had their best season!READ MORE

Welcome friends to my first alfresco table of the year! I love setting a table next to the woodlands with the backdrop of RM’s lush rye grass which he sows in late summer/early autumn. Speaking of RM, today is his birthday…happy birthday Butch!READ MORE
