My Grandma always used to say, "April Showers bring May Flowers", well it is only March here and we have been having rain showers (storms) like crazy here!!
Maybe that means we will have May a month earlier!! Wouldn't that be nice! I'm looking forward to the wisteria, peonies and all the other flowers blooming away here! My tree peony has one huge bud on it right now and I'm sure others will follow! I am thinking of adding a white bleeding heart plant to my container garden. They look so beautiful with all the little white "hearts" hanging off their green stem!
But the Pink Bleeding Hearts are gorgeous too!
I can't wait until I can open the windows and screened door to let the sounds of the birds come back into our life! I miss the butterflies flitting around my plants too!
Oh well all that will be happening soon enough! I just have to be patient a little while longer. So rain keep coming down and waking up the Earth!! Everyone have a great day!
My mum always says about April showers too!
ReplyDeleteHope the rain goes away soon,

Beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt rained here yesterday for the first time winter began - and at once I could feel the smell of spring in the air even though the snow still remains. Gave me hope! :-)
It has rained here for the second time this week and my grass and plants are loving it. I am not kidding, overnight my butterfly bushes went from twigs to branches with green tiny leaves. You were so right! They do come back! :)

Sherri, I hope the beauty of your flowers match the amount of rain you've been getting :-)
ReplyDeleteDon Jr had his Triumph Spitfire painted and after it being in the shop for 4 weeks he was supposed to pick it up today. You both are sharing the same rain so he can't go get it. Bummer for you both. It's raining really hard down here in Florida too but we really need it.
ReplyDeleteAll the birds are here! I think it is the tree and the wooded lot across the way! The lawn is covered in Robins - they're so amusing! Love the bleeding hearts! Mine didn't make it - I had one that I transplanted when we moved - I need to replace it -
ReplyDeleteWe had quite the storm yesterday and should again today - made me feel like I should nap!
Hope you have a marvelous day,
Kathy
It's raining cats and dogs here, Sherri! I too, am looking forward to warm sunny weather!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Those photos are fantastic! What a way to capture Spring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! We have had two days of rain and it is just starting to clear up here at 11AM....

What beauty to look forward to..... We're still piled under the deep of winter, but the song of the chickadee has shifted, which means there is HOPE!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, what a treat to visit your site today!
The anticipation of spring was always such a high for me and I miss that here in Hawaii. I love pink bleeding hearts. I used to have one in my Illinois garden. I don't think I've ever seen a white one but they look very distinctive.
ReplyDeleteLOL - it's snowing here again. Even if it ever stops, I doubt it'll ever melt.
