Flowers Are Starting to Bloom

Every day when I walk out the front door, my eyes zoom in on our front yard flower garden.


It's just a small round circle but it holds a lot of hope for some pretty blooms.

See the tree trunk in the middle, where the pot is sitting?  There used to be a big, beautiful tree growing there. It shaded half of our front yard.

When it got some kind of disease and dead branches kept filling the front lawn, we had to have it taken down.

I thought my heart would break that summer day since trees are so special and seeing them cut down makes me very, very sad.

 However, in this case, there was no choice.     

Last fall I found muscari and tulip bulbs.  I already posted about that  here.

 In my mind's eye, I wanted the gorgeous blue colored muscari to share space with all pink tulips.

Mother Nature, however, wanted more of a rainbow of flowers because the "pink" tulips are turning out to be white, red, and even yellow!

It's so exciting to see each new little blossom looking up to the sky.


The muscari are very picturesque.

 Next year I'll double the amount of bulbs we plant so they'll come in thicker. They are still beautiful, though.

This is such a lovely time of year. Even though the temps are still quite cool, I love it.

When the sun pours down, it warms everything up. 

Sometimes I just stand out in the yard, look up, and let the sun illuminate my face. 

Do you do that, too?

In the meantime, I sure hope you enjoy each moment of this precious day.  You deserve it!

Today we are joining Home and Garden Thursday on Kathy's blog, A Delightsome Life.
