spring colors

A little tour of the yard today. The pansies are looking good. They loved the snow we had last month and are really plumping up!

 

I just love pansies! They have such cute "faces" don't you think? 

So many things blooming and popping up. I love these tulips that I planted in the fall. It’s always a surprise when I plant bulbs because most of the time I’ve forgotten what color they are supposed to be!!

The forsythia looks pretty with our neighbors pink shrub in the background.

We have about half a dozen vibernum bushes that smell wonderful!!

And the herb garden is looking good. I dug up the sage and rosemary to plant new this year. The rosemary didn’t do very well last year. I think I need to find a sunnier spot for it this year.

I forgot how pretty our yard looks in the spring. I also forgot how much weeding there is to do!! I did get the shade gardens lasagna’d last weekend. So they are good to go.

Gorgeous! Things are beginning to bloom here, but it looks like you are a few weeks ahead of us. :)

Yes, I've noticed that over the last few years. I always get to see Spring twice. Once here and then again when I make my trip to KC for a visit. It's the same in the fall. Always about 2 weeks difference.

Great pix! Vibernum must be what I have surrounding my porch -- the scent is heavenly!!

Yes, the scent alone makes working in the back yard seem less like a chore!!
