hello everyone. here we all are, still at home. most of us with no big tables of food and no large groups of people sitting in the chairs. no ham. no scalloped potatoes. no fresh green beans. no cheesecake. we have to observe church services over the internet and tv. i guess Easter egg hunts will still take place within families with small children. i’m not very knowledgeable about Passover, but i guess the same problems and dilemmas face us all.
my cherry tree has traded pretty pink flowers for budding leaves now. i knew they weren’t going to last long, but luckily new pretty flowers are blooming all over the yard. as i said, we have switched sides of the front yard. it’s still a work in progress.
the butterfly garden over here and — the new beach campsite over here.
can you see the heart
this orchard has been blooming for over 25 years
this dutch iris was in a load of dirt we got from your back yard elizabeth before it was your house. how long have you lived here?
remember distant drums? who could forget
how long ago did you buy me this ‘french lace’ tracy?
and tony what about this ‘amore’?
i haven’t grown sweet peas in a long time
smells so good
and of course my all time favorite ‘brandy’
i don’t want to make light of this, but as we get farther into the virus and it takes more and more away from us, lets still be thankful for all the things we still have. this will be a memory by next year. an unpleasant one, but it has taught us something we probably needed to learn. so let’s be more prepared by then.
we went for a drive yesterday and enjoyed a beautiful day on the coast.
stay tuned

Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Beautiful flowers. God gives us beauty and is with us in the midst of the storm. Thanks for sharing your lovely flowers with us. They reflect your heart. I did see the heart by the way. Looking forward to seeing the blog of your trip up the coast. Love you – Sharon.
I saw the heart! and heard the heart and soul and felt the unspoken hugs…
Looking at this post reminds me of going to my grandfather’s house when I was a child and all the beautiful flowers and the gardens that he had thank you very much for the great memories your house looks beautiful it looks like you’re having fun with your yard
thank you guys for always responding with such kind words and love. as you know i love to get comments. i can’t wait to post the finished yard. it has been fun transforming it yet again.
Thanks for sharing the photos – we’re still brown and gray and snowy out here. That French Lace was a gift in the mid-80s! Amazing!
Wow, the flowers are beautiful! I think ‘Amore’ is the best! And yes, I CAN see the heart this time! Very nice pictures!
Thanks Tony. You gave the amore. I guess that’s why you picked it out.
