Beautiful RED BUD tree blooming in our Yard 4/11/19 |
Good Morning Friends and Family, After a warm week, some rain and storms, today is sunny and COLD.... Brrrr---got down to about 34 last night, but it felt MUCH colder....Maybe now --it will warm up and stay warm!!!!! (Pretty soon I'll be complaining about how hot it is!!!!!!!! ha)
I haven't had much time to blog this week --but have gotten more pictures of our yard, as Spring keeps appearing.... SO today I'll just share more Spring Pictures for you... Hope you enjoy them.

Hosta plants are really pretty in our yard --so we have a bunch of them... The biggest problem with having Hosta is that the deer LOVE them!!!!! (4/13/19) |

Guess what this is?????? This is a LILY beginning to grow on our deck. I LOVE Lilies (almost as much as Roses and Tulips). The deer also LOVE Lilies --and we have lost so many Lilies to the deer. SO---My Sweetheart has made me a Lily Garden on the deck!!!! See the next picture!!! (4/10/19) |

Here is my NEW Lily Bed on the deck... Isn't George just GREAT? He worked hard on this project --so that I could enjoy the Lilies this year. SO--in about a month or so, I'll hopefully show you some of these Lilies in bloom. YEAH!!!! (4/10/19) |

Well ---that's it for this week....Spring is so exciting since it brings NEW LIFE all around us, and so much color! Whether it is the beautiful greens of the grass or Hosta plants--or the colors of flowering trees like the Red Bud and Dogwood, or just watching the new growth of the flowers like the LILIES, I feel so blessed... Thanks be to God for new LIFE.
Happy Easter to ALL and God Bless YOU.
Hugs,

Your yard is so pretty. I love all the blooming plants, flowers and trees. Only thing coming up around here a re a few tulips and crocus'. The snow yesterday put a damper on any new stuff blooming. Come on Spring!!!
You've got beautiful colours around you.
Betsy, Everything is a little greener down here in the valley but your yard is spectacular. We have redbuds and dogwoods...but unhappily no pink dogwoods. It was chilly this morning but the sunshine is glorious... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
You certainly make our yard look beautiful with your wonderful pictures. I'm glad you like your new lily bed!
great beauty surrounds you! I'm guessing that your front yard would make for some stunning Easter Shoots. The color from all of the gorgeous blooms speaks Easter to me... So very pretty!!
Spring is such a glorious time, and you have captured its beauty perfectly in these photos, Betsy. Your yard looks lovely. Wishing you a Happy Easter!
Hello Betsy, I love the Redbud and the Dogwood trees. They have beautiful blossoms. The Hostas are healthy and pretty. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week ahead!
Love seeing your plants returning. I think I recognize some of them from ones I sent to you. Am I right?
SO PINK! :) love it.
Everything looks so beautiful. It is definitely spring at your house
The Ozarks are full of Redbud and Dogwoods in bloom. Love this time of year. That pink Dogwood is just lovely, only one I have ever seen.
Hope the deer don't come up on the porch for those lilies.
Everything is looking good.
You have so much growth already. I love the blooming trees, they are always so pretty. The snow on my yard is almost gone now and then we can begin enjoying spring.
Gorgeous! Those red buds are stunning.
Looks like things are coming on and very pretty as always.
Wow - spring has definitely sprung where you are! Love the redbuds and forsythia. Oh, and your header is amazing!
Happy Spring!
Hello Betsy, what a wonderful post.
So nice to see that Spring really is springing out in your part of the world.
Your Hosta's look so healthy, that bleeding heart close up is brilliant, and I like the look of your new lily bed (well done George), I think the pink dogwood is gorgeous - my favourite :)
Happy Easter Wishes
All the best Jan
Your pics are so pretty...such beauty in your yard. I too love the pink dogwoods. Thank you for sharing...
It is so good to see your beautiful flowers. We are still waiting for our first tulips to open and leaves to pop open on many of the trees.....but in Easter we have the promise of New Life....a Blessed Easter to you!
Your photos on pink dogwood are mesmerising and also the green hostas and red bud tree paints nice color to your yard. Cute arrangement of Lilly flower pots on your deck and thank George for keeping you happy this way. Hope you feeling good as enjoying the bloom :)
Happy Easter !
I always love visiting to see what's blooming in your yard, Betsy. You are definitely well on the way to your summer garden. I hope the deer can't reach through your deck rails! Friends of mine here in CO planted over 50 lily plants one year and by morning, all were gone.
