I love the clusters of dark pink buds on our crab apple trees. They are just about to unfurl into millions of tiny florets at any moment. Oh, the suspense. I can hardly wait.
Yesterday I was in the garden admiring the tulip buds and this morning they were in full bloom. You've got to be quick. Don't take your eyes off anything for a minute or you might miss the show. That reminds me, it's garden tour time again. We have a list of gardens in the surrounding areas we like to visit during spring and summer. Our list keeps getting longer as we discover new places to explore.
What a difference a little sunshine makes.
This 'Candy Tuft' is as sweet as it looks. Again, moving in quickly with the camera before the deer and rabbits find out it's in bloom. Shhhh. It never seems to last long around here once word gets out.
If you are still waiting for spring to arrive in your neck of the woods, you can always feast your eyes on this book. It was delivered only moments ago, and it has to be one of the most beautifully executed and photographed books I've ever seen. It's a big hardbound book full of flowery inspiration, all folded and fashioned from paper! I don't really have time to take up any new hobbies just now, but it is wonderfully fun eye candy just the same. (I can hear the girls in the other room ooohing and ahhhing with every turn of the page!)
