Yesterday Spring came by to say she's on her way back to town.
The sun was shining, and a friend showed up to play.
It was perfect weather for waking the roses
with a little pruning,
Cutting back and cleaning around fresh faces turned toward the blue sky.
Pots were pulled out of our little makeshift greenhouse.
Some friends, I thought lost forever during last year's heat, showed up with renewed courage
for another southern summer.
One long forgotten euphorbia was found laying on it's side trying to reach the sun,
all the while showing off her blooms.
Roger cleaned out a few containers and planted cool weather lettuces and herbs, while
I discovered a possible new boarder....
Do you see the bit of fur?
If all goes well we will have a baby rabbit.
Before the sun could bid it's farewell,
dark clouds sauntered in whispering in Spring's ear,
"Wait, your time is yet to come".
Today there is rain with only the slightest chill.
I'm not disappointed.
Everything is getting a bit of nature's healing nectar, and
thanks to a sweet and generous friend,
I have a new book to study.
Enjoy your day...
Spring is on her way.
I promise!
I yes, PROMISES PROMISES are in the air, the trees and under the snow. I am sure to see some bunnies hopping around soon too, Bonnie! Isn't it exciting?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming by today! Anita
It's nice to see she's stopped by your place. She's done a good job of stirring things up in your garden.
ReplyDeleteNow, could you send her up here?
Beautiful pictures, Bonnie! Can't wait to meet the new boarder!

So many pretty photos! It is still gray and snowy here, but temps are on their way up, and my Dad and I agreed to call one another if we spotted anything spring-like. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

You are a week or so ahead of us and aside from the bulbs peeking their heads out of the ground, the only thing I have blooming is my Lenten Rose (yours is so pretty). . But there are promises.......
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing better.
Glad to read that you've had time to potter. After some lovely weather, we're back into snow showers and desperately cold temperatures. Hopefully it won't last! Jx
ReplyDeleteCan I come visit...or live. We had a blizzard yesterday...10 more inches of snow and I'm stuck inside the house again. Do you really "promise!?" :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see how far along you are. We are about two weeks behind you. There does seem to be hope!
ReplyDeleteA very inspiring post, thank you Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLove, love your photos . . . convinced me, spring is not far away . . . especially seeing the Helebore . . .
ReplyDeleteThank you for the spring cheer . . .
My goodness...everything looks fabulous!!! I cannot even begin to imagine getting ready for Spring yet...we had snow today, again.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well for the little rabbit, they are so cute even if they eat up the hard work one does in the garden.
I hope you have a wonderful week! Elizabeth
Lovely almost Spring post..............better keep the little lettuces out of the baby bunny's reach - they'd make a tasty luncheon!
ReplyDeleteI see my euphorbia coming back a bit too, and the small magnolia tree I planted a couple of year's back is in bloom surrounded by bright tulips. Raining this morning so all will look fresh later when sun is promised.
I loved that book - passed it on to my teenage granddaughter - love to inspire youngsters with poetry and words.
Happy week Bonnie -
Hugs - Mary
Bonnie - such a beautiful post...you captured my longing for spring in one post. We up north are not quite a far along as you dear southerners but there are signs here too. Thanks for lifting my heart - hope yours received a lift as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie...but I'm enjoying my day because autumn is coming...both spring and autumn bring relief from the other two, harsh seasons. How much, I can see in your photos, you must be yearning for the warmth and re-birth, while I cannot wait for the heat to subside, to let the world relax.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful entry bonnie, it just made me smile!!
ReplyDeletespring is almost upon us here at the jersey shore and thanks for reminding me, i must go and wake up my roses!!
Oh how I love that little squirrel! HI BONNIE! Thank you so very much for coming over to comment! May you enjoy a peaceful weekend and Spring is truly coming, I KNOW IT! Anita
ReplyDeleteIs there anything better than a new book?
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of your garden. Spring is a little further away for us - but hopefully not too long!
