Coming Alive........

With the warmer temperatures and longer daylight my gardens are beginning to come alive.

                                                       The hyacinths are in full bloom.

                        The tiny blue flower of the Forget-me-nots bloomed out just today.

      I couldn't believe how much the peonies have grown this week, they are almost eight inches tall.

A dear friend of mine gave me this Red Bud tree when it was just a ten inch sapling. It's now over 12 feet tall. I noticed this afternoon that the top had started blooming. I'm hoping that it's as stunning as last year.

I've always wanted a purple magnolia. Today was my lucky day. I got a great deal on one and planted it  in a spot that I had been saving it for. Daddy came back as I was putting the last of the soil around it. He said he was glad I put it on the east side that way he could enjoy it to.

 As Thomas and  I gathered eggs this evening I counted 19, the girls did good today. So, if any of you need a dozen eggs let us know......
