Let's start with some sky shots!
Here's the sunset from the 25th of March:
And here's the picture God painted for us on the 28th:
Doesn't that remind you of one of those old paintings? Only better! It was gorgeous!
A couple nights later, we looked to the north and saw this:
Those kind of cloud formations don't mean good things! We were fine here, and hope all of our friends up in Nebraska were OK!!!
Me and Big Mean Kitty, sharing a serene moment! |
We've got a bunch of stuff blooming now! Want to take a look? (Oh... and I just got to play with Big Mean laying down; I didn't get to play Fetch. Not yet! We had fun anyway!)
Aren't they beautiful?!? We wish you could smell them; they're incredible!
Speaking of things that smell wonderful, the Juddi Viburnum are also in bloom:
They have an incredible scent!
We have a bunch of Texas Quince all over the gardens - here's an up-close and personal look at one:
I like that they're from Texas - like me!
Another of our favorites is also in bloom - the Eskimo Viburnum!
Mom likes the white, white blooms and the dark glossy-green leaves. Me and Zim just like the name!
The other Lilac in bloom right now is the Old Fashioned Lilac! It's a deeper color than the "Skidmore" variety!
I really wish you could smell all of these - the fragrance would put you into a very serene place, trust me! But then ... so does spending time playing with Big Mean Kitty!
Have a great Sunday!
Luv,
Dave

Those cloud shots are cool. I love all your blooms especially the lilacs. Did you know that Rochester, NY where I live is famous for its lilac festival? We have a huge public garden with almost every variety you can imagine growing there. Talk about smell. When they are in bloom it is heaven.
ReplyDeleteHave a great, serene Sunday.

Yum a roo. There's a lilac bush down the road that we pass on walks and it's so fragrant that we can smell it from the sidewalk! We LOVE this time of year.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Master said that when she was in college she would run around city park and knowing the lilac bushes were on each corner would keep her running to the next corner (whatever that means).

Nora
Those are beautiful blooms
