In The Garden



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.


I am sharing this post with these Delightsome Blog Parties:



Wishing you the most Delightsome weekend,

  1. Nothing poking up in our garden... still too early. But because of the warm weather, our birdies think it's Spring, and so they've been tuning up their Spring whistles and songs (a pure delight).

    I surely enjoyed the tour of your burgeoning spring-filled garden.

    Wishing you more glimpses as the days progress....

  15. Oh Kathy, all your flowers are just beautiful! We've had quite a mild winter and it's felt like spring for over a month already! I love a brisk walk, or stroll, on a sunny, but chilly day, too.

  16. Your garden is so beautiful!!! I'm guessing we will have spring blossoms earlier than normal since we had such a mild winter. But no flowers here yet.

  27. I loved the walk thru your garden. What a nice surprise for you to find this so early. And rain to boot. Even though we have had a nice winter also in the northeast it will be awhile before I see buds. And hopefully a wet spring so we dont have a drought. Cheers. LJ

  35. There is not much happening in our garden yet and if there is I would get pretty wet just trying to take a stroll. I am sure that there are weeds waiting for me but they will have to wait a little while. Thanks for sharing your pictures of your beautiful garden.
