I, for one, have been happy that this spring has been "late." The lovely blooms on the dogwood trees have lasted through the month, and our fruit trees have done nicely with their blooms. I have already shown some pictures of those trees blooming, so today I want to share a few other things around here.

Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
Love those pictures of spring - especially the dandelion pic!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhh, the columbine!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete-happy sigh-
Your strawberries look great, and the columbine. I have never seen it in person before. That is quite a bit of rain you got there. We are having a rainy gray day today. xo
ReplyDeletewow you have had alot of birthdays at your house! happy belated birthday! your cake looks good! i also love the Jan Karon books too and pick them up when ever i see them. enjoy your day Nellie! and thanx so much for stopping by my blog! love hearing from you!
ReplyDeleteLove the columbine, the same color as mine is. You are a bit further along than we are, and I think a bit more rain, too. We are still too wet to do anything. Things are coming up and the tulips are just now in full bloom. I haven't checked the iris for shoots yet, but they should be next along with the peonies. By then, we should have the veggies in and annuals. Who knows with this year, though. Cooler is going to be better later this summer.
ReplyDeleteNellie, I love the flowers. Let us know what that one plant is..I do not know. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletewhatever that last plant is, i have them too! let me know if you find out what it is. mine are very difficult to pull out. we need so much rain!
ReplyDeleteHi Nellie, We have the opposite problem up here. We have had so much cold weather in March and April that our blooms are not nearly as pretty this year. Our Redbuds and our Pink Dogwood didn't bloom too much at all. The Azaleas haven't bloomed yet --so I'm not sure what they will do. We lost a few roses due to the weather... Glad your weather down there has been better.
ReplyDeleteHow'bout that weekend rain??? Unbelievable. Think we had 6 inches up here... Nice to see the sun trying to come out today!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Well, that bottom plant looks like what we used to call mustard when we were growing up. Not the greens, though, because nobody ever picked them and tried to cook them, so I'm not sure. I'll have to let you tell me what it is! Sunshine does look beautiful today after our wet weekend, and we're enjoying it a lot! Have a great afternoon, Sister!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Nellie! We had sunshine here.
ReplyDeleteWe had a horribly stormy, deluge of rain on Saturday to Sunday morning, with hail. It was downright scary.
ReplyDeleteEverything at your place looks so nice and bloomy!
Rain certainly gives the gardens a great lift. Your flowers and plants look happy and loved.. What a blessing a garden is.
ReplyDeleteOH OH OH! Columbine! I will head straight over to the arboretum if it stops raining!!!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI think we all are enjoying this spring more than ever. Maybe it's because it seems like we've waited longer for this one. : )
Such pretty photos. I am so glad there is such pretty spring flowers around now.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely. I especially like the columbines. I had several of them in my flower garden at home.
