The rain barrel is full, the yard spotted with little ponds.
The garden is holding it’s breath…waiting for the warming sun.
I know the green is about to burst from the landscape.

Happy Easter
The garden is just beginning to wake up.
Today I searched for signs of life, fearful of what may not return after our long, harsh Winter.
Much to my delight…I saw the first bees of the season!
Welcome back my pollinating friends.
The Nest
The anticipation of warmer weather–again!
Needing to prick seedlings, sow more seeds, clean perennial beds, scrub bird feeders…
Feathering my nest.
Spring touch
A bowl of eggs.
Saved from my chickens.
The softest shade of blue-green.
They bring beauty to my everyday life.
The calm
Before the day of garden chores.
A warm, windy day on the horizon.
I will take it, however it arrives.
A garden speaks
This corner says, “Come on in and enjoy the view.” Our first day in 6 months that the temperature will reach 60 degrees!!
I am walking gingerly in the garden as not to trample soggy ground, inspecting and taking mental inventory.
Watching the last snow piles melt, and breathing in the smells of Spring.
Greening it up!
Sprinkle some grass seed into a tray of potting soil.
Cover the seed lightly with more potting soil and water gently.
Keep moist and cover with a piece of plastic film.
Find a warm spot to sprout your little table top lawn.
Enjoy on your table for several weeks–this should help get your through Winter!
Quiet moments in the greenhouse
Grateful for many things today.
The garden is the best spot to ponder all that.
Jack In The Pulpit
The woods are scattered with these wonderful wildflowers.
Every Spring I keep an eye out their appearance to snap a few images.
Sunrise in the greenhouse
A welcome sight this morning after days of clouds, cold and rain.
