spring was officially here march 20th. our yard has been showing its colors ever since. the sweet peas have outdid their bloom from last year, going above the kitchen window. the smell is wonderful as we go in and out the kitchen door.
this ’brandy’ rose first bloom was big and beautiful
The brandy that jerry took a beating from on the other side of the porch did its best. ⬇️
you can see where it was broke off. that did allow the geranium more room to grow. ⬇️

Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Thanks for sharing the lovely spring flowers. Can’t believe how big the sweet pea is! Meanwhile . . . snow on the prairie. And, I have sometimes had that same kind of Pickles moment when I turn on my computer – what was I going to look up??
Well, your flowers outdid my heart- what a glorious cluster of gardens you have brought to life, Jill. I had just finished getting that very same cartoon ready to send out this week. Guess I won’t have to now! I live in a new world every 30 minutes nowadays. I can’t remember having entered a room knowing why for at least 20 years. Keep up the good work with this beautiful domestic version of your blog.
I love your campsite that’s just right. Maybe I should clean up my yard a little bit and then go camping. that sounds like a good idea. I think I’ll start tomorrow or maybe the day after that well at least soon. I loved your purple panties we used to have pansy’s at one time and then damn dog came and ate them all so we called her pans and Can you believe that love you guys and miss seeing you hope to get together soon
Your yard is beautiful. Enjoyed all the lovely pictures. Brightened my day. Thanks, Celia
Sat down to write but forgot what I was going to say! LOL
Your “campsite” garden is a beautiful reflection of you. Loved seeing it – especially the sweet peas. Very unique. Love, Sharon
