Spring Travels

Naturalized area of BlueEyed Mary

Perhaps I could get a better picture if I got out of the truck!

Pretty stream

someone used a lot of branches/ this went on for a little ways!  Lots of work!

 

Dogwood Trees

These pictures don't even begin to show how lovely the Dogwoods were this year.  They blanketed the hillsides and before the other trees leafed out  it almost looked like snow on the hillsides...Dogwood snow I called it. I was unable to capture how it looked,but it was beautiful!

 

Snowy Day

Today we got about three inches of snow. It was so pretty. I enjoyed watching it and it's pretty much all melted  already.   Here are some lilacs holding some snow!

and some Redbud Flowers

Wild Sweet William. not as much snow here  as it was under a bunch of tree branches.

a snowy Columbine!

 

Warm Day

Yesterday was a warm day and we went on a walk.   The  Dogwood  trees have been outstanding this year....you can see the hillsides just white with them. So pretty!

Not sure  what the name of this flower is....I need to look it up. It was short, maybe six inches and the little fuzzy parts at the top were super soft.

 

That Time of Year

It  is the time of year for Grape Hyacinths  to bloom!

The flags always look neat on top of buildings!

the one morel  we found on Sunday's  hunt!  it was a nice one though

 

Yard Sale and Pie

My yard sale finds from a while back!   The kids love hte I  Spy books....and  I thought the flamingo lanterns will be fun at the river this Summer.  Not sure what I will do with the garland, but I liked both of them!

The "pie"  that was served to me in a carry-out meal.  haha  

 

More from Mae House

Here are two items I got out of the Mae House  lately.   A painting of poppies in a shabby chic  white frame  Will hang this by the front door in a few weeks.

A paint-by-number I did as a kid....this was upstairs in the Mae House.   

 It is in surprisingly  good shape considering it's age and where it spent the last 15 or so years!
