Living the Dream in Retirement
Less than a week ago I was in flip flops…today it’s been snowing all day and I’m back to wearing Uggs.
While there is a chill in the air in Michigan, a combination of rain and sunny days has kept my garden flourishing. A freeze is imminent so I’m getting some photos of the last beautiful blooms …while I can. Enjoy!
Sunshine, blue skies, warming temps and light steady rains are making my garden “pop” back to life, with blooms emerging from under last autumn’s leaves. Here’s a few flowers that brightened my Tuesday.
A week of extremely hot weather including several soaking rainstorms sent my garden into overdrive. Multiple varieties of lilies, my first hydrangea and black-eyed Susan blossoms and every variety of hostas sent up their blooms. This gallery represents a stroll through my garden today.
After seemingly endless rain we’ve had two gorgeous, sunny days and my garden is responding with enthusiasm.
Upon returning from my vacation earlier this week I was heartened to see the beginnings of my garden returning to life. Though today is a cold, dreary and rainy one I managed to capture the first flowers of 2019, here in my garden in Michigan.
Seriously, buds on the trees and a full-on snow storm. The winter that would not end.
With wishful thinking I put the pretty tulip garden flag out yesterday. Premature? Jinx?
