Spring

April 18, 2008 at 4:42 pm by Claudia

When I posted last week, this little daffodil had not opened. There she is! There is only one so far, but there will be more. I also have another type of daffodil in the shade garden that has yet to show herself. Spring has sprung here. The past few days have been unusually warm, and I see the Hostas, day lilies, and many others pushing their way up through the soil.


Here is a glimpse of the forsythia that blooms in the woods on our property. I love that fiery yellow.

And here is a picture of one of our Catalpa trees right by our drive. This hole is home to a group of honey bees that return annually. With all the worry about colony collapse, I was glad to see them back. Unfortunately, this photo doesn’t show them flying in and out, but they are.

Hope your week has been a good one. I am going out of town for two weeks on business Monday. Unfortunately, I don’t have a laptop, so I will be unable to post. But I will take pictures and share them with you when I get back. I’m sure the garden will have really taken off while I’m gone!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
