Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image.
The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life. Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.
The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
I usually run with a theme. This week I am showing more of Floriade Reimagined, and a little more from my garden. Again.
Starting with the Floriade Reimagined site closest to home.
I really liked the suitably masked teddies who welcomed visitors.
There is always one who refuses to wear a mask.
There was also a scarecrow festival here - and they will feature in a future post.
Back to my garden, where more things come out each day.
Yes, I know I am obsessional. Please forgive me, but I will almost certainly continue to feature Spring in my city and my garden over the coming weeks. Weeks which I hope find you all healthy, happy and blooming.
Spring is great with me. The blooms are gorgeous. The masked teddies are so cute and I thought the ginger cat was a statue at first glance!
ReplyDeleteMarie Smith: The ginger ninja would be very happy to hear that you thought he was a statue. He frequently remains very, very still when I go into the garden.
DeleteThe flowers are pretty. I love the bears with the masks.
ReplyDeleteJamie Ghione: I liked the masked bears as well - and was lucky. I have only seen them there once.
DeleteGinger was posing for you. Visiting with you like this and through your comments is a sweet part of my days. I appreciate you (and Jazz)
ReplyDeleteCloudia: Many thanks oh sister across the seas. Jazz firmly believes that the interloper should be captured and removed (or chased off) rather than captured with the camera.
DeleteEC, I love the garden, it is beautiful, and the people, the naughty one.
ReplyDeleteBob Bushell: Thank you. Bad teddy! Bad, bad teddy - though his maskless state did make me smile.
DeleteI actually like to look at other people's garden!!
ReplyDelete: )
Caterina: So do I. Unlike my mother I don't carry secateurs with me though.
DeleteI'm very happy to see spring in your neck of the woods! I just love seeing tulips...they are so beautiful and I love those teddies! Ha, very cute! Thanks for sharing your Floriade! Hope we get to see more!
ReplyDeleteRain: You will most definitely see more. Probably much more - and thank you.
DeleteThe masked teddies are adorable, the ginger-loper is beautiful, and your garden takes the prize for most spectacular each and every week! Please remind Jazz that I think he's the most beautifulist cat in his garden, though. I don't want any virtual scratches. ;)
ReplyDeleteRiver Fairchild: Smart move. Jazz is NOT happy at the moment due to our house guest and his talons are at the ready. And very sharp.
DeleteSpring photoes are so wonderful. Keep them coming to remind us pooe people on the northern hemisphere, taht spring will come around again. Your garden is still the best part if the Floriade remade.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte (MotherOwl): Thank you so much. We had (for a very big change) rain at just the right time this year. My garden shows its benefits. It is still dark at the moment, but I hope to get back into the garden soon. Working - and reveling.
DeleteYour pictures of spring in full bloom are wonderful. I especially like the two tulip pictures in your own garden. And it's all so uplifting to my needy spirit! :-)
ReplyDeleteDJan: Thank you. I am very glad to hear it - and aren't all our spirits needy at the moment?
DeleteSo beautiful, they've done a great job re-imaging their celebration. Later i'll be back to link up my selections.
ReplyDeletemessymimi: They have done a good job, though some (as I will show in later weeks) are much better cared for than others. I look forward, as I always do, to seeing your Sunday Selections later.
DeleteDear EC
ReplyDeleteI liked the display with the teddies suitably masked up. However, your garden was even better! What a beautiful display.
Best wishes
Ellie
Ellie Foster: Thank you. I think my garden is at its best in Spring - perhaps because the necessary work can be done in the colder months which suits me much better.
DeleteI think Canberra is one of the only places here in Australia where Tulips grow the way they should do
ReplyDeleteYes we have Tesselaars huge nursery not too far from us and their field display is a crowd catcher each spring (for a price) but the bulbs never seem to ‘grow well’ once they reach suburbia.
Which is why I really enjoy seeing your personal garden display each year:)
Cathy: I would love to see the Tesselaar display - and a number of the plants in my garden come from them. Canberra is almost perfectly suited to the spring bulbs which require a cold snap, and this year has been better than most. Our winter was warmer than usual, but we had precious rain at just the right time.
DeleteTulips are stunning. Something we do not see here in desert S. California.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers always make me smile.
Susan Kane: They are lovely plants but I am very certain that I would lust after things which you can grow and we cannot.
DeleteThe public Floriade and your private Floriade. Nice. I recently read somewhere that we export tulips to Amsterdam.
ReplyDeleteAndrew: I wonder whether we will be importing this year or whether the covid restrictions have put a stop to that.
DeleteBit hazy but I remember that we do import most of our flowers from the east coast of Africa. That is Kenya and the like. Quite a high percentage are rejected as a bio security threat. As far as I know, flowers are still being imported, depending on flight availability. There has been a shortage of cut flowers here but it seems back to normal now.
DeleteAndrew: I can well understand that bulbs/flowers present a bio security risk. Cut flowers here seem to be pretty much back to normal too. I wonder whether bulbs are considered a bigger risk. I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
DeleteI think this Floriade display is simply fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy very best cat of all time, acquired me a bit over thirty years ago. He had an in utero wry tail. He was the color of your so called ginger back there. I called mine Scotty, short for Butterscotch.
Joanne Noragon: Floriade is a delightful time of the year. I am worrying a bit about the ginger interloper. He has a home - but is out roaming the streets much more than I like. He has set Jazz into a total frenzy by appearing on our back deck at 3am. I firmly believe that cats belong inside at night at least - and preferably always. And yes I am inconsistent. Jazz does go out, with me, for half an hour or so.
DeleteOut for half an hour or so in your yard is far better than roaming at will.
DeleteRiver: I think so too - and he does as well.
DeleteYour garden is to die for. It reminds me of a fairy garden a wrote about with the perfect mixture of cultivated and wild. So pretty.
ReplyDeletemshatch: What a lovely thing to say. Realistically the garden is too much for me and I sometimes think I will die in it rather than for it.
DeleteLove all the purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteMike: There is a huge expanse of purple wallflowers at the bottom of the back yard. They have taken over one bed and are encroaching on others.
DeleteInterloper makes for nice yard decor. he must sense a kind heart or maybe some fun times.
ReplyDeleteStrayer: There are lots of wonderful places for a cat in our garden. Sunny spots, shaded spots, spots where they can view the world without being seen. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he likes baiting Jazz as well.
DeleteSuch a fabulous show of tulips, in your garden and the display area. Love the teddies :)
ReplyDeleteYou have many more starflowers than I do, I have the bulbs in a pot and only saw a half dozen flowers a few weeks ago.
Have you named the interloper yet?
River: Our starflowers have been multiplying happily for many years. I think I put in twenty to start with, and they obviously like that bed.
DeleteThe interloper hasn't been named by us, though we sometimes call him the Ginger Ninja and sometimes Captain Ginge. The things Jazz calls him are not repeatable.
Floriade flowers are good so many varieties of tulips to be seen.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely, bulbs always give a good show...do like those teddies :)
Margaret D: Floriade in Commonwealth Park has a much wider range of tulips (and other bulbs). I am enjoying the Floriade Reimagined selections as well though. We have a LOT of bulbs in our garden, across the seasons.
DeleteLove the teddies! Your garden is splendid!
ReplyDeleteKaren: The teddies were cute weren't they? I am so glad that they were there on one of my visits because I haven't seen them before or since.
DeleteThe tulips are beautiful, and your garden is looking pretty dang good too. Flowers so soothe the soul!
ReplyDeleteAnne in the kitchen: I put a lot of work into the garden and this year it is paying dividends. You are right about its soul soothing properties too.
DeleteWell, that's a sweet breath of "proper" Spring air. Up here, it's the hardest and ugliest season. (Don't pity me-when the rains come we'll be a mass of colour, too).
ReplyDeleteWe've been woken at night several times lately by scrowling cats. Sometimes, Stanley and Sporran get up to peer through a window, but then go back to sleep.They know the rules!
dinahmow: You grow things I can only dream of - much as I enjoy our Spring. Jazz is braver (by far) from inside the house than he is outside.
DeleteSo many smiles!!!
ReplyDeleteBill: I am very, very glad to hear that. Thank you.
DeleteThank you for a wonderful spring 'walk'. I sit here as Storm Alex roars and bangs outside and the rain cascades from the hills.
ReplyDeleteRelatively Retiring: I do hope that Alex causes no significant damage. We have rain forecast (hooray) for later in the week, but no roaring, banging or cascading is predicted.
DeleteMy goodness, so wonderful that you share your lovely garden. It's clear that you spend so much time in making it shine. Needs to be in a magazine for sure! What a clever idea with those masked bears too! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteRO: Thank you. Mine is too messy to be a show garden but for me at least the work is paying dividends this year. Aren't the masked bears lovely?
DeleteStay well, stay safe. And hugs.
The garden is a delight, Sue, and all your hard work has produced a feast for the eyes, and I would imagine that the fragrance too is impressive at times. We have an Erindale Centre here too. I wonder how many more names are replicated throughout the English-speaking world - hundreds no doubt. I think your Sydney is a tad more memorable than Sydney, Nove Scotia, however!
ReplyDeleteDavid Gascoigne: Thank you. Sinus issues mean that my sense of smell is seriously diminished but walkers have commented on the delightful fragrance of our garden. I often track replicated names, but hadn't realised that our Erindale Centre was one of them. I am pretty sure I would be more comfortable in your Sydney than ours.
DeleteVery cute, I love these colorful flowers!
ReplyDeleteNatalia: Thank you. We love them too.
DeleteSchön die Bilder vom Frühling.
ReplyDeleteGruß
Noke
Noke: Thank you. Rain at just the right time has meant that our Spring is putting on a spectacular display this year.
DeleteI have teddies in my window at the moment, after seeing your photographs I think I'll put some masks on them
ReplyDeleteKim: I LOVE the idea of you masking your window teddies.
DeleteI love seeing all the beautiful flowers as we're in autumn here. The bears are adorable. Looking forward to more of your gorgeous photos. Be safe and have a wonderful week my friend.
ReplyDeleteMason Canyon: Spring and Autumn are both very beautiful aren't they? You stay safe and well too please. You are valued. Around the world.
DeleteLovely post!Great photos.Love it1xoxo
ReplyDeletebeautyqueen000.blogspot.rs
BeautyQueen: Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed it.
DeleteFloriade is just a great thing to do. The flowers cheer me up.
ReplyDeletegigi-hawaii: We love it too. And Floriade definitely cheers my city up.
DeleteI love the death stare of Ginger - boy you wouldn't want to mess with her. I sent a photo of the teddies to Niece, we are both knitters and I knew it would make her morning. What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteXO
WWW
Wisewebwoman: Aren't the masked teddies a wonderful idea? I don't think that anyone who saw them could help being charmed. It itched to hug them too.
DeleteI would love to see what you and your niece do with the idea.
Love Teddies in masks. They made me smile.
ReplyDeleteOlga Godim: They made me smile too. Even the maskless rebel made me smile.
DeleteI love seeing your garden pictures. You have so many pretty flowers. The cat is really cute.
ReplyDeleteMary Kirkland: It is just before dawn here and in a little while I will go out and do the first of my garden walks to see what is blooming today. And yes, the ginger ninja IS a beautiful cat. Though Jazz does not agree.
DeleteLaurie: Isn't the way the internet shrinks our world wonderful? As we launch into summer (my least favourite season) I will be cooled and refreshed by the beauty on your side of the world.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are colorful and beautiful and the teddies are adorable, I see that you also caught a cat that was mesmerized by all the beauty or perhaps surprised by all the teddies.
ReplyDeleteRasmaSandra: Thank you. The cat was trying to pretend it wasn't skulking in the garden - where he often is.
DeleteYour garden is simply beautiful. I love how the flowers spill over the beds. The ginger cat is sweet - I have cats from the neighborhoods as well who come to spend their days sleeping in my garden - I love it, since we can't have pets. They're my surrogate pets. Lovely tulips! Do the teddies have a certain role?
ReplyDeleteCarola Bartz: Thank you. The borders of the garden beds often disappear. I will have to cut some back so we can walk down the paths - but am reluctant while so much is flowering. I think the teddies role was to provide smiles - which they did.
DeleteMasks have become so normal. So weird that so many things have changed so much. Thank goodness for the flowers that stay the same/beautiful. :)
ReplyDeletemail4rosey: I find it reassuring just how much of nature's work continues unchanged despite our restrictions.
DeleteYour mass planting of white starry things (thats my gardener showing) is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colours in the teddy bears and the egg carton masks are inspired!
kylie: The mass planting started from about twenty. They are palest blue rather than white - and are colloquially known as Spring Starflowers. Your gardener was right on the money.
DeleteThe teddies were great and like you I thought that their masks were inspired.
It's brilliant to put masks on the bears! Your blog is a bevy of colors.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Janie Junebug: I loved those masks too. Just at the moment my city and my garden are both packed with colour - which is very welcome.
DeleteHi EC - there's no worry about being obsessional ... we all need cheering up at the moment and the sight of Spring flowers lets me think 6 months ahead, when I hope life here will be easier for us all. Nature is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove those teddies subtly hinting about wearing a mask ... the Floridae is always delightful to see ... love the white candle-like fluttery tulip by one of the signs.
Now Ginger obviously recognises someone who would love to love him! He is handsome ... that's for sure ... but poor Jazz ... and his mistress' thoughts for him.
Take care and all the best for the week - Hilary
Hilary Melton-Butcher: Thank you. Ginger has a home, though increasingly I think he deserves better. Jazz doesn't agree of course. Jazz has been unwell and worrying me again today but has (fingers and toes crossed) turned the corner again.
DeleteI hope your week is lovely, and that it is easier than you expect. Hugs.
Thanks EC - my week will be fine ... I'm lucky in most ways. Oh I do hope Jazz comes through safely and well for a long while yet. Maybe Ginger is lacking company and a garden lover - that makes sense.
DeleteWell we're in for another wet week - doesn't worry me ... and in fact down here we need(ed) rain! Take care and I do hope Jazz gives you an easy time ... with a hug or three or four! - Hilary
Hilary Melton-Butcher: We are supposedly having a wet week too - though so far we have had much less than predicted. Fingers crossed. Jazz went on to have a pretty good day yesterday. For which I am grateful.
DeleteI think that many cats are garden lovers. The ginger ninja sometimes brings a friend (also ginger) to soak up the sun in ours.
You have an eye for colorful joy and happiness. The teddies so cute just sitting there,wearing masks 😂 hilarious
ReplyDeleteSpacer Guy: Thank you. I am a beauty addict and it brings me joy. Each and every day.
DeleteSadly, we are hitting Autumn now. It will soon be Winter sadly.
ReplyDelete:o(
Cheers
PM
Plastic Mancunian: When you are deep in the throes of winter I will be envying you. Big time.
DeleteSuch beautiful colours - a hymn to Spring! Love those knitted bears too and their egg carton (?) masks....Maybe that cat is stalking the bears? He might not be willing to take on a grizzly but those guys look easy!
ReplyDeletemolly: Those masks were indeed constructed from egg cartons. And probably don't put up much of a fight. I can remember a cat from years ago who used to frequent a shed in season and bring back the lamb tails - proudly telling me of the fight they put up as he laid them at my feet.
DeleteYour spring garden is so lovely, Sue, and I can see all the work you have put into it to get it that way. I look forward to more pictures.
ReplyDeleteStarting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe: Thank you. You are right, a lot of work went into the garden. Now, when the aches and pains are memories only it is paying generous dividends. There will certainly be more photos. Possibly too many.
DeleteEs alegre su jardÃn, con flores de variados colores que además lo embellece y perfuma el aire con su buena fragancia.
ReplyDeleteVENTANA DE FOTO: Thank you. It certainly brightens my day and yesterday someone driving past slowed down to tell me how much he liked it. Which made my day.
DeleteOh! Those wee masked knit bears are so adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteBea: Aren't they the perfect addition?
DeleteReally beautiful tulips. But those knit bears are so cute. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
orvokki: Thank you. Those bears have won a lot of hearts haven't they?
DeleteI just love seeing flowers and you spoilt us with this lovely post.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun seeing the masked teddies too :)
Have a good week.
It's rather wet and windy in the UK at the moment.
All the best Jan
Lowcarb team member ~Jan: Thank you. It is always comforting to hear that me indulging my obsessions doesn't offend.
DeleteI hope your week is beautiful - despite the wet and the wind. It is damp here today too - but I welcome it.
Oh the flowers are beautiful! Keep sharing. What a joyful time to visit and see such happy things. Those teddies were being very responsible. Thanks for sharing BLESSINGS and LOVE for a great week!
ReplyDeleteAnne M Robinson: Welcome and thank you. The garden fills me with joy and I loved that almost all of the teddies were masked. I smiled at the rebel too.
DeleteSo very pretty!! I love daisies in all of their varieties. Spring flowers are my absolute favourite! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteJemi Fraser: Thank you. Our garden is at its best in Spring - probably because I can prepare for Spring in the cooler months. I do love the season but dread the summer which is not on her heels.
DeleteYour garden is beautiful! (Even the interloper, who made me go "Awwwww...") And the masked teddy bears gave me a giggle. Thank you for sharing Floriade with us!
ReplyDeleteDiane Henders: Many thanks. It has been wet today and I hope the interloper has a warm spot in the dry to shelter in. And yes, he is a cutie. Like you I smiled at the masked bears. And would think worse of anyone who didn't.
DeleteThe masked teddies are too cute and the scarecrow festival sounds super. Your garden is magnificent! with and without the interloper.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be autumn at my end but summer's overstaying its welcome...Glimpses of spring at yours make this more bearable somehow, thank you.
Nilanjana Bose: Summer ALWAYS overstays its limited welcome with me. I hope that you get some cool relief. Soon. And thank you.
DeleteElephant's Child, your garden shows such great beauty, I truly enjoy seeing all those flowers! I also like seeing ginger there, but I can see why Jazz wouldn't be happy with that, seeing how territorial cats are.
ReplyDeleteLon Anderson: Thank you. Jazz is VERY territorial. Most of the time, and certainly views the garden as his own.
DeleteYour garden is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSandra Cox: Thank you. I get a lot of solace and heart balm from it - and it demands a lot of work. More than I give it, though it has been forgiving.
DeleteBeautiful photos and a beautiful little Jazz.
ReplyDeleteSnowbrush: Thank you. It isn't Jazz in the photo though, but a neighbour's cat who visits us often.
DeleteOh, forgive me! I thought I remembered how she looked, but maybe I just remembered how the interloper looked. Outside cats so upset my indoor cats that I've done my best to make them fear me, and it has certainly worked. I hate feeling the need to do it, but it's not just my cats they distress, it is also the birds and squirrels I feed, and they've literally killed every last one of the many garter snakes that once graced my yard.
DeleteSnowbrush: Forgiveness NOT required. Jazz is black. And yes, the interloper and a cat who I suspect is a relative who comes to our garden with the ginger ninja both upset Jazz dreadfully. The birds seem to be skilled at getting out of their way. No snakes here, but plenty of small lizards which also seem to be adept at avoiding the cats.
DeleteI'm glad your lizards and birds are good at avoiding them. We have very few lizards where I am (and how I miss them!), but birds are regularly killed.
DeleteSnowbrush: I am very glad too. It is a long time since I have seen a bird or a lizard corpse (with the exception of road kill) and I am grateful.
DeleteDear EC, that ginger cat looks like a love. Or a lovey. I so enjoy your photographs whatever the season. Here the foliage is turning and falling and it's my favorite time of year.
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted tops on the teddies just delighted me. I used to be a demon crocheter--afghans, vests, skirts, shawls, all sorts of things. Then I got into writing and sort of let go of all my other hobbies. But I just this past weekend discovered a bin in the garage that had a number of squares of crocheting for an afghan for myself. all those I did in the past were given away. So this winter I hope to complete it. Take care. I hope all is well. Peace.
Dee: The Ginger Ninja is a cutie. He is very wary of us, and that is as it should be.
DeleteCrocheting is a skill I have never had (or knitting). I can and do admire other people's work though - and hope you do complete your afghan. Stay well and safe please.
Oh those flowers Sue. How gorgeous. Floriade is stupendous. I'd love the time to reconnect with my crocheting, knitting, sewing self. Hmm. Maybe one day. (Hope you're well!)
ReplyDeleteDenise Covey: Thank you. My sewing days are largely gone I think (fine motor control issues). I hope that some day you can reconnect with that also creative self. I am fine(ish) but currently in the hands of the torturers (whose titles include physiotherapists and exercise physiologists).
DeleteSuch a neat series again. Love the knitted bears and beautiful tulips.
ReplyDeleteDeniseinVA: Thank you for your always appreciative and encouraging comments.
DeleteI love the masked teddies!
ReplyDeleteHope your day finds you frolicking among the flowers.
Hugs
Sandra: The masked teddies were gorgeous weren't they? Next time I am in the area I will try and remember to stop in and say thank you.
DeleteNo garden frolicking today. It is raining AND I will be heading off to do a shift at Lifeline before long. The flowers will frolic happily without me.
All beautiful! I love the tulips and daffodils. And the daisies or daisy-lookalikes look so happy! Tell Mr. Ginger hello. He looks like a really laidback cat.
ReplyDeleteCarol Kilgore: Thank you. When next the ginger ninjah stops by I will say hello from you.
DeleteI can never get enough of flowers and spring, so I don't think you've gone over the top at all. Thanks for recommending Messymimi's blog. I had a great visit.
ReplyDeletecleemckenzie: I am pigging out on Spring with gay abandon. There will be MORE photos to come. I am glad that you enjoyed Messymimi's blog. She posts every day and puts an incredible amount of work into each post. If you want something done ask a busy woman...
DeleteI love spring flowers. So lovely seeing the tulips and bright colors in public and in your garden. Thanks for sharing so much sunshine and brightness with us. Love that the bears are wearing their masks too. :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy week.
~Jess
DMS ~Jess: The masked bears really made the Floriade reimagined display for me - and I think a lot of other people too. Thank you - and I hope your week is wonderful too.
DeleteThose teddies are a delight - as are your photos.
ReplyDeleteLady Fi: Thank you. I am really chuffed that so many of you liked the teddies as much as I did.
DeleteTulips and teddies with masks, would have never seen this if not for the pandemic. Your wild garden is a joy, just so many different colours and types of flowers. Keep the flowers coming for people like me. We don't have Spring here.
ReplyDeletekestrel: Thank you. I go into the garden with my camera most days - often several times a day. While I don't like our summer I am grateful to live in an area with marked seasons - and spring is a favourite.
DeleteI planted some of the red and yellow tulips. And don't you love that fringy white?
ReplyDeleteSandra Cox: Aren't the red and yellow tulips a lovely splash of colour. We have had more fringed tulips in other years - but I am hopeful that some more will emerge in the coming days.
DeleteI'm very late to comment here because of one hectic week. But I'm glad I stopped by because those knitted teddy bears are adorable!
ReplyDeleteJohn Wiswell: You are welcome whenever you drop by. I hope your hectic week was productive - and that you can rest. And yes, the teddies stole the show this week.
DeleteWhat a treat to see your lovely photos. I always look forward to seeing what you will show me. Your garden is a dream for me. I only garden on my deck now and didn't have much to show this year. We are going into autumn and my flowers will die the first time we have frost. Thanks for your blog.
ReplyDeleteGlenda Beall: Thank you. The garden is too big for me now, but for the moment I am persisting. I will have to give up/cut it back, but not yet.
DeleteI hope your autumn is beautiful and that next week is much, much better than this.
Hello There and hope you are well! I could sure use a hug from one of those bears today. Stay safe! RO
ReplyDeleteRO: Are you okay? I am sending hugs and concern your way. Today and every day.
DeleteAs we start to experience a little bit of autumn-like weather and the leaves consider putting on a show for us, it's a thrill to see spring busting out all over in your neck of the woods. The teddy bears are cute, but I think your garden is far more inviting than the public ones. They're kinda sterile, as though the person (or people) who planted those bulbs was just "doing a job." Your gardens reflect the love and care you've put into them.
ReplyDeleteTake care, dear lady. Have a wonderful weekend.
Susan: Thank you. There is nothing, but nothing sterile (or ordered) about my garden.
DeleteYou take care too. Please.
Bring on the flower pics.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is filled with flowers, purrfect weather, bird song and purrs.
Hugs
Sandra Cox: You may be sorry for encouraging me to feature flower photos. Again.
DeleteLove your weekend wishes and hope they come true - for me and for you.
Beautiful flowers, but The Ginger Interloper wins my Best Creation Award
ReplyDeleteAndrew R. Scott: He is beautiful, as is the older relative (I think) who sometimes visits with him. Jazz hates them both.
DeletePretty flowers and teddies ❤
ReplyDeleteKinga K.: Thank you.
DeleteI love those teddies! You made me laugh, when you said, there is always one, that doesn't wear a mask! LOL! So true EC! Your garden is gorgeous! I love Ginger too! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMagic Love Crow: Weren't the (mostly) masked teddies great? And thank you. The Ginger ninja is here often. Jazz is still not impressed.
DeleteThe blog is written in a good manner. The way its written is so interesting. good blog. thanks for sharing.
