Our first signs of Spring!

Hello dear ones,

I'm so happy to see our daffodils blooming!  They are dancing in the rain and cheering us with its bright yellow color in these cold & cloudy days!

"The clamours of spring are the same old delicate noises, the earth renew its magical youth at a breath."  ~Arthur Symons

Our Camellias are blooming also!  This camellia bush is very special, because it always give us different colors.  The photo below is from the very same bush, we find flowers with mixed colors too.  I just wonder... Why?

"There always flower for those who want to see them." ~Henri Matisse

Have a lovely weekend!

 Hello dear ones,

 We are so thankful to our Creator for all of His blessings!  O Lord, how great are Your works!  Your thoughts are very deep.  For You, Lord,  have made me glad through Your work; we will triumph in the work of Your hands.  Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms! The book of psalms

                                               Here is a glimpse of His works . . .

 

"Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade."

~ Charles Dickens   

I Love Birds, Flowers and, of course, Primavera!!!

 She enjoys rain for its wetness, winter for its cold, summer for its heat.  She love rainbows as much for fading as for their brilliance.  It is easy for her, she opens her heart and accepts everything."

Barn Swallows are always so much fun to watch them grow and learn how to fly!

Second year of Tree Swallows nesting in our backyard.  What a delight it has been!

~~ Sweet Signs of Spring ~~

Hello dear ones,

Our days are turning so gorgeous lately.  Everything has started to grow and bloom so beautifully.  The birds are back . . . Tree Swallows, Barn Swallows and Hummingbirds. The Robins are living us now, we just have a few left, pretty soon they will be up north.  Here are photos of our sweet spring.  Enjoy!
                     

"Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?"

~ Neltje Blanchan

"The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off.  Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off - and they are nearly always doing it."

~ Frances Hodgson, The Secret Garden

Our Camellia bush has two colors.  

I love bunnies!

"April has put a spirit of youth in everything."

~ William Shakespeare

"I glanced out the window at the signs of spring.  The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright."

~ Millard Kaufman 

"She turned to the sunlight

And shook her yellow head,

And whispered to her neighbor:

"Winter is dead."

~ A.A. Milne

Our newest flower bed.  We are going to be very busy planting seeds this coming week.  And my dear husband has a new addition to the back yard, which our kids and myself are not to crazy about it.  Can you guess what is it?

Our front door wreath has guest living in.  I love the way they built their little nest.  I love birds and everything related to it.  I'm so glad that my husband is a bird carver.  His latest creations are two Tree Swallows.  Here is a photo of them.  So cute!

Ok, now back to the wreath and its guests.  I think they did such a marvelous job building that little nest.  Don't you think?

Last year some birds also built a nest behind one of our wreath, you can see it Here.

Here's a closed up to this year nest . . . and look at those lovely blue eggs! 

I think it belong to this kind of bird.

So beautiful and perfectly made!

  They use lot of greens to make it. 

Love it!

May your nest be filled with His abundant blessings this Spring season and always!

With Love,
