Look What Can Happen..

..when you are indoors painting and wallpapering for 5 days. None of these were out on Monday.
This is the first year the RedBud has blossoms.
Violas in the rockbed..
Bleeding Heart nearby..
Little blue flowers in the grass.. I have no idea what they are. But they are going to get mown over I'm afraid..boo-hoo...
Lilacs. THESE just started to open today. I know they were not out there yesterday, because I did look out my window there and did not see them.
And remember my nine little Spring Beauties that I was afraid to pick and put in my white lady vase? Now I think there must be 49 of them out there. Still not picking them. I'll let them flourish...
Next week it is supposed to snow. Hope they are wrong about that!
I have a lot of catching up to do all the way around. Funny, but no emails or crafting happened while I was working on the ceiling and walls.

Hope your weekend outlook is splendid!

Your flowers are so pretty! We are a little behind here, but the forsythia is finally blooming and the lilacs will bloom in a few days. Nothing beats the fragrance of lilacs!

I went to Paducah on Wednesday and returned last night (Friday). None of my iris' were even showing signs of budding soon when I left. I came home last night and I couldn't believe how much my hostas had grown and the iris' will be blooming in the next day or so. That's so amazing to me!

Your flowers are beautiful. Hopefully if it snows it won't freeze, too.

Its all so beautiful. Your spring has come much sooner than ours. My pussy willows aren't even out yet but they are late ones. And most of my spring bushes aren't nearly ready to bloom. Soon though. Soon. Thanks for the pics at your house. Good luck with the work. Tomorrow you can rest for a bit and sometimes I look forward to Sunday because I won't work and I can take it easy (and church, of course).

Have a nice Sunday,
nanette

Lovely photos. I've been out in the garden with the camera too. It's Spring wonderful! Could the flowers in the garden be speedwell? Sorry don't know the latin name.

Hi Eileen. Thanks for the comment. The loops are called rouleau loops and are usually intended for use as a button fastening, that is my variation on use!!
I'm afraid I didn't take any pics in Scotland. I go that often(my in laws live there) that I always forget the importance of my camers when I go. Sorry!!

Yes, I think the little blue flowers are speedwells too! Fran (a lurker!)
