In The Garden

Posted by MAKMU ta On Saturday, February 18, 2012



Before The Rains




I am in my own world when I am in the garden. 
I put my favorite music on, get on my knees and get close
 to the plants I adore and to work in the surrounding soil.



We are to get some rain late this afternoon, so 
I am doing some much needed cleaning and weeding.



With our warm winter, we have a plethora of weeds!



My daffodils, snowdrops and such seem to be beaming in 
the morning sun. Their abundance this year touches my heart.



So, I decided to take a moment to stroll around my garden 
to capture some of the cheerful blooms dancing in the breeze.



There are bees buzzing about these fragrant blooms – 
one would think it springtime.



Springtime always comes early to A Delightsome Life.



Stroll with me, imagine the warmth of the sun on 
your back with a slight chill to the air.



High clouds are dancing across the sky and the sun 
seems to be flirting in and out of them.



We are to have quite a lot of rain later this evening. I am very
 thankful for the abundance of winter and early spring rains.


Our summers are notably quite hot and dry.


Do you see the early signs of spring in your garden?


I hope you enjoy this walk with me. I must now get 
back to my gardening. I do appreciate your visit.

Wishing you the most Delightsome weekend,

Early Spring

Posted by MAKMU ta On Friday, January 20, 2012



There’s a light rain outdoors as I stepped out with the cats
 to see what is going on in the garden.


I noticed our two, very large rosemary bushes at the front were filled with blooms. These are the first since the extreme pruning I gave them last year.



The Hellebores are filling up with their shy, but gorgeous blossoms.


One by one, the daffodils are bringing drops of sunshine here and there in our garden.



Still blooming, the fragrant, star-like Narcissus are shining brightly.


With our unseasonable warm weather, I have early chores to do – weeding! But, it gets me closer to the ground, closer to the soil and to the budding flowers that I so look forward to each year.


Oh, how marvelous it is to share in the beauty God creates –
 for his glory and for our appreciation.

Garden Notebook

Second Act
or

Prelude
I was sharing with my neighbor this past weekend that I felt this year my garden was like an orchestra tuning up for a beautiful symphony. I walk around and see the garden filling up with plants and blooms - buds are just at the brink of opening.
Some have made an appearance as if to say - stay a while -there's more to come. 


The Columbine





The Helleboro


The Iris



Jacob's Ladder


Mock Orange



Pansies




The Peonies


The Roses

Queen Elizabeth

Knockout Rose



One of the roses that was given to me by my gardening friend,
my neighbor says he remembers this rose growing in his
grandmother's garden - I hope to identify it this year

Memorial Day - a very fragrant rose - the first few
are very large - it is a little washed out looking in this photo -
direct sunlight - it is really a deeper pink

You will see more of this rose later this evening in my
A Return to Loveliness post

Yellow Roses and Yellow Iris are getting very close to blooming

Coming Attractions


I saved the containers from Rotisserie Chickens
thinking they'd make good mini greenhouses. So far so good.
After the seeds immerged, I placed them outdoors to get morning sun.
