There is one particular hybrid that’s named “Laughing Jackass” but not this one. They all seemed to be laughing all the same.

This is from a few days ago when we had lots of frost around. Now it’s rain, a good step on the way to spring.
Happy Saturday.
I saw some buds on the ash tree saplings lining one of the city streets! I unfortunately didn’t have any kind of photographic device with me in order to post a picture here, but these little buds were a wonderful sight to see!

In that spirit, I’m posting some spring flower pictures from last year; I hope they brighten your spirits and help you to forget for a bit about the cold, the wet, the snow, and the wind.



Happy Friday!
In anticipation of the warmer months and because so much of the country is presently – and quite literally – struggling through massive snow banks and/or mentally just trying to fight off the icicles and snow flakes, here are a few summer pictures.







After taking a look through my collection of flower pictures, I definitely feel a lot brighter!
Happy Wednesday.

There’s a lot of cold/snowy/windy weather happening right now all over the country so I think a look at the coming attractions are in order.





These flowers and many others will be coming soon to a spring and summer near you!
Happy Tuesday. 🌼
I found these little matador roses blooming merrily along in a protected little corner next to a walkway.

Such a lovely January find!

Happy Friday.
