Spring Blossoms II

When I open my window blinds in the morning (very late morning), in the spring this is what I see from my window.  This is from one of my neighbor's trees.  It is so pretty.  Just wish it would last longer than it does.  But fruit is good too.

Forsythia

One of the first flowers that you will see here in Indiana (near Chicago) is this bush that is called Forsythia.  They are a bright yellow flower. The sad part of spring flowers is that they do not last long....but they are such a joy to see after a long cold winter.

Today it was finally a bit warmer so I was able to clean out the gazebo and the deck....I am getting ready to start the gardening.

Lunch Time Meeting at the Pier

Navy Pier in Chicago is one of my favorite places to visit.  There is always something happening there.  It is a great place to people watch.  Come on down to the pier, many places to eat...jump on a boat for a trip to see  the city.  You can also grab the Big Bus and tour the city all day.  My kind of town.

Last Day of Winter

It was a good winter.  In 2016 we hardly got any snow.  But, in 2017 we were blest quite a bit with that white fluffy stuff.  I do not mean Marshmallow fluff either. It is what every artist hopes for.  I was able to go out a few times to take lots of photos.  Here it is almost the middle of April and we may get some snow this weekend.  The good thing about snow at this time of year is that it melts really fast.  Right now it is raining. April showers....bring May flowers.  They are coming...watch for them.

Spring huh?  Not here in Indiana yet.  Can't wait for it to get warmer so that I can go and clean out the garden beds.  I am beginning to see some green things popping through the leaves...

Can't wait till the end of May/June to start getting these gardens back to being beautiful and colorful.  I spend a lot of time gardening and it offers me lots of inspiration.
