It's beginning to look like spring ~



Last month seemed to zoom by without my posting. I was busy with other projects and winter clean-up in the garden.

But today when I went out this morning I felt the need to take some pictures. Although the garden is still quite bare, it is being to look like spring.



We had a very rainy winter which has been wonderful, the extra water has added so much lushness to the garden. Everything seems to be bigger this year and I expect this to be an exception spring.


For now I must be content with the early bloomers, the magnolias are beautiful and so are the purple hibiscus, which never seem to be out of flower. I have two of them and a few weeks ago I planted another.


Bulbs are the highlight right now. Usually when they are in full bloom we get an unseasonably hot spell that shortens their flowering but this year the temperatures have been lower and the bloom period much longer. These dwarf daffodils are planted in my driveway median, they are low enough for the car to drive over. I love them combined with the low growing purple verbena.

An update

The office project has taken quite a bit of my time and with the exception  of the details is finally complete. I will be posting more about it later but I wanted to share one of the parts I like the most, the wall behind my desk. The sconces were my Mother's, I saved them knowing that eventually I would find a spot for them. The mirror is from my brother's shop, it was damaged but I was able to repair it. I am also in love with the new cabinet door pulls, they were an extravagance but in my opinion well worth it.




 I have been waiting for the trim to finish the drapes, it came yesterday, I hope to get it sewn on in the next couple of days. Two chairs that need cushions replaced, switch plates covers to install and drapes to hang, then it should all be done. Hooray! 

Thank you for visiting

Adrienne

  1. Your garden is coming into bloom again; it's a beautiful work of love. The office looks great, I like your new mirror and door pulls. I can't wait to see it finished. How is Miss Twiggyley doing? It's been awhile since you've mentioned that sweet little beauty. Drought is a horrible thing to endure, so I'm sure you're delighted it's over. I have thought of you often, hoping you were fine during the fires. Have yourself an extra special day.

  8. Après 5 ans de relation avec mon petit ami, il a soudainement changé et a cessé de me contacter régulièrement. Il proposait des excuses pour ne pas me voir tout le temps. Il a cessé de répondre à mes appels et à mes sms et il a cessé de me voir régulièrement. J'ai ensuite commencé à le rencontrer avec différentes amies de filles, mais à chaque fois, il disait qu'il m'aimait et qu'il avait besoin de temps pour réfléchir à notre relation. Mais après que j’ai contacté (padmanlovespell@yahoo.com), Dr.Padman du temple des sorts jeté un sortilège d’amour et après un jour, mon petit ami a commencé à me contacter régulièrement et nous avons emménagé ensemble au bout de quelques mois et il était plus ouvert à moi. qu’avant et il a commencé à passer plus de temps avec moi que ses amis. Nous nous sommes finalement mariés et nous sommes maintenant mariés avec bonheur depuis 2 ans avec un fils. Depuis que le Dr. Padman de padmanlovespell@yahoo.com m'a aidé, mon partenaire est très stable, fidèle et plus proche de moi qu'auparavant

I was diagnosed of this disease some time ago and i was worried. when i was searching the internet looking for a cure, i came across some testimonies of Great Mother how she has helped a lot of people and i decided to contact her on her info and explained to her.

I’m from USA am here to give my testimony about Dr Voke who helped me cure my HERPES (HSV), i want to inform the public how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS), i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me.
