Gardening with Soule

There is a lot of blooming going on right now.
 Tulips, daffodils and pansies along with lilacs are all lovely smiling for the camera.
There’s a lot of color.
As well as white.

There is nothing like spring time.Â

Â
Working in my garden today, I was taken back by the lovely scent of lilacs.Â
 Their delicate fragance floats in the air in little wisps that catch your attention.
  They are such pretty flowers in shades of purple, periwinkle and white.Â
 I have planted many lilacs in the 3 years since we bought this house, just for that small [...]

We finally had a beautiful spring day. 

 There was plenty of wind but at least it was sunny and mild.Â
 It felt good to be out there working in my garden.

There is quite a mix showing up this [...]

 I am hoping mother [...]

 I am so happy to see color again that I am beside myself.Â
Â
There isn’t tons of blooms yet but at least there are some.Â
It feels so good to be outside working in my garden again.

Â
 

It’s so nice to see everything growing. 

Did I mention the colors?Â
That’s the best part.Â
 No more gray and brown everywhere.
Hallelujah!

 Spring arrives with the crocus, snowdrops, tulips and daffodils.Â
I too have these and get very excited when they show their pretty faces but I don’t get to enjoy them nearly enough because it is usually too cold in this northeast climate to sit and look at them.
It’s usually not even nice enough to work in [...]

 Ahhh….  SPRING!  It’s so Lovely.

     If there is one thing I have learned from blogging, it’s that gardeners love to watch birds.
