Spring!

Lady Gus Gus enjoying the tulips.

My favorite flowers from my favorite fella.

Today we celebrate six years of marriage!

The Poppies are blooming! This Spring we established a new garden on the side of the house. We sowed some Poppies and Lupine. You can read about it here. The poppies have been blooming for the past few weeks. They are beautiful and there are many more blooms to come. The Lupine has yet to bloom and its not looking promising. We'll wait and see if they come in before the end of the summer.

The forsythia in our side yard is looking amazing against the blue sky today.

In honor of Spring. The sun is shining. My poppies and lupine are sprouting!
I came across this installation, Falling Garden, by Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger on the Jealous Curator. It took my breath away!

More crocus love. The purple ones appear as the yellow ones fade away. Spring is here!

Hello Spring! The crocuses are blooming. Excited to establish the new garden this weekend!

Even though there is snow on the ground, my thoughts are turning to Spring and gardening! I am planing on establishing a new garden on the side of the house and my seeds arrived this weekend. We are going to plant Poppies and Lupine after the snow melts. I can't wait!

Poppies that were growing in my neighbor's garden this summer.
