Roses, roses and more roses!

Are your gardens ready yet? This year I got a head start and now I am enjoying all the blooms. From the front windows I look out and see lots of red roses blooming and various other flowers. However, the roses are sure putting on a show:)

When I am here in the back of the house I have a kaleidoscope of color and blooms. A yellow and red rose grafted together is just beautiful right outside my desk window. I am going to have to go cut some of these roses and bring inside. Guess the mircle grow is doing it's job along with a lot of help from God. My Easter lillies will be blooming soon. And my day lillies are blooming every day. Oh yes the confederate jasmine is filling the air with wonderful perfume! A person could get drunk on all the aromas.. ha ha I just love it all. Me and my flowers have a great time and my conversations with God seem to be much better when I'm in my gardens.

I found this and will share flower meanings. Of course we all know that the Rose means Love, Freesia is Trust, Carnations is Joy, Mint is Virtue, Sweet Basil is Good Wishes, Primrose is Youth, Ivy is Friendship, Pansy is for Warm Thought, Snowdrop is Hope, Jasmine is Grace and Rossemary is Remembrance.

My bird feeders are attracting some wonderful birds and I'm esp. enjoying the Indigo Buntins. The bright blue is so beautiful to look at. My nephew Stephen was here for the weekend recently and he tried to take a picture but the blue birds flew away. I will try and see if I can capture their beauty. The forest behind my house provides such a wonderful haven for all the birds and those pesky squirrels! I have a mockingbird nesting in my Wisteria vine over my swing. It will be nice to watch the babies hatch and fly away. I always worry for the little birds, but I know our Heavenly Father takes care of the birds just as He does us all.

Take time in your life to smell the flowers and enjoy the Spring before the hot Summer begins.
I gotta go fill up my hummingbird feeders. Blessings and God's peace to all.
