Happy First Day of Spring

13 years ago

Today is the first day of spring and my spring is leaking all over the place. Been raining for days and more to come.

It's been a tough year weather wise for a lot of us, but hope is here.

Below is an Azelia that I planted some 30 years ago and it keeps on ticking.

Below is a photo of Sweet Peas, Little Sweetheart. They have not had much sun since I planted the seeds in the fall, but they are doing their thing.

It's a georgeous first spring evening here, but only the daffs are blooming and since this morning some maples have a shimmer of red.I just can smell your sweet peas. They don't do well in my garden, the time between spring weather and hot temps is too short I think. Envy you for your spectacular azalea.

Beautiful photos!

Our first day of spring is a rainy one, but we're having fun in spite of it.

Ours is cold, wet and dreary and I've been sick as a dog since this past Wednesday.....but, all I have to do is look outside and realize everything is just fine and I'll always be behind and that's fine, too.....spring doesn't need anyone's help---she has her own plan.
