It does seem as though summer is here with our high temperatures reaching the mid-eighties each day. However, there are a few springtime flowers that I will share with you today.
We returned home from our week-end away to find the peonies had burst into bloom!
Also, there is a good showing of new growth on the Knockout Roses.

There are buttercups in the yard...

| Pretty dainty flowers. |
|
|
...and the blueberries are looking promising.

This is strawberry season, though.

Those strawberries were certainly good on a spinach salad!:-)
I hope your week is going well. Have a terrific Tuesday!
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
Oh, how lovely your yard is looking, and what a neat surprise with your very own strawberries! I really like those knockout roses, too....there are several folks around here who have them, and they are really showing their true colors these days. When we were children, it seems that our roses were always very sturdy and grew without any real care, other than making sure they were kept moist during the dry season. I don't know why so many of our cultivated roses have difficulty growing these days, but I surely do miss those we grew up with! I'm sure you remember the pink rambling rose bush...HUGE, with no effort! Have a terrific Tuesday, Sister! :-)

ReplyDeleteYour yard is ALIVE with Spring!!!!! Love your Peonies. My mother grew them --but I never have.
ReplyDeleteYUM---on the Strawberries....

I like your surprises that you found when you got back home. Your strawberries and flowers all look pretty. So do your blueberries.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I like about flowers and gardening, always surprises.
Just look at all your gorgeous blooms and luscious fruit! How wonderful! Josie and I would be happy to come visit your blueberries with our fruit basket in hand!
ReplyDeletePretty pretty peonies! Ours are about 6" tall and not long before they bloom. Chilly stormy here this week. Have a great rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteNellie, Some one there has a green thumb :):) Some nice berries for your ice cream or cereal. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteStrawberries already? Wow! Eating them with spinach I have never heard of this, but I could see this would be a nice marriage. In France I had them with red wine and cream. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh my lots of beautiful growth and blooms! My peonies are just now poken thru! Enjoy! I cant't wait!!
ReplyDeleteSo much more ahead than us where you live and such nice surprises...
ReplyDeleteI love that you have berries already, roses peonies but you can keep the buttercups. I know they are pretty bus so invasive. I never had buttercups until the big flood and now I have to pull them out of my flowerbeds.
When I was young we would hold a butter cup under our friend's chin to see if the color yellow reflected on their skin and if so, we would say "You love butter".
Hugs,

Everything is looking really nice your way. It was near 80 here today!! Everything seems to have greened up overnight.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many different varieties in your yard. I've always wanted to try growing my own food. Your berries look delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou are at least a month ahead of us. Our tulips are just now blooming and most of the flowering trees have not popped yet either. Gorgeous flowers. Oh, I have a new blog post.
