Spring Awakening

I just love spring, the flowering dogwood looks like clouds floating on tree limbs, what a view to behold.

My Iris's are starting to bloom, usually the white start first.

White adds much to a garden, my mother-in-law had given me alot of my Iris's, her yard is full of them.

This is one of my favorite azalea's, my friend Ruth had gotten from someone who had used it in her house for easter and was going to throw it out, I planted it under my kitchen window.  I added the fence in front of it, it makes me think of the gardens of Charleston S.C. where I love to go and wander through them to get ideas.  My hosta is starting to come up, and I have added a bench behind it with one of many watering cans my aunt Dottie had given me.  One of my favorite places to sit in front of.

I just love this bird house, it sits in the corner of my white picket fence, in the summer the blue hydrangeas my husbands grandmother or as my son called her old nanny had rooted for me, they are very special now that she is gone. They make such a statement next to the white fence, which needs painting, one of my many projects. But don't you just love spring awakening, my favorite time of the year.  Vicky
