Spring Garden

I can feel spring is in the air today. I hear my garden remonstrating me. Please come out here and clear these leaves away. Bulbs are beginning to bud, come and see. Rose bushes need pruned, the trestle is falling. "Wake up! Get moving!" the garden's calling.

Well for sure a hedgehog Eve. My brothers two Jack Russels had it in a ball under my deck not so long ago. Poor thing. But it survived.

Spring in January? Where the heck are you;-). Oh, in the mind. I'm slow on the uptake. Loverly leaves. When they lose their beauty, blow 'em into the neighbor's yard:-). Cheers and huggerootchskies ~ john

My other option was CALL OF THE WILD, but I decided that was too tweet John. What do you think? We here feel like it's spring only because our winter has been so mild....so far.

Sounds beautiful Judy. Scented roses are especially nice to be around. I think I need to feed mine more this year.

From now on, each month brings new wonders. I am always peaceful when I am there. After just getting a parking ticket, I think I best head out there now.... Thank you for taking the time to swoon Harry.

It's for the 6x10 contest Connie. Those Autumn colours always make my knitting fingers itch to get started as winter draws in. Thank you for stopping by.

That's one of the reasons I am loath to clear the paths Olive. I also love their colour. Thank you for your lovely comment.

Looks like you don't need a spark, you need a controlled burn. That'll clean it up...

How about one of those blow thingies Charlie? A controlled burn might set my house on fire. Good idea though.
