Spring has sprung - finally!

Today the sun was shining and the temperature got up to the low
70s and all of a sudden, flowers were blooming everywhere.


Our King Alfred daffodils are so pretty this year. I have them scattered all around the yard.


Because of the spring drought last year, we only had about a dozen blooms and they were small. This year they are so pretty.

Our tea olive tree is full of fragrant blooms, just outside the back

porch door leading to the kitchen. It blooms several times a year.

The purple Japanese magnolia is showy - but doesn't last long. The first cold night it will get killed back, and turn brown.

The green plant growing under the bell by the back porch is Rosemary. I love to touch the leaves and smell them. It's an evergreen.
