HAPPY SPRING!!!
Psalm 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Ok, so it has officially been spring for one week now and we sure are enjoying the beautiful weather. Brad and I ate dinner on the patio the past few nights and lingered to talk, listen to the birds and just to enjoy the evening.
We worked in the flower beds over the weekend and have restored our own corner of beauty to God's creation! I'm sorry to say our yard and flower beds have been sadly neglected these past several months. So, after a weekend of weeding, planting and mulching... we are now ready to officially welcome spring and Resurrection Sunday; a day of new beginnings!! What a joy to look out and see a large selection of "happy" flowers!
It was too nice to stay indoors all day, so this morning I grabbed my camera and went out to play around capturing some sites in our flower beds! In celebration, I thought I'd let you take a peek!
Our azealas look beautiful this year!
So far this year, the deer have not discovered this little gem of a rose bush!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
These two pictures show two of many flowering plants that a dear friend planted in our front beds the week I had to put our two faithful dogs to sleep. It was a bright spot for me during a difficult time! Thanks Glenda!
Our bougainvillea died out last winter, but we enjoyed their color so much that we purchased new ones over the weekend. Thought we'd give them another try!
I updated some of the potted plants on our back porch. I love to keep a lot of color out there as we can see this area from several rooms inside the house.
Happy Spring to each of you, and may you remember to praise the Creator as well as His Creation!

Beautiful pictures!
Talented photographer! :-)
I can't wait to see them in person next week!
Hugs!
What a gorgeuos garden! I'm curious...how did you get your photos to extend past the text box? I love it!
Erin, Renee & Tracy... thanks for visiting!
Yes, Dear Erin, it is a sad thing to be shut inside this time of year due to allergies! Sorry, I'm afraid you came by that one naturally from your Dad! :-(
Renee...Thank you Dear Friend! We are all looking forward to celebrating Katie and Josh's upcoming wedding!!! Just can't believe how fast these kids are growing up!!
Tracy...Thank you for your compliments. I laugh because you should have seen the flower beds LAST week!! I've NEVER seen so many weeds! As far as the formatting of this blog layout, I wish I could be of more help! To be honest when I was composing the post, blogspot.com had other ideas and kept "re-arranging" my formatting every time I hit the "publish" button. grrrrr. I kept editing the post until it finally behaved in such a way that I found acceptable. When I upload each photo I choose what position I want it to hold (either right, left or center justified). Then I work to place the text around or within the photo placement. It usually takes several tries and involves manually moving each photo around during the edit process. Unfortunately, that can become rather time consuming with a post like this! Does that help?
I'll have to experiment! Thanks for the tips!
What gorgeous pictures!!!
