A Dutch Girl....

I love spring time. I love getting flowers and gardening and growing things. I get such satisfaction in growing beautiful things and growing delicious foods and even this weekend when I opened the bottom of the composter and saw lots of good dirt in the bottom, there is a real satisfaction in that. One of the first flowers that comes up is all the tulips. I am a dutch girl, I have an Oma and Opa and my Oma gives me lots of tulip bulbs. They looks so beautiful in the spring. Our privacy garden in the back is stunning.





Love the springtime and the beautiful flowers.


Till Next Time

Signs of Spring

It has been so nice here over the last week. We are taking every advantage as I know it will snow again soon. But we are playing outside as much as we can, while we can.



Lucas zipping around on the plasma car.


Beautiful baby boy.


First signs of life in the garden. Yeah. Thanks Auntie Karen for the bulbs.

Till Tomorrow

Clematis

We have a fairly new house and therefore a fairly new garden. So a lot of my July/August flowers have come up in September/October. Here is one of them. It's my clematis. If you look closely you can see beads of water on it. One may think it's the morning dew, but oh no. It's SNOW!!



Well melting snow of course, but still some snow today. Yesterday we went and pulled out all of the vegetables from the garden. Most were done with the frost from a couple of nights ago, but we have lots of carrots (I may have to make carrot cake or carrot soup....). And we did get some corn, so we'll have to eat it and I'll let you know how it was.

Till Tomorrow

Flowers

Well my garden is growing quite well. I mean it will get better and better. But here are some spring shots.



This will be my favorite spring flower.



These are bulbs from Oma. I think they are claled bluebells. But if there is another name does anyone know it?


I think this one is Salvia.



And does anyone know what these are? They came up all through my one garden. I'm not sure if it's just a pretty weed.

Have a great weekend.
