Signs of Spring
We’re seeing the first signs of Spring in the garden. I love seeing the snowdrops come up, and the first daffodils, too. We’ll be seeing more varieties of daffodils and the tulips soon, too - I can’t wait! Not sure what these are ... we’ll know soon!
So much snow …
It snowed multiple times this week, and this is the most accumulation we've had since moving to Chicagoland ten years ago. It is really peaceful and beautiful, in spite of the cold. Though it feels like it will take forever to melt, and Spring seems very far away ...

Neighborhood beauty
I've been trying to get out of the house and exercise a little more regularly. The area around our home is so beautiful it is a pleasure to be out and about!

First peony!
First peony of the season! These purple flowers are tiny but incredibly fragrant. I love the subtle touches of color on these. We now have over a dozen flowers - they exploded into bloom overnight!

Our purple azalea is just about to burst into bloom. The white one is a bit further behind, but coming soon.
Daffodil assortment
I just love these ... We have never had a Spring garden quite like this before. It is such a pleasure to go outside, and see all the beautiful new flowers. I had no idea that there are so many varieties of daffodils, or that they smell so amazing! I bring in some cuttings every… Continue reading Daffodil assortment
