In Like A Lamb! :)

 March is making a warm entrance, with color, ...

 fresh foliage, ...

 and smiling faces! :)

 Today was perfect for working in the yard and cleaning up another flower bed! :)

 Blooms were vibrant in the sun! :)

It is fun to see how much growth there is since I cleaned other beds! :)

I'm not sure how March is going to go Out, but she's come In like a lamb! :)

Bring On The Color! :)

 After a muted Winter, there's something to be said for color! :)

 Lately I've been enjoying all the variety of color in the sky! :)

 This morning I noticed one of my deck pots was empty and decided to add plants to my list of things to buy! :) I chose red prim roses and cream double prim roses, ...

 euphorbia, ...

 calla lily, ...

 and a white hellebore! :)

 The creams, greens, and reds will complement the outside paint colors we're planning! :)

 The left-over prim roses can be tucked into the flower beds, or in another flower pot! :)

 They are all perennials, so can be worked into the yard at a later time! :)

More flower bulbs are starting to bloom! ... Hurray! ... Bring on the color! :)

Spring's Gentle Call! :)

 One would think Mother Nature is a little confused when one sees both "Red sky at night, sailors delight" and ...

 "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning."

 The truth is that she's on the money, as usual! We've been having nice days with temp's in the 60's, and night's in the frosty 30's! :) The combination makes for colorful skies! :)

 There's new growth pushing beneath last year's spent growth! It's time to get the flower beds cleaned and ready for another season! :)

 The felines love checking out my handy work, and having more space to roam! :)

 It's not a moment too soon, as new life is pushing up through the soil! :)

Now that the soil has thawed, I am starting to get some of the plants in the ground that have been on hold! :)

 It's fun to see last year's nest, before the new leaves immerge and hide them from view! :)

 How I love a blue, blue sky! :)

 Potted flower bulbs are springing into action! :)

 I put a few of them on the front deck, where I can enjoy watching them as they bloom! :)

 The evenings are full of frog's serenade! It's a sound that is music to my ears! :)

 The camellias are in bloom! I almost forgot to look, and would have missed them! :)

 The crocus have the bees all in a buzz, ...

 ... As do the snowdrops! :)

 Some of the hellebores are open and adding a touch of color to the yard! :)

 Most of the plants are right on schedule! :)

 The flowering quince is one that is surprising! It usually doesn't bloom until March and it's jumping the gun this year! :)

 The Mason bees are doing the same thing by immerging in February! :)

Everywhere I look, things are shaking off their slumber and responding to Spring's gentle call! :)
