These tulips didn't make an appearance last year, but I've got three this year! Maybe this fall I'll actually plant daffodils in this side bed. (i've been saying that since we moved in, 2010!)
Of course, this is how I'm spending this beautiful day, sitting on the couch with my ladies, watching Mad Men on netflix. I finally started watching it, and now I'm hooked! I'll do my best to go out later. Phyllis makes it pretty hard though.
I just got hooked on Mad Men too. I am on Season 2 Ep 12 now!!
ReplyDeletei just started season 3! i am dreading getting to the end because then i'll have to wait with everyone else!
DeleteOh, lilacs are dreamy! That first one - the pink one - is an azalea bush. We have an almost twin on the front of our house. Oh god, Mad Men. The first two seasons were SO addictive. You're in for the long haul, sister. Tell Phyllis that there is a dog episode but it doesn't end well so when Duck Phillips gets involved, she should go outside and play.
ReplyDeleteoh good! i wonder where the azalea came from. it just appeared last year and is slowly taking over a much more boring shurb.
Deleteoh my god i didn't like duck much in the first place, but that episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i was SO PISSED. i hate him now.
Oh, that face! How can you even leave to go to work when you see that little face?
ReplyDeleteI love dogwoods, I have a whiteish light pink one right in front of my bedroom window and I looooove it. If I remember I'll send you some of my daffodil bulbs in the fall, I'm digging mine up since I have soooo many and I won't replant all of them. They are old so they bloom HUGE.
ReplyDeleteyessss please!!!!! i need some so bad. we had them at the last house we lived at, and they were old and huge adn i miss them so much!!
DeleteI was late to the Mad Men party as well - I wish I wasn't all caught up now, it's so hard to wait a week until the next episode - or until the end of the season. Yo dogwoods are looking great - I have a few white ones in my yard, but they're not hot pink, so, not as awesome.
ReplyDeletei'm dreading catching up. i don't have cable so i'll have to wait forever until they put them on netflix! life is so hard. haha.
DeleteA lovely Phyllis and beautiful flowers, too!
ReplyDeleteLove Ellen, Zoe, Peyton, Webster & Liberty
Oh what a beautiful garden (sigh)... Mad Men... Love love love! Have watched them all and I re-watch often. Phyllis = Adorable :-)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful, but not as beautiful as Phyliss

you show an interest in the plants in your yard but you're not out there digging in the dirt! rae, you should totally check out a book on gardening from the library and get your hands dirty! plant some things this year! i used to be a plant killer too, but now i've got a happy little deck garden! you've got to start somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI never saw such a beautiful tree (the one with the pink flowers).Were do you live?
ReplyDeletein nashville tennessee! the tree seems extra pink this year! but it could just be my silly brain making that up.
DeleteBeautiful flowers! Love when Spring is in full bloom! I love Mad Men, watched the first two episodes of series five last night, it just keeps getting better and better x
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful in your yard. And of course Phyllis is the cutest of them all.

Pee-s: Momma is doing some spring cleaning and found some old fabric that her mother had. I know how much you love old fabrics and thought you might like them. Please email at itstiffytime at yahoo dot com and let me know if you are interested in them. I can have Momma send some photos so you can see what they are all about.
I cannot stop taking photos of flowers and trees! Nature is so incredible. The same things happen each year but it always feels new, like the first time. I'm so glad to see spring!
ReplyDeletei can't either! when my quince bush blooms i take a picture of it almost every day!! i love it so much. and you are right, it feels so new and excting every year.
DeleteOh WOW that pink dogwood IS beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWoah! Pink dogwood! That thing is gorgeous! I've got a white one right out my bedroom window, it's just starting to bloom. But I'd toss it over my shoulder any day if I could trade with yours. :)
ReplyDeleteI just started watching Mad Men too, and I can't believe how much I like it, about half way through the 2nd season.
