April Showers ...


... Bring May Flowers!!!

Bleeding hearts from the mound behind the house.
 

Iris bud in the morning light

 


Native 'mountain' laurel from behind the house will be in bloom soon.

 


Native azalea transplanted from a nearby ditch

 


Dwarf bearded iris near an old beech stump
 


Big beautiful iris along the fence
 


New spider wort that Tona just planted out next to the road

 


Orange azalea in the front yard

 
 


Clematis growing on a cedar fence near the sidewalk.  
It sure make a nice greater as you walk up to the front door!

 



Red azalea in front of the outbuilding with an unidentified guest.


 



Azalea blooms in the fern garden.

 

Spring brings so many wonderful flowers to view and enjoy.  I think they were splendidly designed by God with beauty in mind.  All the vast array of colors, sizes, shapes, and fragrances testify to their Creator.

O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Psalm 8:9 ESV

Hello from Idaho. Your flowers look beautiful! We are starting to see tulips and daffadils (sp) around here but it has been too cold to encourage much to grow. This is the first weekend it has been warm and sunny. We are excited you are coming to see Chad and Angela in a few weeks. It will be good to see you again. Know Chad and Angela are excited too!
Take care. Tom and Kate Mitchell

I love it when you update your blog--I usually get at least one new monitor wallpaper out of it!:-)

Can't wait to see you in a little over a week!

Love,
Angela
