Dear Mom,
Just when I thought I wouldn't be writing as much, I seem to be writing more. Maybe that is the trick. Tell yourself you won't write as much which makes you want to write more.
At any rate, I couldn't let these photos just sit in the file after I stepped outside this morning in my robe because I feared if I waited too long the snow might melt, since it is officially spring.
As a kid, I never did appreciate the beautiful roses that you grew. Ruthie and I planted around 200 bulbs of hyacinth and here are a few... in the snow.
Lynn, these photos are so appropriate today! Winter just doesn't seem to want to let go of us, in spite of the beautiful 80-degree day we had earlier this week. Photos like these remind me how tentative springtime can be this early in the game.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Lynn. We're planting and transplanting tomorrow, and we planted phlox last week (we plant some every year now...I want my front yard hill to be covered with the stuff...it is a short bloomer, but so beautiful).
ReplyDeleteI sound so garden friendly, but don't let me fool you. I'm a serial plant killer. I really do try though. I've finally learned to plant hardy things that can tolerate my ignorance.
Gorgoeus photos, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteAaah yes---nature is once again tricked. Those naive flowers! Didn't they know it was too soon to bloom?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Lynn - those hyacinths look as of they're covered in sugar.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature sure played a trick on us. The calendar says spring, but the weather says something else entirely!

These photos were from the other day, but today you can't even see them because of all the snow! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI was mad that we got snow in spring, but your pictures capture the beauty I'd almost forgotten to notice.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photographs, which suited the day perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWOW they grow in the snow?? I'm a dud when it comes to gardening, my excuse is I live in a city! Your garden must be gorgeous in spring!
ReplyDeleteThey actually grew BEFORE the snow hit and amazingly enough they are still up now that the snow has melted.
