My office window looks south over the lawn toward the road. The house sits higher than the road, and there’s a raised area and then a gentle slope down the lawn. In that raised area we’ve planted a forsythia bush and a star magnolia.
\nFor some reason, they have been slow to bloom this spring, despite the fact that we had a reasonably gentle winter. But today…..they are both starting to show their glory! I plan to take my trusty disposable camera out to record some of that beauty, so perhaps I’ll be able to share it with you before Spring is over.<\/p>\n
\nOn the north side of the house we have a wonderful patch of naturalized Spring flowers that have a blue bloom. I think they might be “squill” but I’m not certain. One of the joys of living in one place for a length of time is that you get to see how natural things develop and expand. This patch was tiny 15 years ago, and now it’s spread. The best part of it is that the bulbs or seeds must be spread by our wildlife, because I have tiny blue blooms popping up all over the place! What a gift!
\nHappy Spring to you all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
