Cheerful Yellow

Hello everyone,

I am hoping to spread a little

bit of cheerful yellow here

today.

I think we all need a break

from the grim news we keep hearing.

I am so looking forward to some

color in our garden.

I see new growth everyday in

the garden and while the

daffodils are poking up

it will be a few weeks

before we have a big display.

A sunny yellow porch

Barrels of pretty tulips

A cheerful quilt and some

spring daffodils.

A coffecake with a pretty

bouquet.

A little yellow teacup

with a beautiful rose.

My yellow bird magnolia

Love the little yellow finches in

the garden.

Antique china with a beautiful

bouquet of yellow roses from

our garden.

The snow is going here and the birds

are returning to the garden. I can't wait

to get out to the garden and start getting

it  ready for the season once again. 

Thank you for visitng and please

take care!

Our Garden Lilacs

Hello everyone,

I have been doing some garden

dreaming here lately while I

wait for the garden to return.

I hope you will enjoy dreaming

along with me..

The above lilac is called Sensation

and it is one of my favorites.

Lilac season is one of my favorite times

in the garden especially as  some of

their blooms overlap with the peony

season.

I love these Preston lilacs as they bloom

later than the French lilacs extending

the season and they also have a lovely

sweet fragrance.

     

                           

A basket of beautiful lilacs.

I love big bouquets of fragrant lilacs.

We have lots of different varieties

of lilacs  in different colors.

My kitchen sink full of lilacs

Some years my lilacs bloom better

then others...... last year was a good

year for  blooms.

I had a lilac theme going on here on

our screened porch. I love

the very old handmade quilt

on the old iron bed.

I always enjoy making collages.

It seems like our time of isolating is

going to continue for a least several

more weeks so our garden will be

our safe haven this spring/summer

for sure. Now, if the weather would

just co operate so we can get out there

and enjoy digging in the dirt again!

Stay safe and stay well!
