Springing Along With This & That

 

Good morning all . Hope you had a nice Easter weekend , we sure did . The kids came down for a bit to visit and celebrate our eldest son David's  Birthday and we enjoyed the lovely warm sunny weather all weekend  puttering outside in the yard and gardens trying to get a jump /head start  on everything .

Things are blooming and coming along in our yard and gardens very nicely .

She was soo busy with this reflection of herself that she really didn't notice me there taking her photo  and I am getting pretty good at quietly sneaking up on my subjects to get a pic or two lol .

Cute confused sparrow! Looks like summer too!

The sparrow is too funny: talk about a bird brain. :)

That $ store flowerpot is charming on the table.

The sparrow is a funny sight! Tulips here are behind where they are there- here we're just starting to see some shoots coming up in the tulip beds.

It looks so nice there Elaine. So many plants in bloom already! I love the pics of the sparrow looking in the lightbulb reflection. Too cute! It's very chilly here and going down to -7 tonight!!

Hi Elaine, Love your Sparrow-so cute and confused. O.k so Hyacinths are one of my favorite flowers-I only have one bulb in the yard. I love your watering can and the yellow flower pot-so bright and cheery. Miggs looks so happy to be outside-I sure am. Our Tulips are up and open-always reminds me of spring. We have Adobe soil her which makes planting more bulbs difficult, but I did add some Dahlias this year.
Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,
Noreen

What a terrific series of photos with the sparrow and its reflection, Elaine. And such a good subject too! We also had a nice Easter holiday with family and friends and good weather as well. I can imagine how wonderful the blooms are, especially the scent of the hyacinths.
