Very lovely proofs of the spring coming, at last. (Ruth....your header photo....it has snow in it....something is wrong with this picture....). :)

Ruth Hull Chatlien said...

Good catch, Jeanelle. Thanks.

Trish said...

Wow...we have NO flowers peeking out yet...wait...maybe we do...just no 'light' to see them in...rain, hail, sleet...gosh!

Have a good day my southern belle

Wow! How lovely to just sit and look at these! It's a lovely spring day here in the UK too!

Love those pussywillows against the blue sky! I see now that I need to plant some crocuses this fall.

I usually read your blog in "feed" status which does not show the header photo. Gorgeous roses!!!

Leann said...

Those same signs are showing up here. Love the picture on the masthead!

Thanks SO much for the idea with the dress. I hadn't thought of that.

Dawn said...

Such beautiful signs of spring! I love your new header photo.

Presbyterian Gal said...

What pretty pictures! Are those daffodils or crocuses or ???? Love the color.

Ruth Hull Chatlien said...

Crocuses. It will be nearly a month before I have daffs.

Lauralew said...

These are beautiful photos. I love new life in all of its expressions!

Songbird said...

Sweet, wish it were spring here!

Elizabeth G. said...

Woohoo! I see some of that here, too! On Sunday, it will be 70 degrees.

I am still thinking about your last post. Thanks!

Lovely...it rained all weekend (I adore rainy weekends) now we have some beautiful spring weather and I have been riding around with the top down admiring all the pretty blossoms!

Rosezilla said...

Gorgeous! Especially the roses in the header...

Kathy said...

Holy cow! Are those David Austin roses? And these are in your garden??? Wow! We have only buds, yet. I'm so excited about spring!

FranIAm said...

Ahhh....

rhymeswithplague said...

Winter is finally coming to an end. Ruth Hull Chatlien has changed the masthead on her blog!

Now if she could just get the weather to cooperate....

Connie said...

Okay so were the gorgeous roses in the header there yesterday??? Beautiful....from your yard I'm sure!

Juliann said...

Beautiful pictures. We had some sunshine yesterday and it was so great to leave the coat and gloves in the car.

nikkipolani said...

Yay! Spring is coming! How very soft are those fuzzy little nubs.

Border Explorer said...

Great photos...the artist's way. I switched my wardrobe from winter to spring yesterday. Yea!

L.L. Barkat said...

some of my favorite signs... ah, the pussywillows remind me of childhood places...

fiwa said...

Wow! Your header photo literally took my breath away!

Happy Spring to you too - and thanks so much for your kind words this week. It does make me feel better to know someone else has this strange thickening thing. All seems to be well, so I am grateful.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
love,
fiwa

Diane Vogel Ferri said...

I love pussy willows - but they bring back the time I got one stuck in my nose as a little girl - don't ask....

Mavis said...

Great pics. Planted my spring bulbs yesterday in anticipation.

Jan said...

I love pussy willows. Haven't seen real ones for decades.

Cheryl said...

Ah, Spring. Come on baby. I'm ready for you.

Singing Owl said...

Wow! Made me LOL. Yours is better because of just sky and pussywillows! And the crocuses...ah! We are supposed to get 11 inches of snow tomorrow. :-( Poor little buds.

Elizabeth G. said...

It snowed again today .... ugh.
