Mosaics

Hi everyone,

I woke up this morning to the sound of robins singing in the garden! Although the robins have been in the garden for several weeks this is the first time I heard them singing -I love to wake up to the sound of birds. Our snow is melting a little more each day and more perennials popping up daily. I had a friend for lunch yesterday and we were remembering a big snowstorm we had the end of March last year.It was also bitter cold so this spring is so much earlier for us.

I didn't really have much to share with you today so I made a few collages and I will try to do better for tomorrow!


I think this insect is a praying nantis that my little granddaughter found in our garden last year. Thank you, Robin for letting me know this is a Katydid not a praying nantis as I had thought it might be.

Thank you for visiting me,

Enjoy your day!

Lovely collages! The birds here are singing and beginning to check out nesting locations.

I think your insect is a katydid.

Pretty collages, Carolyn!
As I'm writing this, it is 6 degrees celcius! How wonderful is that? And come Saturday, Spring is officially here! We've had a wonderful March and I'm so excited to have Springtime on our doorstep! I've been seeing the robins too. Hope you have a lovely day.

Blessings,
Sandi

The birds are singing here too. We are going to be in the low 70s today and the sun is shining. The trees and shrubs have buds but haven't started to bud out yet. With this warm weather it shouldn't be long. Your photo collages are just beautiful - I enjoyed all of them.

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks for your sweet comment! I missed you too, but I often had a look at your blog! Good to hear that the temperatures are rising on your island as well! I hope you won't get a snowstorm like last year. In Holland we have a saying that says anything can happen in March!

Lieve groet, Madelief

Love your collages! It is wonderful to visit and see the beauty of your home. It is eye candy that fulfills my dreams of a romantic home. I love spring time in the country, we have been invaded with robins. But they are in hidding today because it is chilly and raining. Thank you for sharing because it has made my day warmer.

As always Carolyn I am delighted by your pictures. You really need to do a home and garden book my friend. But if you are like me, your blog is your book. The mosaic of your home is awe inspiring.

I haven't been it the garden yet, but the snow is almost gone now.
