Spring Thyme

Just two weeks ago everything was brown and ugly in my yard but a little time has made a huge difference!  The Bradford Pear tree is in full bloom...


This one is actually in my neighbor's yard....but mine looks just like it.  This one was easier to take a picture of.  :)

The jonquils are in full bloom....


My herb garden isn't pretty enough to take a picture of though - the perennials are greening up and I have lots to plant.  I stitched up this little Spring Thyme bag to hold my seed packets....


This asparagus fern lived in the garage all winter - didn't it winter well?


The forsythia is blooming, but the Carolina jasmine isn't ready yet.....


And it's a typical March day with the winds blowing and blowing!


I wanted a picture on this tree but the bag kept blowing so far out I couldn't see the stitching.  :)


But finally I caught it in a brief moment of calm!

  11. So nice to see a bit of spring finally on it's way. We are starting to see the same here, so unseasonably warm for us though. I love this time of year with all of the pretty blooms...and bright colors. Your bag is just the sweetest.

  30. So great to see the first daffodils and the first tree in full bloom. NO blooming trees around here yet but our garden is full of yellow primroses and the forsythias will take just a couple of days and open up their blooms. I can't wait.
    What a great spring bag you made for your seed packages.

  34. Your pictures are so pretty, Marlene! They looks so "midwest" that I could feel and smell the clear air. That blue sky! The pear tree, the forsythia... oh, such a wonderful day for good feelings about life. You're making me miss Iowa a little bit.

  37. Spring looks wonderful! Just wish it were outside my window. Instead, we're suffering through another bout of rain mixed with snow. I'm not sure I believe in spring any more!

  38. The bag is wonderful and what a great idea! I have my seed packets in plastic bags and small boxes all over the place. One could even put in dividers for the different types of seeds. Lucky you with all the wonderful flowers in bloom.
