I took a couple days off from work this week. Actually I was sick with the flu but fortunately it was not that flu where you were sure the world was coming to an end. By the 2nd day I was tired of laying around so I grabbed the camera and wanted to see if I could find some signs of Spring. Since I didn't want to scare my neighbors because I looked...well let's just say it was NOT PRETTY I stayed at home and didn't wander the neighborhood. Now I could have shown you the biggest sign of Spring at my house which is the abundance weeds that have shown up in the last couple of weeks but I wanted to show you the fun signs of Spring.
This is my Japanese Maple. I am seeing little buds.
I planted Mums in a pot last year and they reseeded into the bed this year. Seeing them was a pleasant surprise. The allysum comes back every year.
I can't take credit for growing these beauties. I purchased the Hydranga last weekend at Costco. I am going to plant her where I had a Camellia bush that up and died on me last year. Still cannot figure out what happened since it had been planted for a few years.
I know many of my blog friends are enduring some of the worst weather ever and many are suffering from cabin fever. So here is a little something that will help with the thoughts of Spring and to brighten your day with a few flowers. Now the only thing that you will need are crayons or colored pencils...
Just print this out and color away. I don't know about you but I still like to color every once in awhile. Although these days I only color when the grandkids are visiting but I find it very relaxing. I can color away and not think about anything and sometimes we need that.
I hope you are seeing signs of Spring too.
xoxo, Sue

I love your signs of spring!!! Sorry you have been sick, I hope you are feeling back to normal by now! The coloring page is very cool, our little girls will LOVE it! They are four and are all about coloring! Now I need to go to Costco and look at the flowers, I've never seen any there!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sue!!! You are SO lucky to have flowers! I am one of those suffering from cabin fever. Our snow has melted and the temps are up, but winter is far from over.
ReplyDeleteI love coloring with my nieces, especially with markers {for some reason!} I AM tempted to print that picture out. Brilliant idea!
XO,

What a beautiful post! Just love seeing those tiny buds coming to life again! The Hydrangea is beautiful and I love Allysum--So many pretties you found!! Hope you are all over the flue now, sweet lady! I still love to color, too-ha! Before moving to SC 22 yrs. ago at Christmas time, the whole family of adult children and we colored in a coloring book and signed the pages. It was such fun and I still have it today! Hugs, Kerrie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue...I sure hope you are feeling better by now but I am happy that you were able to get outside to share some of your Spring.
ReplyDeleteYour Hydranga is just beautiful. I wish I could get them to grow for me in FL.
I saw that you had become a "peep", loved the title of your blog so I had to pop over and say hello. Louie looks like he's a cool kittie. ;-)
