Kissed by freezing rain
Daffodil’s resilience
Shines with springtime glow

I took this with my iPhone this morning in my yard.
Blossoms
Blossoms and Blue Sky
Blue sky and blossoms
Reminds us that Spring is here
Cardinal’s sweet song

Bursting Beauty
Pink pear buds bursting
shiver in the cold night air
Glorious Springtime

Blossoms to Beans
I am sad to see the beautiful purple hyacinth blossoms falling as the bees and humming bird suck out the last bit of nectar. Pollen has been passed around freely by all, and the cool breath of Fall is creeping in behind shortened days. In place of the blossoms purple seed pods emerge carrying on new life from season to season.
Bean blossoms preserved
Hidden within purple seeds
Fall is here once more
Flight of the Bumblebee
This morning I saw that the bumblebees were enjoying my mint tea that has gone to seed. Like many other things, when summer comes it grows flower tops and makes seeds. I was planning to cut it back in hopes of getting more fresh green stalks, but I put it off and now it is food for the bumblebees!
Bumblebees flitting
Mint flowers’ summer blossoms
Drinking Sweet Mint Tea
Click and enjoy the music…

Remembering a Life
Today we planted a flowering pear tree in the back yard to remember Ruth’s father. Some dear friends gave us money awhile ago to make the purchase. With spring in the air and temps in the high sixties, it seemed like a good day for this project. We are looking forward to seeing it bloom each spring and thinking of Dad. It will be a great addition to our yard.
A day to reflect
Memories of dad will blossom
With the warmth of Spring
