Come On - GROW!


These beautiful sunny days lull me into thinking of new plants, great gardening ideas, wonderful sweet smelling phlox and roses, bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies flitting here and there. The truth is that we still have over a month before we can really believe these things. We get our worst storms of the year in April and May. So right now they're just beautiful dreams.

Hang in there, Diane! You don't want to lose everything to a late storm. Summer will come.........

Well Diane---it's almost the end of April ---so your good weather cannot be TOO far to go.... Just think how much you will love it once winter is gone for good.

AND---it won't be long until you can enjoy your little cottage!!!!!!! Yeah!!!

Have a great Wed.
Hugs,
Betsy

Beautiful dreams indeed Diane! I just want the reality right now, I want warmth on my bones as I sit on the swing watching nature pass me by!

Hi Diane, I've missed coming to visit you. Just not enough time in the day. I am caught up on your posts now and love the simplicity of each and every one. You always have something nice to share with a lovely photo to accompany. June is a wonderful gal and so nice to see that she inspired you to make such a wonderful wreath. Your cottage looks to be so comfy and cozy. Oh how I would love to live in the thick of nature. I miss it so! I'm trying to change up my blog and still trying to find my way. The header is giving me problems as it doesn't fit right. How did you make your's? I do mine in Scrapblog and then move it over but it isn't quite right. Will have to find time later on to work on it more. Hope you are having a great week. Blessings, Tammy

We have had some nice days also.

Diane, I am in the dreaming stage myself around here. I just know that we will still be getting snow sometime. Last year we got a few flakes the day before May 20th.
I loved your previous post and those darling photos of you girls.
I also think your dad must have had a great sense of humor!
hugs
