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.

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,
