~*Spring Time Goodies*~

Hello Dear Friends! Happy Spring! I thought I would share some of our surroundings with you...

Tommy sitting in the poppies... just enjoying the sunny day...
Brownie resting after chasing the rabbits most of the morning...
When Tommy isn't just relaxing... he is picking on OC... poor OC... he is scared he is going to be clobbered any second. He is timidly walking away from Tommy...
Tony was working on greenhouse repairs over the weekend. The Kansas winds have really done a number on it. Tony is putting up a new door on it and has plans to replace many of the panels with wood. I'm thinking it is going to be more of a 'potting shed-greenhouse' when it is complete... and I am happy as pie about that!
We have bees again this year! This time they aren't in our barn walls though... they are in a hollow trunk in our woods...
I've spotted many beautiful butterflies the last few days. This afternoon I was lucky and was able to snap a picture of one.
The lilacs are blooming beautifully...


Hosta are opening their big leaves...

The phlox are lookin' pretty too...
I can't remember what these blue blooms are called... but I'm still likin' how they are lookin...

And all our Redbud trees are just magnificent right now...

Wishing you all warm smiles...
Betty

    You can't remember what the blue flowers are because they are "Forget me Nots"! ;-) I love all of your springy pictures--and your greenhouse will be great as a potting shed.

    I was laughing at the Forget Me Nots too! :-) Love those lilacs! I had to cut mine down because Bob was allergic to them... they were right outside the window and would scent up the whole inside of the house! Ahhhhhhh Spring! Happy dance!

    Loved looking at all of the Spring flowers. I think mine died from the snow we got here in Michigan like Cindy said..only ours came this morning. I use to have a yellow lilac until the bunnies ate it to the bare wood, and then my son chopped it down with the lawn mower many years ago. LOL. Janice

    What a lovely post with so much color Betty! I can't wait till next month to plant some flowers in pots for the porch.
    Hoping your greenhouse is fixed just to your liking, and holds up to those Kansas winds. They must do a real number out there..

    What wonderful pictures. My neighbor has a huge lilac bush and brings me bouquets. I always thank her but actually I'm allergic to them. I sneeze but I keep them, so pretty its worth having a stopped up head! heehee
