Delightful Orange

                                                                   Hello everyone,
         We are finally getting another spell of warm weather and the garden is full of the bright colors of spring so I took a little time to capture the beauty.
       I picked a bouquet from the garden and put them in my newly painted watering can(thanks Snow) and set it down on the island sandstone rocks in the hillside garden and took a few shots so I could enjoy the lasting beauty.

                                                 I love the soft colors of this parrot tulip.

                                        This two toned tulips is pretty showy .

These look like they were hit with a splash of paint.

  Well, I have to say once again where orange is not my usual choice for our garden in the spring garden I think it is delightful-don't you?

We are supposed to get buckets of rain tomorrow.....we shall see.

I am joining The Rose Garden in Malevik for Show off Saturday.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

                                      A pretty spring garden bouquet in some cute little wellies.

                                I have a few hellebores in bloom along with the tulips.

                                            The small viola is called freckles.

    It is so nice to have pretty bouquets to pick from the garden again.

Our first tour of the season went really well-it was a small tour of lovely ladies from Japan who wanted the opportunity to visit in an Island home and practice their English and they did very well! They even sang a beautiful song to us in both english and japanese to express their appreciation. One of the ladies was a very young looking 80 years old.It was a great way to start the season!

I am joining My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday today.


      Thank you so much for visiting and maybe I will see you on Saturday!
