Pink and Cream from the Past

Good morning,

How lovely to see this beautiful tulip again this year!  At one time, I had a "patch" of 50 or 60 of them, now there are only two.  But, how lovely that the two have survived the 30 years since I planted them here.

Do you have garden memories of when you planted special flowers and trees? 

Enjoy,
Lois

Lilac

Good morning,

The lilacs are blooming, slowly this year because it is so cool, but still blooming and gloriously fragrant.

Next year when we are home longer at this time of the year I plan to separate this huge lilac bush into another two or three.

Enjoy Spring!

All the best,

Coming Attractrion - Peonies

Good morning,

The ruffled green and red leaves in this image are the sign of a coming attraction of huge peony blossoms.

We will surely have left to go South before they bloom, but, hopefully, our daughter will send us some images to enjoy this year.  Next year we will be home to see them bloom again.

I so enjoy seeing all of my blog friends' flower images, too!  Isn't it wonderful to be able to enjoy the gardens blooming around the world.

All the best,
Lois

Today's Tulips

Good morning,

It is chilly in Cincinnati this week which is an advantage for the longevity of our Spring flowers.

More flowers are blooming every day, yet are lasting longer because of the cool weather.

We will be leaving to go South again soon so will miss some of our flowers this year.  Until we go, I'll be taking pictures every day so I have a record of these lovely blossoms. 

Enjoy,
Lois

Spring Flowers

Good morning,

Every day our view of our garden changes and is even more beautiful than the day before.

Most of the daffodils are gone and the tulips have moved into the spotlight.

The red bud trees are spectacular.

 These are some of the late daffodils and are very fragrant.  Gorgeous!

Enjoy,
Lois

Bird (?) Feeder

Good morning,

I bake bread almost every day while we are home.  It's all natural, no preservatives, so it only is truly fresh that first day.

The "birds" have no problem getting the leftovers.

All the usual suspects show up at the bird feeder including this little fluffy tail "bird." They all get their share.  ;)

Happy Spring!

Slumber Party

Good morning,

"The girls" had a slumber party in our bed.

It's just so comfy here...

...and with the king size bed there is room for everyone - even us!  ;)

Enjoy,
Lois
