Now showing in the garden...

Purple Clematis

Thought I'd share some garden photos with you. Most are of the rose garden at the back of our cottage...aren't roses just the loveliest flowers??? I wish you could scratch and sniff. The light fruity aroma that greets me every day is heavenly!

A quick check out front tells me that I'll have some peace to snap some photos.

My chives from last year...

And the weed growing beside it!

Didn't I tell you I have weeds???

Uh oh, I'm in trouble now...I got caught taking pictures!

Mom, what are you doing?

Did you honestly think you could get away without giving me some lovin'?

Is this what I got up from my nap for???

(Mnummnumnum...oooohhhh, stretch!)

REALLY, Mom? Is it really all I got up for???

Now showing (in the garden!)

Here at home spring is just around the corner. We've had temperatures in the 50's and 60's the past two weeks and my garden is showing signs of life. Secretly, I'm a little worried that it'll dip below 30 again and my plants will suffer, but there's always next year!

One of my many rosebushes putting out leaves and new growth.

My camellia is loving this weather!

And, last but not least - the crocuses!

I see hundreds of daffodils waiting in the wings, my chives are springing to life, and my irises are starting to green up. It won't be long until the yard is full of color once again. I can't wait! I know that winter is necessary but spring and fall are my favorites.
