Ahhh, the wonderful sights of spring!! I just love it! In fact, I just got back from a walk with my hubby. One gorgeous day here and well deserved, I think!! What a lovely and thoughtful thing for Terri to do, but she is just that way, a sweetie!

I simply love the bleeding heart.
I planted a Florida native bleeding heart but it froze. I am hoping it too returns.

Spring in your yard is Beautiful! Your camera skills and interpretation aren't too shabby, either.

Don't you just love spring? Beautiful photos.

I am so jealous of your garden! I only see all these spring flowers but can't plant them here...maybe we can but we dont have most of the seeds here. I was laughing away when I read your comment..eating that old turtle, what did you make..it's normally soup here..though I have never tried that. And, more goodies..what can I say...you are again, one lucky bunny, or a lucky duck? I read somewhere someone called another person a lucky duck..dont know if there's such an expression, its new to me :D

Spring is in the air... Yippee!! I just potted some lovely flowers and set them on my front porch steps. It's nice to see things growing again. x

The snippets fabric is so cute. Terri is so thoughtful. I knew that pic was flowering pear. We have 3 of them. They are beautiful right now. Your yard is lovely. All your hard work pays off. I'm stuck inside!!

I love your bleeding hearts! Mine don't grow well for me.

I am way behind on blog visits as well, so I understand! And I can't get down the stairs to my sewing machine these days. We'll just have to catch up when we can.

Glad you finally have Spring.
