Flowers

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

Flowers!

We are back and Spring is here. It’s a little cold, there was still frost on the grass this morning, but the day is sunny and beautiful. We are shopping for flowers. G and I are both artists. He loves to garden. I might, I’m about to find out. I know I love looking for plants! We both have an eye for landscaping and enjoy a big show of color.

Even as we drive, with leaves only starting to emerge on the trees, flowering bushes are everywhere! It a bonanza of color. You hear about the leaves in the New England Fall, but rarely do you hear about Springtime.

Its so beautiful. It’s a bit chilly, there’s some wind, but the sun is warm. There are patches of flowers everywhere! Blossoms on fruit trees, Pink flowering trees, that I don’t know the names of. Purple, yellow, pink bushes, do they even have leaves?

We filled the back of the jeep with tulips and pansies and a lilac bush. We hunted down the best prices in colors we could agree on. Our first big chore is to help with yard work. Planting and weeding and fertilizing. Between flowers and potential vegetables we are excited.
