Yellow House: Spring Front Yard


Hello my lovelies.

 It was 85 yesterday. I have broken out my shorts for the season.
 The maple outside our window has leafed out.
 I placed a geranium by the door as it can take the heat.





Look here-a grim little Gremmie in the dogwood tree. 
She weighs ten pounds now y'all.
I'm chubby, my mama's chubby, and my cats chubby.



Our wide expanse of monkey grass (lilirope) is sprouting. We had a million pine cones before the storm. Now we have about five million. I ignore them pretty much.



Easy care sedum on the front stoop that survived the winter unscathed.


Finally, our sweet boy Sheldon. 
Shelley is one hundred pounds and suffers gladly the mischievous cat.

In Olive Out news today is mine and Joe's anniversary.
 Ten wonderful years. To find love again, we think, is a most splendid gift. 

I am going to physical therapy twice a week for shoulder therapy. 
We continue to clear debris from the storm (I basically rake). 
I am carrying on with spring gardening in spite of the extra chores.
 I must have flowers.

Purple Flower Passion







Butterfly bush, a hybrid hydrangea, and a clematis are all in our flower garden.

Joe and I will be away for a time for a family funeral.
 My sweet uncle has gone to heaven and his body is being buried beside my grandmother in the mountains that he loved.
Y'all have a lovely weekend.

DECK SCENES



 I sat on the deck with the camera and snapped some of the activity around me while I painted shells yesterday. Gilding shells is not for wimps {I am a wimp when it comes to strong odors} as the paint is toxic. Shelley Boo was watching over me.



 We always have birds flying around the deck and hummers at the mini feeders every minute.


This is the basket I chased the snake out of and tried to save the baby birds from.



 For those of you who had never seen a Walking Iris this is what it looks like at dawn. Where it is touching the ground it will make another plant.






We continue to find toys buried on our property. It's exciting to dig them up.



Sweet potato vines are in my favorite pot.
