Slideshow of our Spring Flowers

This is a slideshow I made from pictures of our Spring Flowers and the State Park 2 blocks from our house. Hope you enjoy!

Spring Has Arrived In My Neighborhood

A View
of My Neighborhood

Yesterday I took a walk with my camera in hand and took pictures of the world going on outside the walls of my house. A walk to the park which was alive with activity; ducks, pigeons, beavers, turtles, rabbits and even a couple of snakes sunbathing on the warm rocks. I caught a shot of the water rushing across the rocks and the water drops in the picture seem to be in still motion. A bug happily crawling on the pear blossoms in my yard, my beautiful purple Hyacinths beginning to bloom in vivid colors from blue to purple. The Bluebird who has returned again this year to claim the birdhouse in our backyard. The little purple wild pansies and the clover with honey bees already busy gathering pollen. I made a mosaic of all the gifts of Mother Nature from her busy world that goes on around me every day. We can enjoy all of it if we just take the time to look.

Byrum Gardens

Ahhhhhhhh Spring!! I am so happy spring is almost here. I love keeping a blog on my gardening as the year progresses. Spring is the promise of all things new and so we being again. It is February 2009 and we have been clearing the woods and preparing the beds for planting. Perennials are already peeking out of the ground, Iris', tulips, day lilies, chrysanthemums just barely visible. The blue birds are dancing their mating dance around the blue bird house and the days are growing longer and warmer. We have many plans for our gardens this year!
