New Dawn grows over the arbor, and in spring, it is absolutely breathtaking.
I'll just let you enjoy the roses.

New Dawn...
One of my favorite places in my garden is my rose arbor.

A spring day...
Finally! The Tulip Poplar trees are getting their leaves. This is such a welcome sight!
My chickie dudes like the spring day, too. Here they are, back in their pen ~ for safety. But earlier, they got to wander around the yard, scratching and pecking. Yes, they are hens, but I still call them my dudes.
Daffodils! So sunny and cheerful. I didn't realize that I had a white one.
A Muscari has seeded itself at the edge of the stone path. Isn't that how we are sometimes? Trying to grow in a difficult, "rocky" place?
Another brave little plant growing in the rocks. A reseeded Johnnie.
The blooms on this Veronica are tiny, but oh, so beautiful. I love the blueness of them.
These are Tete a Tete Daffodils that I planted in the fall. I think they are so charming.

Spring!!!
Spring officially arrived earlier this week. On Thursday, March 20th, to be more specific. At 12:58 in the afternoon, to be exact. And, so far, the weather has co-operated and been pleasantly mild since Spring began. It's been a tough winter here this year. I can tell my plants have suffered. Some may not make it. And others show damage from the cold.
My forsythia has blooms on it. The harbinger of Spring. The plant itself looks pretty sad, but at least there are some clusters of bright yellow.
Every year I tell myself that I am going to transplant the periwinkle so it will grow under the forsythia. They bloom about the same time and the blue and yellow together would be so charming. Maybe this is the year...
My camellia bush is blooming. I hate to say things like this, but it doesn't really look very good. The fungus that attacks camellias is having a heyday with my bush. This flower looks okay, though. I have fond memories of picking camellias when I was a little girl.
My blue hyacinths smell so good! And, of course, the color is incredible! I love having them in my garden.
Some of my muscaris are are blooming. They aren't doing well this year. I don't know if part of it has to do with the wicked winter. I do know part of it has to do with the deer. My neighbor doesn't have his dog any more and the deer have decided that my garden is a lovely place to eat. And, guess what... They seem to really like my muscaris. If you look, you can see the chomped leaves.
I bought this hellebore as a tiny seedling at a Cooperative Extension garden sale probably about five years ago. This is the first year it has bloomed! I'm so excited! I love the pale pink and pale green tints in it. Several weeks ago, the deer had eaten its leaves, but thankfully they haven't discovered the flower yet. And I think there is another bud on it, too.

Yes, Spring is coming...
About this time of year, I start to think that Spring will never come again. Maybe that's why there are crocus ~ to remind me that, yes, there is hope. These yellow crocus are starting to close up for the evening. They are growing in a tub near the lavender crocus I blogged about in the last post.
Today I found my first daffodils of the year. These are short Tete a Tete daffodils. So cute! So charming!
And Muscari!!! You know I am excited about seeing these blooms!
A lovely yellow Johnnie for you.
Have a beautiful day!

Hello, again...
Well, it's been awhile, hasn't it?
I've been desperate for spring and look what I found today!
These crocus are growing in a low tub underneath some trees.
And soon there will be more.

Anticipation...
As fall darkens into winter, the bleakness increases, drawing me down. It is easy to think that months must pass before there are any signs of life and newness reappearing in my garden. But I have noticed, if I look carefully, I find niches of hope for the coming warmth. Even as the leaves of a hydrangea are falling, the beginnings of young ones are emerging.
New leaves of Iris pallida are forming.
Hidden bulbs are starting to show, telling me to hang in there, that spring will come.
The tendrils of sweet peas show the promises of a much larger vine and of the fragrance of the blooms to come in spring, while the little Johnnies will bolster me through the coming winter.
