Merry Month of May

Hoping everyone is enjoying the "Merry Month of May".

I think these two are.

The woodland hyacinths seem to be...

The lilacs too!

Discovering this nest certainly made my heart merry.

Have a wonderful start to the month of May.

God Bless

Memories of Mom

 I have so many wonderful memories of Mom. 

Today with it being Mother's Day I pulled out one of her journals and read a few pages.  It was dated July 1995.  She mentioned that she and I had gone shopping and ate lunch at a quaint place "River Biscuit Inn".  I had forgotten about this restaurant until I read Mom's words.  

For just a brief moment we were once again together laughing and enjoying the lovely food and atmosphere.  It was like a special visit with her as sweet memories of that day transported me to another time and place.  

 Fortunately Mom and I had so many of those type of days.  Grocery shopping together, visiting local gardens and nurseries, library stops and just enjoying a cup of coffee and looking at old recipes made ordinary times extraordinary.

Often after spending a day together

She would say to me "it was the best day" and I would say "it certainly was".  Then she would say "I just don't want it to end."  I'd reply "me too Mom!"

May God Bless All Mothers Today!

Hugs

Blooming

Here are a few pics of what has been blooming at Harmony Hills this past week.

Orange tulips with Virginia Bluebells... they make a lovely pair.

 These pink azaleas always tell me spring is in full swing.

A few of the later variety of daffodils are still bringing cheer along the woodland path.

Pink Bleeding hearts never fail to to bring joy to mine.

 The sweet scent of lilacs always evoke precious memories of my Grandmother.  They were a favorite of hers.

 Well there you have it friends.   Hope you enjoyed the garden tour.   Thanks for letting me share what has been blooming here.

Have a Blessed Week!

The Garden

 Let me welcome you to the garden.  Hope you will enjoy a spring stroll.

These brilliant daylilies are just beginning to open.

 

The Star of Bethlehem does so much to brighten a shady spot.

 

 Blue and white columbine tumble down a leaf strewn bank.        

Pink Bleeding Heart dance so delicately upon their perch.

 

Perfume from the lilacs scent the air.

 

It was so nice you took a few moments to visit the garden.  

Thank you for stopping by.   Have a blessed evening!
