Beautiful things

One of the fun things for us this Spring will be seeing what pops up out of the ground in the gardens. The wife who lived here before us was an avid gardener and I remember when we first looked at the house there were lots of plants around it. So our first surprises have been popping their heads out of the ground:


Pretty little crocuses. Only a few blooming right now, but LOTS of little plants are shooting up around here. I can't tell yet if they are all crocuses or if we will have some other color showing up too. The only immediate changes we will do to the landscaping is adding some shrubs in front. There are a lot of plants that I think will show up there, but they died away during the winter making the house look a little barren. I have to see if I can keep track of them all and relocate them to other parts of the yard (waste not, want not!).


Another little bloomer here. Sweet Grace in her Brownie uniform. All the troop wears for uniform is the sash and pins (that can just barely be seen in this photo on her left side of her chest). She does have her rockin' Brownie shirt on that Gramma got her during their visit to the Westfield girl scout store. She LOVES going to Brownie meetings, especially since her two best friends Anna and Annie are in the troop with her.

I always love seeing these little guys pop up- ours are purple. It always gives me hope. But right now it is snowing, so we aren't quite there yet....
