Spring Is Definitely Near

   Hello, I have missed visiting you all, and your visits too! We took a bit of time to do some Spring cleaning, rearranging, to bring in more light. Things do look a lot brighter, don't you think?

    I can't believe how awful our lawn looks! It is still very cold, too cold for me...to start cleaning, clearing, cutting, pruning. You know, all that stuff that makes everything pretty; yet, it has to be done.

  Through all of this, isn't it wonderful how these beauties above can burst forth and display their awesome selves?
They were here back in mid-February. The Dogwoods also seem to have bloomed early this year.

Of course the Red Camellia did well, but sad to say, we lost our others. Too bad, because they helped us in winning a nice award for their perfect forms.

  The pink Azaleas are early this year too. If there is an Easter snap this year, we may have problems with these early bloomers.

  I' m going to continue to work out the kinks here on the blog. Nevertheless, we are back and will be visiting shortly.  
 We want to Welcome all who are new followers, and invite you to come and jump in anywhere...we certainly don't stand on any ceremonies...
Just plain simple folks carving out a simple life and living. If you're looking for this...well, you found it! Welcome...

Come on back to see us as often as you can...the door is alway open At Our House....

All The Best....
Loretta & James
