I’ve been taking a trip down memory lane sharing posts from my archives. The stories selected have been from my What’s In Bloom series. I always love seeing and photographing the beauty of nature. Even though this post was originally shared five years ago I believe it’s worth a second look. Please enjoy!

My gardens are forever in transition. Almost every day a new bud explodes with magnificent color. My attempt to keep abreast of this activity has wavered. Although the parade of blossoms has not been evidenced through my recent postings, my camera’s shutter has been busily capturing as much activity as possible. To bring you up to date I have gathered together a library of photos. These images are but a sampling of all that has taken place.
The beauty of flowers can brighten anyone’s day. I’ve been sharing oldie but goodie blog posts from my archives that include little glimpses into the landscape around me. These posts are from the garden category on my blog. Below is the post I have chosen to rewind today.

We’ve all worked and played very hard this week so let’s take a few moments to take a deep breath, release a big sigh and pause for refreshment. Here’s to you and all that you have accomplished!
From time to time I resurrect or rewind some of my oldies but goodies. With spring just around the corner I thought it would be fun to revisit a post I first shared on May 17, 2013. This post is one of several filed under the category I call Gardening.

I was very remiss at cleaning out my gardens last fall; there’s plenty of debris just waiting for my attention. While working in my studio recently, I detected movement outside my window, in my peripheral vision. Being curious about the origin, I stopped what I was doing to investigate. Carefully I moved toward the window. As I got closer I could see a big fat robin. The robin was tugging at the leftovers of last year’s Black Eyed Susans.
Stand Still
I stood as still as I could; not wanting to scare the robin away. The bird paused for a moment then tugged once again at the decayed stems. His efforts eventually were successful. As he flew away I could see the new-found items nestled within his beak. The male robin returned numerous times to gather more items. Seeing this robin actively gathering stems and leaves reminded me that YES indeed spring is here! Yippee!
Take A Look
I took advantage of a rainy day recently to pause and take a few photos in my gardens. This is the fruit of my labors. Enjoy!

While this post certainly has nothing to do with quilting it does bring you a small taste of the environment that surrounds me. My home, garden and landscape bring me great joy. I hope you found today’s tour to be a pleasant one.
