Forsythia and Daffodils

In the garden March 19, 2012...forsythia and daffodils. It's been unseasonably warm for this time of year. Some years there has been snow on the daffodils.

Crocus

I know spring is near when I see the crocus start popping up in the lawn.

Daffodils

It snowed on top of them today. I took this last week when it was in the 70s.

Crocus

What a pleasant surprise to look out my back door and see these all over the yard. I never know where they will pop up from year to year but I feel I may now be on may way out of my winter slump.

Geraniums

Geraniums are like weeds. This is one I brought in from the deck in September and put in a sunny south window. It has never stopped blooming.

My DH Cut The Cheese

My DH has taken up cheesemaking now and has finally cut the cheese - Camambert cheese to be exact. We had some apples, grapes and homemade wine to celebrate the success of his new hobby. I suppose raising goats won't be far behind.

Autumn

My, grandma, what tall zinnias you have!

What's this "tickle weed" doing in with the zinnias?

Stop and smell the flowers, grandma.

Zinnias are another one of my favorite flowers. I save the seed from year to year and give packages of seed to friends for Christmas. Hopefully the next generation will carry on the tradition.

Joy!
