(Do you know whic...I just love this post, Carolyn!! (Do you know which one it is, I hope? It's from over a month ago.) This past month, our family took a vacation back to my home in California - I sang a large solo in a concert (orchestra and all) - and had two photos in an art show. I feel like I've been around the world and back - these things were so engrossing, I felt, actually, gobbled up for a moment, there. But, now, I'm settling back into wonderful home life!! When we left for CA, there was snow on the ground and, now, suddenly, it's tulip time!!<br /><br />So, I'm rambling on but, what I'm trying to say is... I've just enjoyed scrolling through the posts that I've missed - that white dress made me stop short and GASP! I love your redone garden chair and all the pretty images that went with it!!!!!! and breakfast in bed.... never experienced it myself, alas! ;) So many pretty things and they make me glad and they inspire me, too!!<br /><br />Well!! I scrolled through and got to this post which, obviously, I've seen before but I just LOVE it and I came to comment and I'm so glad I did because I almost missed your response! And, I'm so happy to hear that my plan for the clematis will work - and the bird in the vines sounds desperately happy!! (It makes life just that extra wonderful, doesn't it?! =) ) And, I stopped, here, to comment because, just yesterday, I was looking at the clematis - all three have survived the winter wonderfully! (I was worried because they had gone dormant in their pots before I planted them. I thought that maybe the drought had done them in!) In fact, all three are thriving and covered in buds!!! Although, all three are still midgets, at the moment! ;)<br /><br />So, that's the news... I need more coffee (for sure!) and, then, it's out into the garden I go!! Happy days! Hope yours is springy and wonderful, too - I truly do!! =)<br /><br />xxooKaty Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972227249393814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-23098643029297757282013-04-09T17:46:54.230-03:002013-04-09T17:46:54.230-03:00Hello Carolyn, I do appreciate you sharing with Ho...Hello Carolyn, I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday, I will be featuring your post in this week's party,<br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310044533488593888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-22936991180955922872013-04-07T01:55:10.812-03:002013-04-07T01:55:10.812-03:00Oh, I am using your garden as inspiration.

My husband hired the neighbor's gardener to come in and tackle the jungle and I think I can actually do some planting this week after school each day. I will be asking the nurseryman about a lot of your flower choices and whether they will survive my sandy coastal soil.<br /><br />thanks for the inspiration.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-80279513237847767192013-04-05T20:27:14.810-03:002013-04-05T20:27:14.810-03:00Carolyn, any gardening helpful hints with regards ...Carolyn, any gardening helpful hints with regards to flowers?

I was in the garden Sunday and it made me happy to see all the green shoots appear. When the sun comes through at last, it will probably grow fast. Can't wait!!!<br /><br />Have a lovely day!<br /><br />Madelief xMadeliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906326152435858221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-74978904916361011912013-04-04T16:10:39.450-03:002013-04-04T16:10:39.450-03:00Oh my God!

It's just beautiful - a sight for sore eyes, eh?<br /><br />Most of the snow is gone - although, across the street in the shade of the woods, there are still large patches. The birds are singing away every morning and certain things are starting to green up in the garden. Even the grass has a definite green tinge about it.<br /><br />Now, if we had seen this in the autumn, we would have thought 'YECH!' Am I right? ;) But, right now, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! =D<br /><br />You gave me a thrill of hope with your images - particularly the one with the clematis climbing up around your windows. We have those two beautiful bay windows and I dug a bit of garden (In December, no less - weird as weird can be!) alongside the windows and put in three clematis. I really hope one of them, at least, has survived! Is it beautiful from the inside - to see them around the window?<br /><br />Well, you always remind me what I'm aiming for!!! =)<br /><br />xxoKaty Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972227249393814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-30586439165169919202013-04-04T07:32:52.353-03:002013-04-04T07:32:52.353-03:00Oh, I am so longing to vivid spring colours and a ...Oh, I am so longing to vivid spring colours and a bit of warmth. We have an extremely cold March and beginning of April this year. So as at your place, grey, muddy, bare branches and cold at the moment. <br />I love your colourcombinations for summer, I am a Delphinium lover and have many of them together with roses.
