Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

Happy Easter! 

We have had nice weather this past week, which has caused the garden to spring up almost in front of your eyes - like a Disney movie!  Ploop, ploop, ploop - voila, it's spring!

Dora, not so patiently waiting for Scott to throw the ball!

Little Buddy, not thrilled with wearing bunny ears!

Our apple tree starting to pop, our neighbor's redbud trees getting ready to burst, brilliant hostas...spring has sprung!  We were wearing winter coats in the past week!

Happy little violas, about the only bedding plants that are hardy enough for this time of year.  How cute are they!

More violas in my hanging basket (photo bomber is Scott).  So glad we finished our massive mulching/weeding project yesterday (when this was taken).  We had a big rain during the night, and everything is so pretty today.
Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

Spring has sprung!

Spring is here, time to get back to blogging!  We have been really busy around here, getting ready for a garage sale among other things.  The house is a mess - I can't wait for the sale to be over in two weeks! 

This weekend was absolutely glorious weather! Two solid days of high 70 degree temps, and poof! The garden flowers are popping out!

I have just a few hyacinths, nestled in with one of my favorite hydrangeas - which is budding out nicely.  The pink flamingoes, Emily and Hannah, keep watch.  

My favorite giant, lime green and gold hostas are spiraling out of the ground. 

These aliums have gone from tiny spouts to foot-tall plants in about a week! And if you look in the center, near the bottom, there is a bud! These are the giant aliums - my husband had renamed them "aliens" - are about 3 feet tall when blooming, with giant purple blossoms.

Tulips!  Scott and I both LOVE tulips, and are so excited when they start blooming.  I love these purple ones, alongside the sweet yellow iris, and my deep purple clematis (out of the picture to the right, climbing up my gaslight).
Back to garage sale sorting and pricing!
