Refreshing.

I'm longing for sunny days, shorts, blended drinks, outdoor bubble blowing, sidewalk chalk doodling, and colorful flowers in my garden. -It's all so refreshing to me.













I enjoy warmer days. Hummingbirds in the garden. Our daughter runs through the grass, and simply enjoys her time being a kid. I enjoy my time in my garden planting and pruning. Gathering up fresh vegetables, washing, and preparing them for our meals. -I miss all of this. The weather is still cold here in Colorado, but I'm looking forward to sunny days! -It's all just so refreshing.

    I'm looking forward to warmer days too. It hasn't been bad here at all, but still, it would be nice to go out in a short-sleeved shirt and maybe see a few butterflies!

    I can imagine that cold weather, while it can be snuggly and cozy, may be a little harsh at times. Sunny outdoor fun and blossoming flowers brings lots of joy. It's been colder here too and I am so pleased that the sun is out today! Stay safe and warm. Enjoy your day.

    Wow, I adore your pictures! So lovely! :) Here in New Brunswick Canada it does not look that nice outside. We have tons of snow, and it's cold. But looking at your pictures made me excited for spring!

Pictures from my garden and a few of my favorite gardening quotes.

Here are a few pictures from my garden, and a few of my favorite gardening quotes. Enjoy! "When you grow your garden, it grows you." -  T.F. Hodge Source Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning. -Helen Mirren Source Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul. - Luther Burbank Source "A garden requires patient labor and attention.
