Finally! A Sunny Day!

Good morning,

Yesterday was a rainy day, but we grilled outside anyway.  Today is a gloriously beautiful sunny day, although still quite chilly.  Of course, I had to go take pictures of the front garden.  I'm sure it will look very different in the next couple of weeks as these flowers fade and others bloom.
The daffodils we planted around the flag post last year are returning in all their glory.
Do you see the window on the right on the second floor?  Above that window is a decorative lion.  That spot behind that lion is home to a bird nest again this year.  After the babies are gone, we will try to figure a way to block that area to keep it from being a nest site again next year.  We don't think the moisture of the nest will be good for that lion.
Sweet buttercups. :)
 I've planted many different types of daffodils over the years, but these have been most permanent.  These King Alfred Daffs from 20 years ago have returned just as beautifully as the King Alfred's planted last year.
 The magnolia will soon be in bloom...
...to provide a huge bouquet of pink flowers.
 Ah, yes, Spring!

Enjoy,
Lois

  1. It's been too long of a winter and pictures like these are a beautiful sight! I noticed yesterday that my bulbs have pushed through the ground, but we aren't as far along as southern Ohio yet.
