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,

Garden Anticipation

Posted by MAKMU ta On Wednesday, February 09, 2011

Budding Promises


We're in an every other day pattern here.
One day cold and rainy.
The next bright, warm and sunny.
This morning was brilliantly sunny. 
I have been watching this daffodil for
several days now. I anticipate this will
be the first among many to bloom.


When we moved here, I brought nearly all of our flowers
from our previous home. Among those were several 
daffodils. The majority of the blooms, however 
we rescued. There was once a plantation where
quite a number of bulbs resided.
Generations later the family sold the land to 
a granite mining company. They mined the area
for a while then abandoned it. For several years
the land lay dormant and the daffodils 
bloomed and multiplied. Then, as things would
happen - the land has been resold to another
granite mining company. Several of us 
visited this site prior to rescue as many daffodils as we could.
The land is stripped and barren now - the mining is slated
to begin soon. 
So, each spring I have the blessing of very old
some doubled, daffodils.






The Forsythia is budding too - I didn't 
get very good pictures - I believe
I will be able to bring several branches
in soon to force indoors.


The sun has gone behind clouds now. The air is cooling.
We may get some snow in the early hours of the morning.
I have wished for several years for snow - I love it!
This year is quite a blessed one. Yet, I count the days
until I can be outdoors visiting the garden as
skeletal beings remind me of the beauty they once
were and they begin to awake from a long winter's nap.
As I cleared some debris I found this!
Hello! Helleboro!
What a delight! I had been looking and somehow 
missed her. There are several buds surrounding her.
She bows so you need to lift her head to see her beauty.




A tiny Narcissus is blooming too - someone clipped
her leaves by accident. But, she like many others
are persevering. I am anticipating spring and 
counting the days while I keep watch on all the
changes in my garden. 


Thank you for stopping by!
