As we continue to clean out to ready ourselves for our move next month, I am finding enjoyment in reminiscing about things I’ve found…
This week brought some nice changes in our weather. It began to look and feel like spring! The grass has really greened up and one variety of my daffodils has opened. The tulips are ready to bloom in our back bed facing east but still tightly closed in our gardens near the road. So far…
Today is Silent Sunday! This is the day of the week that I post my own photography on a theme of my choosing. I hope you enjoy the gardens today! There is no permission to duplicate in any form. Thank you.
