Springtime fantasies

 From April 2014

Since we were in the mood to look at all things plants, and the weather was warm and sunny here last Saturday, we stopped in Black Mountain's own nursery to see about more things we needed (to have, to know.)



Thought for the day:
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver

    Winter will be with us here in NH for many more months. Thanks for a peek at spring.

      Yes, this is the point of showing older spring photos...a good fantasy to have flowers to look at.

    Love seeing the flowers there. This morning here on the California north coast it is literally freezing at a very chilly 26 degrees.

    You are sure finding some pretty photos to share! On these gray days it seems impossible there will be such color in our world anytime soon.

      And that's exactly why every winter, sometime or another, I scroll through all the posts that have the keyword "flowers: and share them again. It's so amazing right now that we'll ever have such abundance of color everywhere again!

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
