Pictures of Springs Gone By Are Reminders of Springs to Come

What type of bulbs do you have in your garden? When do you plant them?
I lived outside of Atlanta for a few years and missed Spring bulbs immensely. I found a book at the library on what types of bulbs could be grown in Georgia climate and found it was as easy as in the Midwest. The secret, I had to refrigerate the bulbs for six weeks in the winter and then place them into the soil in early February and lo and behold I had tulips and jonquils just like I had always enjoyed in my Midwest garden.
If you live in the southern regions of the States or any other part of the world where the temperature never drop low enough to cool the soil try the refrigerator trick and you can have them Spring or Fall.
I have so many spring flowers I love I am going to share a few this week.
Creeping phlox is one of my favorite in early spring…and in the background the crimson azaleas are in the shade and you can barely see the buds ready to burst on the rhododendron.
Magnolia Blooms
Let’s keep looking at these reminders of what we can expect in just a few weeks!!!









Ok gals, I don’t know about you, but SNOW has become a really bad 4 letter word for me. I know I’m not alone. I saw the weather map this morning and we’ve all been getting dumped on it seems. This is what we woke up to this morning in our part of the midwest.

Ah, such pretty things to look at over and over again as they rotate through my personal picture show. Tell us how you take time to enjoy all the photos you take…scrapbook, slide shows, photo frame, printed pictures on your walls?
I know it is too early to be thinking about Spring. I mean, really, we have 2 feet of snow on the ground, an arctic blast settling in the next few days with temperatures below zero, and more snow on the way.
