Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! I used to write several blogs, but thought just concentrating on one would be easier for me and my readers. Sorry, it ends up having several topics in each post!

Our hill has some spring flowers

 


My apartment is perched on a steep hill- the tree to the right of the ramp is where they grow. So the other day I walked down the steep part of that hill to capture some of the smiling faces.




It was harder coming back up because I was wearing backless shoes, and my feet kept wanting to slide out...but I made it!



A very sweet little clump that has avoided the ravages of institutional landscaping, that which is made for the convenience of mowers, mulch and area plantings.

  1. The ladies of spring. That is a nice header. You may have had it for awhile, but I am noticing it today.

    1. Thanks. On my forest/creek walk, this is the furthest I can go. There was a couple coming behind me, but slowly with their dog...so I was grateful to be able to stop and photograph a few views of this idyllic scene. In summer there are some kids that make the pool their swimming hole.

  2. I love seeing daffodils. Thanks for showing these. I planted quite a few last fall but no signs of them yet. Snow on the ground here still.

    1. I am always amazed to find some daffodils blooming on slopes where nobody could live...they were probably thrust up there with machines making a road wider.

    1. Ah, you speak of the return of winter, and I speak of the return of spring. We are actually having cold fronts come through, and snow is possible next weekend.

    1. There are a few other flowers that have popped up, with lots of rain I'm waiting for it to dry out enough to walk to where they are and take their pictures.

  8. Barbara, Love the photo you used as your header! Being here in East Tennessee, we also have forsythias, tulip trees and those invasive Bartlett pear trees all in bloom. As for the brownies you made and are rationing, we just don't ration all that well. It's all about a lack of willpower. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. Thanks...mountain streams have long been a favorite place to visit...I used to go roaming in Smoky Mountain Park also. I forgot to eat a brownie yesterday...they aren't all that enticing. Oh, I want to go looking for forsythias, now that you mentioned them!

    1. You said it...I've got them on today, and if the mud dries up (this is Wed. now) I'll go catch some more flowers in bloom!

    1. Well, I do think things like spring are kind of inevitable, even though slow to appear when we wish them to.

  11. We don't have spring flowers yet, but it won't be too long. The snow is melting a little more each day. In my yard snowdrops are usually the first blooms.
