Beautiful Spring Day in Florida


Hello Everyone. Here it is a beautiful Spring day in Florida and Gary, Margaret and John's cat, thinks he will just sleep in on his little window bed. Usually he is looking out onto the window boxes full of herbs and watching for birds and butterflies and the occasional lizard, but today he is just snoozing!

I took a little walk around the yard and as you can see by the shadow under this pot of Petunias and Snap Dragons, it is a sunny and bright day. We are having temperatures in the 70's .

The sky is so pretty and lots of things are now blooming. I wish you could hear all the birds singing. Right now I am listening to a Cardinal outside my window!

Here is a closer view of that yellow blooming tree in the front of the house. It blooms and then gets leaves. Sorry, I can't find the name of this tree right now and I can never remember it. Perhaps some of you know it and can tell us the name.

I have planted several new rose bushes this Spring and this pink one has huge blossoms. This one is almost ready to fall, but it has hung on for days!

The petunias are so pretty now, but it won't be long until it gets too hot for them. Behind the Petunia is a Heather and a pot of Basil and Oregano.
Have a great day and visit my blog again soon!

  1. I love your story of the falling tree. Not that the fall tree is funny, but our husbands certainly are, aren't they! Your yard and flowers are certainly beautiful. I just finished my blog lamenting our spring blizzard. I am cold and a bit depressed. Your photos warmed me up and your story made me smile. Enjoy your lovely spring. I think Colorado may just skip spring and head right into the droughty summer.

  3. I know, Egretta. Poor daffodils. I see your beautiful garden and warm sun and I just might dream about moving. Only might.
