Spring Fever Pick Me Up

17 years ago

I guess depresion goes along with this cancer but I was feeling really low today, some pain but I can handle that, so I got my camera and went out to see what Beautiful Mother Nature is doing in my own back yard, thought I would share my photos! Maybe you can help me out by telling me the name of plants and flowers that don't have names I especially the succulents

Thanks so much for being there!

So sorry to hear about all your pain. I wish the magic wand I have really DID work! I'm glad you picked yourself up,got out and made yourself get out with Mother Nature. Your poppies are just GRAND! Ok, so I know three of the plants you have. The 7th photo down is called Clivia (orange flower), teh #11 photos is called Baby Toes and the 13th one I beleive is called Moses Rock or Split Rock. You have some gorgeous succulants.

Fresh air and good flowers are always good for the soul!
Love, Jules

The one above the baby toes, I call 'Hen and chicks'.
I knew the clivia too-Wish it would grow here. I first saw it when we were stationed in Spain and thought it was beautiful!

What wonderful pictures!!! I'm sure being outside did you a world of good! We're still thinking of you! Hope you are feeling better today and are happier too! It's quite a fight after surgery to get back to feeling like oneself!

A woman after my own heart! nanagrandma...thanks for sharing the lovely pics...God's "natural" healing! "Change" sometimes is hard to swallow & the physically healing process sometimes weakens the mental part of healing...you've found a way combat it...your spiritual part is having to work over-time! ...a camera & nature... God bless. Jeanne S.

Those roses are so beautiful! I bet it smells absolutely wonderful in your garden between the roses and the crabapple blossoms.

And what awesome succulents you have! I have always had a weekness for them but right now I get no sunshine in my apartment or on my balcony. So despite their hardiness, they would never survive around here!

With all those wonderful succulents, you might want to try putting together one of Margee Rader's succulent wreaths like the one at the link below at P. Allen Smith's website. I just love her work! (I know I posted this before but her work bears posting again and again in my book! lol)

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures and I hope you are feeling in better spirits very soon!

A gorgeous yard, and your photos are incredible to me! Thank you for sharing them.
Between your family and your yard, it looks like you walk in beauty, and that will heal you faster than anything.

Depression is a terrible thing to deal with, and makes one feel very alone. Just try to remember you are NOT, and we'll send prayers and good thoughts to chase those bad ones away. I hope the pain has eased.

Ohhhhhhhh! Those poppies and roses and crab apple blossoms are beautiful! They sure make it feel like spring. I can't wait for it to come here. I was just talking about planting a crab apple tree with my daughter before I read this post...now I can't wait. Our grass is finally turning green and the birds are having a hay day out here today.

I hope you are feeling better. I know how the depression goes but hang in there...it gets better. Those beautiful blooms had to make you feel better. It is so nice to see you on here again.

Beautiful flowers and plants! Very good photos! I believe the ones someone called split rocks are Lithops. There is another similar plant whose name I can't remember. Not easy to grow around here, not that I havwn't tried lol. It was amusing to me that CA poppies are protected in CA cuz we pull them out by the handfull in some of our garden club beds here. They are gorgeous tho, we love them, and they will grow in the dangerous traffic islands where we don't want ot spend a lot of time tending.
Nice to hear form you, hope your painful days end soon.
