Now on to my post about
my garden flowers....
well, 
um, 
they just haven't bloomed yet!

You have heard me going on
(and on and on)
about our spring being very late
to arrive this year.

It has been cold and rainy here,
until yesterday -- 
it hit 85!

And believe me,
I am loving every little 
sunny degree
of it.
So completely ready for the warmth.

So on Monday,
(knowing I had to post my flowers on Thursday,)
I had to run to our local greenhouse
and buy some goodies to share.

So here are a couple shots 
of the old chicken coop nesting bin
on the back side porch.
It's filled with little pots of
ivy and purple blue pansies.
I also grabbed a couple hydrangeas --
the larger one smells heavenly!
I never knew a hydrangea
could smell so lovely.

Will take more shots and add them later. Running off to work right now!

So go snap some pics of your flowers

and come back and show us 

the fruits of your
