Our beautiful Spring is finally here!

lovely bouquet of tulips and lilacs to
remind us that Spring is truly here!
Have a great weekend!

  15. Such a lovely photo. The unusual light really is perfect. As to pollinating your Meyer lemon with a Qtip, I am not sure. I know apples need another tree's pollen, even a branch in water under your tree if one is not nearby, but lemons I don't know. But hey, it couldn't hurt!

  18. We've had glorious weather in Scotland this past week, springlike indeed. Time to put the hot water bottles to their beds, methinks!

    Tulips are my favourite spring flower - especially Queen Of The Night - she goes with every colour does her majesty!

    Oh, I've just noticed Feline Friday in the post below. I might check it out shortly as I'm looking for fun things to do on my other blog!

  21. The flowers sit like sunny orbs in their arrangement. The real sun intrudes and thus is the perfect spring combo of warm sun and cooling shadows. Lovely indeed!

  26. Hi Kathe ~~ You do have good neighbors!!! Isn't that nice!!! I am sure though, that you are nice neighbors for them as well.

    Ours are okay, nicer on one side than the other. The other left us two plumeria bushes, but they were really his that he planted on our property. We made him move them off.

    Sorry I'm so late in returning. I had the fun duty of playing with youth yesterday morning and early afternoon. My post was fishing. I actually caught a fish.
    Then in the evening we attended a wedding.
