Actually seeing growth now in the garden, even though the ground is still damp from soaking rains. Very little sunshine along with cool days has been the norm for the past few weeks. A lesson in patience. If Mother Nature wants to slow things down, who are we to argue and complain with Her.

What pleasure there is to walk through the yard and observe the return of perennials after a long, harsh winter. Imagining these hardy souls buried beneath many feet of snow who then rouse themselves to break away from that deep slumber to rise and climb towards sun and sky. I definitely see a metaphor there, don't you?
Sending out blessings for a wonderful, creative, happy week....maybe not so much rain, if possible.
And now for some squirrel acrobatics....a daily exercise (forgive the photos, taken through the window screen)

Hi Robin ;o) I was just walking around my garden yesterday. I thought somethings had died, but they have all came up! I love what you said- "Imagining these hardy souls buried beneath many feet of snow who then rouse themselves to break away from that deep slumber to rise and climb towards sun and sky. I definitely see a metaphor there, don't you? " Love your pictures as always and aren't those squirrels cute ;o) Many blessings to you my friend ;o)
Stacy, thanks a bunch! And enjoy the discoveries in your garden. Robin.
Love it! Guess lots of people have been out and about in their gardens snapping photos. Makes me happy.
I love squirrels :-)
Our Lupines only have leafs yet but my clematises are a bit ahead of Yours :-)but no buds on any iris yet.
Have a great day!
Christer.
Dark Mother, it is very enjoyable to stroll through the gardens of the blog-o-sphere.just about everyone I follow has a garden!
Christer, how odd that we have a lot of the same plants, and there all at different growths.
Your gardens are looking so happy and lovely. :0) Especially the Lupine. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Gotta love the squirrel pics! ;)
We are supposed to have weather in the 80's here - no rain. We shall see, my friends!
Blessings to you as always,
Kim
Jeanne, thanks for the very nice comment, I appreciate that.
Your gardens are looking healthy and beautiful, can't wait for that iris to open up; they're one of my favorite flowers!
I'm glad I'm not the only one with an acrobatic squirrel in the yard. :)
Thank you so much for your sweet well wishes.
Danni, I guess life would be a little dull without those furry rodents!
Mina, get well!
Giggle - crazy squirrel!
I love when everything starts blooming. It's such a boon to the spirits after a long Winter!
