A few pictures from the garden yesterday. Weathermen had predicted that it would be cold by midweek and maybe even snow. We did get some hefty wind blowing in on Wednesday evening, but it did not do much except blow limbs from trees and find odd bits of trash from other places and blow them into my yard. (Don’t worry. I picked them up.) 
Oreo ponders whether or not to get between the camera and this little bed of crocus.
The hellebores continue to open up. These pictures were taken in the very late afternoon sun. It’s one of my favorite times to go out, and in the summer especially, when you can see all kinds of moths that come out early evening. Note the ootheca on the small metal post in the left of the picture.
I do worry that this unseasonably warm weather is causing too much growth on the plants and that it will all get zapped when the next big frost comes, but I try to just enjoy what each day brings.
The spirea continues to put out growth.
“…what greater delight is there than to behold the earth apparelled with plants, as with a robe of embroidered work, set with orient pearls and garnished with great diversity of rare and costly jewels?”

Psalm 118:24
I love the creeping speedwell. There was one little bloom on it yesterday. Isn’t is breathtaking? If you really want to see the full picture, click here. (You may have to click on the full-size button in lower right of picture when new window opens.)
Enjoy your Friday!

Lynn..how blessed you are to be able to see so many early Spring delights!
Your photos are gorgeous.
Have a great weekend!
I knew I should have added that garden stuff to my list for this weekend. You have amazing flowers at your place.
It is more spring like here this week, although
I hear cold is coming back. The wing knocked over all our wood furniture too.
Dear Lynn,
Thank you for sharing your garden and your sweet baby pictures with us! Frankie gets an extra squeeze from you today (Although he may not like it much!).
The speedwell IS quite beautiful, and moths are one of my favorite “butterflies”, too! Do you have lunas there?
Love,
Marqueta
Lynn,
My bones are cold and your pictures warm them.
Spring has sprung and I can’t wait to play in it
Happy Planting
Diana
