Sunday post

Outside today in beautiful weather checking out the blooms on the dogwood trees and azaleas.

I like to be out among them as long as possible as the blooms do not last long.


  

Not all are blooming yet.  Some bloom later.  I need to replant some, as some have died. Some look brittle and unhealthy

The pink dogwood we had trimmed has bloomed nicely.  We removed four of them.  They were pretty but too tall and leggy. 
The side of my house with a few that are looking leggy and brittle but still pretty.




Front yard dogwood.  I thought at one time it was lost due to what look like a disease.  It was trimmed back a lot and limbs taken off.  I put feed around it and now it looks great. 


Our front door
a bunny and faux plant
I believe I am in the mood for painting front door green or lighter yellow. 


I brought in some dogwood clippings


Some Azalea clippings for the table. 
The little eggs are Papier Mache.  I did these a few years back on Styrofoam eggs. 



My Chandy is filled with flowers of various kinds.  There is a strand of Pip Berries too. 

Evening sky on the way out of our neighborhood

A ride into town of Ashland to get some things from the store. 

Back at home a fire in the fireplace. We have had some chilly evenings. 



Til next time

Thank you so much. I hope when your weather warms up, it stays warm and not do like ours and have a frost that killed my zinnias. I should have paid attention to when the last frost was predicted. I will next year.
