GARDEN THERAPY AND SPRUCING UP THE KITCHEN




Good Morning Texas!


Are you playing in the dirt these days?
The Nandina's and the Pansies are still
looking beautiful!


This our Hyacinth I planted last year.
Mother always grew hyacinths in our front yard in Jackson.
Her favorites were deep purples and lavenders
which she started as bulbs in our kitchen windowsill.
I always plant Hyacinths in memory of her.


I planted the Sweet Alyssum seeds last week in these
new planters and look how quickly they are sprouting.
It's so exciting to see what you can grow from seeds!


Each year, I capture the first blooms of our pear tree.
How glorious!!!!


What new plants are you adding to your garden this year?
We are planting more Elephant Ears, Candytufts,
Fragrant Violas and Butterfly Bushes...
it's all about designing a better life!

Over in Atlanta.....


The boys took a ride with Jay on the tractor!
Miss M has a HUGE yard, so this was
quite a joy ride!
Ah...the giggles of little boys!!!!


Miss Kelly got a brand new dining set for her kitchen...
I think it's perfect!!!
Maybe I'll get an invitation to dinner the next time I visit!


Ah.....Piper Rose....
keeping her eye on the boy!
She is getting SO big!!!


Mae Mobley enjoying the warmth of the sun....
Don't you just love the springtime!!!

  1. Love those green pots. We are still waiting for spring to come. Yesterday it was 72 degrees and this morning 30 and snowing. I still cannot believe it.

  2. Your pear is beautiful! They are a favorite tree of mine!

    We are definitely in early spring it goes from warm to cold and blustery, but I saw two robins in the yard on Monday, so it's definitely here to stay!

  3. You certainly have spring time!

    Here, not yet. :-)

    Today it is blowing a gale out there! (As my Brit friends say.)

    And there may be a bit of a change, "in the air". Yesterday it felt like a change, from winter. But the temps still go down, and some get ice/snow. So.... It's still not spring, in the NE.

    Enjoy your in-between time.

    Miss Mae knows how to enjoy, every season. Hugs and pets, to her.....
