A wander through the garden (by way of very soggy grass) reveals the first buds of spring - sharply pointed iris leaves, tiny hydrangea sprouts, neon green curled parsley, tight lilac buds, and almost grotesquely crumpled rhubarb emerging from the dark earth.
Primroses on this sunny Sunday hold just a few lingering drops of all the rain we've had this week. Sunshine and rain - that's what makes the garden grow! Hooray for the first Sunday in March!
Linking to Sunlit Sunday, hosted by Karen of My Little Home and Garden, and to
Mosaic Monday, hosted by Mary of the Little Red House.
Beautiful photos Lorrie. What a joy to see new growth from the earth. Have a blessed week. Pamela
ReplyDeleteHello, Lorrie
ReplyDeleteThere is something about the first signs of spring green that calls to my heart and says that the new season will be full of hope and promise. I'm still in snuggle-down mode here, with some snowflakes falling, but spring will come, slowly eastward. Please pass on a map for Spring, just in case.
Your mosaic is stunning, as are the vibrant primroses; thank you so much for participating in "Sunlit Sunday" with them.
Have a wonderful week.

Yes, hurray for March!
ReplyDeleteThat primrose is blooming in your garden now? I'm amazed. It is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYay for March, April, May and June.....so much newness all around!
ReplyDeleteThese small beginnings are indeed promises. I love all that that means.
ReplyDeleteLook at your garden emerging! I'm getting excited for my own to appear. Its been unusually cold this year.
ReplyDeleteMy rhubarb has been showing the same as yours for a few weeks now as are hyacinth, tulips, daffs and crocus. Clematis is also showing new growth. Love the promise of pretty things coming.
ReplyDeleteLovely signs of Spring-- it's almost here. Happy March~

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Primroses are great flowers for gardens.
ReplyDeleteEverything's trying to soak up some of the sunshine! I love the pretty primroses. I wonder if they grow well in a pot! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I must check my rhubarb - I love how its leaves come out so krinkly and fan out to be so large. I have some violas re-blooming in the deck railing planters - spring is coming spring is coming, tra la la la la laaaaaaaaa.
ReplyDeleteNo way! And here I thought Canada would still be under a heavy snow cover. But I guess your neck of the woods, er shore, is warmed by the Pacific. Beautiful, WARM photos!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a joy when we start seeing emerging bulbs and plants! My tulips are up about 2 inches! I haven't noticed any growth on my iris yet, maybe I'll go look tomorrow!
