 Daffodils and Hyacinth

The flowers are in bloom and bow their pretty heads in the cold

and snow the morning of April 9'th, 2010.

The sun came out and melted the snow and then illuminated the

flowers. The yellow and purple mix of flowers in the Spring is so

very beautiful and just the beginning of the display to be enjoyed

until the killing frosts in the fall. This summer's goal is to have plenty

of flowers to cut for bouquets, and to have plenty of flowers that

will keep the hummingbirds happy. I love to hear the flutter of their

wings, it's usually startling at first, as it sounds like a monster

bumble bee. They are so tiny and beautiful. Very hard to photograph!

As a realtor, I spend a lot of time on the phone and on

the computer, so gardening is a peaceful outlet for me. And a few weeds,

and a bit of grass in the garden is no big deal to me! As long as I can

see, smell and pick the flowers anytime I want, I'm happy as can be!

The flowers are so pretty against the backdrop of snow!  Our temperature should reach 80 degrees today.....I think any chances of snow for us are over until next winter.

Roy, You're welcome and those daffodils are picture perfect! Very beautiful!

Barbara, The sunnier the location the more in bloom, my neighbors are in shade and barely beginning to bloom. Soon you won't have to worry about snow until fall ?

Diane, thank-you! I really enjoy taking pictures of the flowers that grow around me!

Ann, Thanks! That would be nice!!! I'm positive that was our last snow this season - and we knew it was coming .....

Gerry, Almost!!!! Winter does cause one to appreciate the other seasons !!!!!

On dial up, so I'll be visiting you all another time or day!!!

Enjoy....
