Magical


Hello friends.

I didn't intend on being gone so long.

I'm not quite sure what happened there.

I guess it's hard for me to share when times are dreary.

But today is beautiful....

the weather is lovely~
and
I worked out in my gardens today.

I got six little beds cleared out.

I am trying to get a head start this spring~
last year my gardens were neglected pitifully.
I'm sure I will be paying for that in weeds.

To show you how neglected they were~
I found six hidden Easter eggs today.
{from LAST year's egg hunt}

The candy was not edible.
In case you were wondering.
:)


Looking forward to catching up with you.

Hope your weather is warming as well.

I couldn't help it....had to post another photo of buds.
They hold such promise.
Love them.

Hello, friend! Amazing what a day in the garden can do for you. If you aren't starting seeds or new plants in your gardens, when the forsythia blooms in your area, you can spread some "Preen" out and it should kill the weeds before they start.
Glad to hear from you - no matter how long the break.
Saying my prayers...
Hugs to you.

Glad you're back...I missed your beautiful pictures just about the most calming, quiet and easy to read blog on the web! As you, I find it easier to share when the weather and "other" has cleared for me a bit. I draw in into myself when I feel pressured.

Today's photo is a sure sign...spring is close! And the time changes tonight, so I'm a happy camper!

Welcome back Chas. The buds are so beautiful to see, it's going to be quite some time until we see them here, my lawn is still covered in at least 2' of snow. Crazy makin' I tell ya but it could be worse.

Enjoy your Sunday!
