Behind the Scenes

Song - Unchained Melody cover by Austin Brown

 

 

Just when you think there is nothing going on because it is winter......just take a walk outside.

 

 

 Here is some happiness in my garden just yesterday....

 

 

 

 A white camellia just outside my office window

 

 

 

 

 The rosemary is full of blooms and bees

 

 

 

 

 

 The hellebore is getting ready to bloom.  I just love this winter plant!

 

 

 

 My dogwood buds are getting plump

 

 

 

 

 Heard this plane and caught it as it flew past the moon

 

 

 

 

 My narcissus are ready to pop!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I have had a plethora of lemons and limes this year

 

 

 Alyssum flowers have reseeded everywhere

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A lovely begonia that I got from my mother

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I planted several six packs of pansy's in the front yard but as you can see the deer love them!

 

 

 

 

 

 I have two urns of salvia that usually bloom late summer and through fall

 

 

 

 

 

By our front porch we have a Strawberry Madrone tree and I love how the bark peels off each year

 

 

 

 Here are her flowers....

 

 

 

 

 

 Daphne should be in full bloom and scent in a few days.  

Another winter favorite!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Some old primroses are popping though the garden leaf clutter

 

 

 

 This is an azalea that a friend bought for me when my father passed five years ago.

It blooms year round.

It is amazing!

 

 

 

A little snowdrop pushing her way though the earth

Midlife: when the Universe grabs your shoulders and tells you “I’m not f-ing around, use the gifts you were given.”
