Signs of Spring

Recently planted rosemary seems to enjoy the rain.

I love this time of year!  Spring and fall are my absolute favorites.  But, I must admit, all seasons are  good…I just enjoy being alive!

Wednesday night was a beautiful night.  It followed lots of rain the last week or two, so the plants were especially happy.  The weather was mild, so we sat outside.  Max barked at all the birds, while Mike and I talked about the week.

My yard and courtyard are not at their peak, but they still look good to me.  I just wanted to share some of the amazing flowers that are coloring my flowerbeds right now.  Every time I see all the magnificent bushes, flowers, and trees in bloom, I smile.  God obviously wanted us to appreciate the beauty of earth.

Here are just a few photos of the flowers that made me smile last night.

Notice the bunny at the base of the rose bush. I always seem to have rabbits in my yard and I love them being there!
