Photos: House Yard

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today I took some pictures around the yard and did a couple of garden crafts. These are from the house yard and savanna. (See the Worm Bin and the Water Garden.)


Buds are starting to swell on the maple tree in the house yard.




A fox squirrel scolded from high in a tree.




The log garden has lots of flower shoots at the base.




Here is a closeup of some flower shoots.




This one is oddly pink with gold tips.




This pale lavender crocus blooms in the goddess garden.




These miniature iris shoots are emerging near the daffodil bed.




The daffodil bed has many more shoots now.




The tulip bed also has more shoots.




At the east end of the savanna, many snowdrops have naturalized.




The flower buds are just beginning to open.

Ah beautiful! I'm so ready for spring to bed here and to stay

*grumbles* I can't view your pics on either Chrome or Safari. I'm not sure what's going on with my connections, but I'll try again later today.

EDIT: And now they're back! I love seeing these signs of spring.

Yay for the harbingers of spring! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome!

I'm glad you liked this. It's so nice to walk outside and see random flowers. :D

Today I spotted the first pale yellow snow crocus blooming by the log garden, and the snowdrops are opening in the savanna. :D

Given the temperature swings we've had here (overnight snow flurries and then a 60 degree day) I wonder how much longer our own flowers will stay underground.

Yikes. Poor flowers.

It's been a yo-yo here too, but not quite that bad. Yesterday was 69F, today in the 60s also. Then it rained in the afternoon. Now it is cold with howling wind. 0_o
