One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today." ~ Dale Carnegie ~
Only one bedraggled rose blooming outside my window today.
The One Word photo yesterday and the crocus above is what I found when I went searching in my yard this past weekend. The daphne in the top right corner is just about ready to open it's sweet faces too. This time of year is always so delightful to go on the search and to notice what is just outside my window.
Oh how I wish this were here! Right now we're in an Alberta Clipper phase, one right after the other. I so bad want to be able to walk outside and feel sunshine and warmth on my skin!! Love your spring blooms, enjoy Marilyn!!
That quote about putting off living -- I've been thinking a lot about that one lately. Sort of going through a mental makeover with my physical maladies. Lovely images for this!
It always surprises me at how much earlier your springtime is than ours. Guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but it is. Just snow dusting our gardens right now.

The first Spring flowers are special, Marilyn. I hope you enjoy more special moments today.

We haven't even had winter yet. So weird! It was 57 degrees today. NOT normal for winter in Missouri, I tell you.
ReplyDeleteTom found a crocus in our neighborhood yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad spring flowers are poking their heads above ground in your area. We have snow covered lawns in Michigan and spring is a long way off.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Before heading out I paused outside my front door this morning to check on the progress of things, and I do believe a hyacinth is popping up!
