Little Spots of Color

My garden suffers during the winter.

I get home too late each night to garden.

It seems like I never have time on the weekend or it is too cold to garden.

I had planned on lots of gardening time during spring break, but now we will be gone most of the vacation.

Fortunately, mother nature is doing her part and my garden is beginning to show signs of flowers.

My favorite daisies are popping up

and one lone carnation has bloomed

along with these little purple flowers planted by the birds all over the yard.

In the front a little bouquet of nasturtiums has popped up

and there is a little bit of pink along the side.

I would love to boast that my poppies are alive and thriving, but alas, this wonderful display belongs to Julie across the lane.

Usually my cow jumping over the moon is surrounded by daisies, calla lilies and coreopsis, but at the moment there is only greenery.

With plenty of rain today,
I have high hopes of spending Easter weekend gardening
and
seeing my yard full of color.
