Vernal Visions

Blooms

Happy First Day of Spring, everyone! Spring has already sprung here, I'm afraid, right into summer. It's been very hot and humid. Weird really. My lawn still isn't green, but some of the flowers that aren't supposed to bloom until March or April have already faded. I caught this cherry tree just minutes, I think, before it began its decline. I was on my way to church, stopped and snapped the picture, and when I returned, the tree had already lost much of its splendor.

Well, Spring is lovely, what I can see of it. My eyes have been so itchy and watery and gummy and swollen, till my vision isn't quite up to snuff these days.

Here's A's Little Yellow House, all gussied up in azaleas. Andy has a beautiful purple tulip tree in her front yard, but it was past its prime when I gook this photo.

I picked up my three quilted quilts from Lena yesterday. I'll show them, unbound likely, on Friday.
We're having a Sister Supper tonight at my house and I'm serving homemade chicken salad. I cooked my chicken breasts last night in the crock pot. Now I have to go put my salad together and spruce up the downstairs a little bit.

Here's Skipper basking in the spring sunshine coming through our living room window.

My computer is having a conniption this morning and will not cooperate. I can't do anything about the sqirrely formatting.

Our weather here in Indiana is weird, too. We went from winter to summer in a week! Not that I'm complaining about not shoveling snow, but I would have liked a couple of weeks of Spring before the Summer started!
Have a fun dinner tonight with all of your sisters!
Hugs...

What charming photos! Love Andy's new little house in its springtime splendor and Skipper in the puddle of sunshine is too cute!

Sorry you're bothered by allergies but welcome to the Sniffles club!

Here is Virginia it feels like May or June and one day last week the high was nearly 90*F. That is truly scary when you stop to think what June, July, and August might be like. Our Bradford pears and tulip tree bloomed and are putting on leaves now. The puzzlement is when to plant the veggies.

Your sister's dinner menu sounds festive and just right for this crazy weather.

Happy Spring Equinox to you!

Your daughter's Yellow House is so cozy looking! I'll bet they're thrilled living in such a great place! The arrangement in Skipper's picture is perfect...you ought to print it and put it in a 'doggy themed' frame! The tiny bit of nose peeking out is so cute!

Perfect photos! The cherry tree against the brilliant blue sky is awesome. The Little Yellow House looks so cheerful and neat as a pin. Azaleas are one of my favorite spring time blooming shrubs. I don't have any here because they need more water than I'm willing to provide.

We will all be so looking forward to photos of your three newest quilts! Sandy Gail

Wow! Your azaleas look GORGEOUS! We are several months behind you asfar as spring goes, but there are tiny shoots peeking up out of the earth now. Now let's just hope that we don't get more snow!!

Our weather is unreal too!!! We need rain to get rid of this pollen. But everything is just beautiful. I love it!!!

I love the little yellow house. The black shutters and shades of pink in the blooms and a shot of green is stunning. I have a quilt in mind using these colors and just might name it after Andy!
