April is a Beauty Queen
Spring has been quite even tempered this year. It hasn't been too cold, and it hasn't been too hot. Perfect.
While I've been longing for a hot, sunny day, it's better that we haven't had any. The flowering trees and bulbs have kept their blooms much longer this way.
Honestly, I've never seen such a beautiful spring. I suppose we say that every year, because spring feels so welcome after frigid winter. But this year it seems especially sweet.
The grass is so fresh and green that I'd like to roll around in it! But sometimes I actually do worry about what the neighbors would think. But only sometimes.
Every blooming tree makes me catch my breath. It's so pretty that I just want spring to last and last.
But spring will transition into summer, and then I'll start to swoon over what a beautiful season summer is. And then fall will come, and we all know how gorgeous the fall colors are. But I draw the line at winter. There's no way that it will ever be my favorite.
So I'll just go on swooning over this perfect spring. I'm sure you'll all agree, it's a real winner.

How refreshing and rejuvenating your post was, sissy! Makes me want to run around my neighborhood and smell every blossom and praise God, our Master Creator!!
ReplyDeleteSpring is such a blessing after the long cold winter!
DeleteI agree, spring is worth swooning over! We are headed rapidly toward summer here, and summer is NOT my favorite season, though my garden and I are learning to cope with the high heat and humidity. The secret is lots of evergreens sprinkled with a few heat loving tropicals. And air-conditioning!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a summer lover, until I hit a certain age group where I started making my own heat. Now I'm not so crazy about it, even if it does bring my favorite flowers!
DeleteRobin girl you are still ahead of me but with the amazing weather we have had we are catching up fast !
ReplyDeleteKent Beauty's secret is excellent drainage .. when I took it out of the pot to plant it for the winter it went in a protected bed (from wind) with absolutely best drainage possible ... we can grow it in our zones if we get conditions and placement spot on ! It is a beauty when it flowers ... I will be potting it up for the season and it will go back to it's place in the Fall.
Good luck girl .... gorgeous flower pictures !

I did finally buy Kent, and put it in a container, so I'm hoping for good things!
