Pretty Flowers

I love the flowers around the house. The previous owners planted all kinds of perennials.


I can't wait for all of the lilies and irises to open



I've never had a rose bush before...I sure hope I can figure out how to take care of it. Suggestions are welcome.


Ireland saw me with the camera and ran outside in her pajamas...silly girl



The rosemary keeps growing


I found this mushroom shaped bird house at an antique shop last week. 


Sorry, no crochet this time. Maybe next time I can show some real progress on the yarn storage. I'm making a little progress...winding one or two yarn balls every day.

I guess I'm just more interested in spending time outside and enjoying spring:)

Have a great week

      Thank you. We are loving it. There are a total of about 9.5 acres, with about 5 wooded acres. So there are lots of grass to mow;)

    Ślicznie tam u Ciebie. Też kocham kwiaty. Domek dla ptaków jest pomysłowy. Pozdrawiam

    You have a beautiful garden, I could happily get lost in it. Your daughter is so beautiful and they know a good moment for pic when they see one. Roses are pretty easy to care for, they like some plant food the correct pruning at the correct time, I believe it is around end of Winter and then again in the early spring (but do check this out for where you are as that will make a difference).

    Whew! I don't blame you! What a gorgeous place to live. Everything is SO green! I live in the high desert so nothing is green here yet. :) Thanks for the eye candy!

    Me too! I've been working outside so much and the fresh air and hard work have me so tired I just fall into bed at night no needlework, no reading...nada! LOL! Your yard is lovely and the mushroom bird feeder is darling! LOVE! I was just getting ready to place a yarn order as I don't have much of a stash really and one of my YOP projects is your Springtime rug but I may make it solid colored for me.
    Your little girl is so cute and I'd like pj's that pretty! I love her name as I am Irish...why didn't I think of that when I had my daughter? But I named her Amy Elizabeth with Elizbeth being a family name. (Liz was what they called my Mom and my Great Grandmother was Lizzie and she was from Ireland). Anyway, Ireland is a beautiful name and a beautiful place which I would love to visit some day. Take care! Happy Spring!

      Thank you. The spring rug done in a solid color is sooooo much easier. I have always wanted to visit Ireland...it is at the top of my bucket list. My daughter Ireland's middle name is Elizabeth as well.
      Happy Spring to you:)
