Color Chic

Spring Color...

I just love the fresh color that comes with Spring! I could spend countless hours outside in the garden but so many other things keep me busy... I'm thankful for the longer days, giving me time to fit a little more in!

Sharing Natures Bounty...

It's that time of year when our gardens produce enough to give to others. We were fortunate enough to receive this bounty from Amber!

Tonight we made a delicious salad with the fresh tomatoes.  Tomorrow I'll be creating a Fig, Procuito and Arugula Pizza for dinner, and those carrots will probably be cut up for lunch!

Fresh fruits and veggies straight from the garden are so wonderful! Thank you, Thank you!

Calming Water Feature...

There's something to be said for the soothing effect of water gently flowing over rocks...

It brings a tranquil reaction...

Hope you're finding calm in your weekend.

August in the Garden...

Summer is such a busy time with friends, family, play, work and just plain life that it's nice to simply take a break and appreciate things taking place in the garden.

Like an abundance of grapes growing on the vines, a tomato trying to turn red and several yellow zucchine growing larger everyday.

I'll be linking up to Dear Little Red House "Mosaic Monday", where Mary likes gardens too!

Color in the Garden...

The color I see in the garden...

Is the same color I want to craft with...

The challenge is finding the time? 

Sunshine = Happiness!

and Sunshine in the garden.... even better!

Strawberries love it...

Flowers stand up taller...

The sugar peas are reaching out towards it!

Hope your day is filled with a bit of sunshine... regardless of the weather!

A Beautiful Yard...

A visit to my Mom's and I know her skills at gardening are far superior to mine.  Already her yard is fabulous and it's only mid-May.  Here's a peak...

 

Looking fabulous Mom! But then it looked wonderful last year!

Dew Drops...

When I planted this wheat grass eight days ago I didn't know dew drops would be forming at the top of each blade of grass!  Perhaps had I planted it outside I would have expected it.

I love watching things grow!

PLANT.....

I really should get these planted, they look so pretty in there.  

Last year they looked like This...

Sprouting...

Now I have to admit you really need to look close to see that I have a bit of lettuce coming up.  But it's there!

Looks like I was a bit ahead of the game last year but you never know the sun may come out and the the greens I planted will be up and growing strong... I can dream can't I?
