Spring Is The Word

That word doesn't guarantee warm weather, however. We are due for snow in the next 24 hours, so I thought I'd gather some flowers for an indoor show... ...there are so many blooming...


....quite vigorously!


Who put the bees out? Me, I sure did... :) My mason bees are ready to start filling their nest tubes and pollinating my cherry blossoms, and I really appreciate it!

Nice big spider hanging out in my "junky" spot next to the garage. I sure like all my bugs!
Indoors the seedlings are quickly getting crowded...

...reminding me of the awesome 4-tier, 4 light shelf system I was drooling over in a catalog awhile back. Ah well, someday.

Meanwhile there are pretty bulb blooms to enjoy....
...and some early blooming perennials to appreciate. After all....

....gotta get in my flower happiness while I can before the snow flies!

Is it June yet?

I like that vase on the left. It looks like an ice cream waffle cone!

Thanyou! It's called "milk glass", and is considered a "collectible" per the antique books :)

Your bouquets were so pretty they inspired me to make a couple of my own, something I rarely do!
The house smelled so good!

Glad to hear it! I mostly began bringing in flowers as a "defense mechanism" against deer so I could enjoy them before they're devoured. I've kept up with my spraying regimen this spring so they've been safe, but now it's a habit :)

Hi Lisa, love your diamond-point milk glass vase! Also love bees and spiders.. just not the wasps in my mailbox, lol.

Haha... I love the through-the-screen yellow flower smiley! :) to you, too. My condolences on the snow, though. At least your vases are pretty!

Monica-I'm not surprised that you'd know exactly what pattern that milk glass is :) I wouldn't want wasps in MY mailbox, either! I got stung real bad last summer by a yellow jacket living in my bat house, and I wasn't even very close to it! They are SUPER crabby! ;-)

Eliza-Thank you! I spotted the flower smiley out the window and HAD to get a shot :) Luckily our snow wasn't bad enough to harm any plants.
