My Spring Garden

I just love all the beauty that spontaneously arrives in my front garden in the spring. 

Hyacinths. These bloom in a couple different colors in my garden. 

Pointy-petaled tulips

Here's a shot of the plants snuggled under their new black mulch thanks to my husband. 

And here's the other side of the garden with it's creeping phlox. 

I didn't get any close ups of the daffodils, but most of them have orange centers against pale yellow petals. 

Hope beauty is flourishing in your life, as well. 

Spring Forth

Look what I found at Trader Joe's today. 

My own, personal sign of spring. 

I so needed something sunny to sit on my counter as a counter action to the relentless snow and cold. 

Spring has to be close, right?

Saturday Snapshot -- Spring

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post on Alyce's blog At Home With Books.

Please don’t post random photos that you find online.
I'm sure everyone who lives through the Midwest or Northeast United States is posting pictures of the miracles that have popped up through the last week.

We've had weather in the 80s.
Usually, if we went south to Florida this time of year, for spring break, we would watch the foliage gradually change to spring. We'd see the redbuds blooming in Tennessee or Georgia. Then fully-leafed trees in southern Georgia and finally palm trees in Florida.

Now, the trees have bloomed here, along with spring flowers.

Of course, along with the beautiful blooms, comes the stormy weather. I took this picture before I headed to the basement to wait out the tornado warning.

Still, everyone has been enjoying the warmer weather. Even 18-year-old boys mourning the end of basketball season.
