Roses

My roses in our backyard have been so full and gorgeous this spring. In between rainy days I got a chance to get out and take a picture. I knew they weren't going to last forever so I had to hurry. The pink is so bright and pretty. I sure enjoy having them.

Buds

I have really noticed in the last couple of weeks how much the buds are coming out on the trees and bushes. I love it because it means winter is behind us. Although we did have some flurries today but at least if we do get any snow it won't last. Now to get the grass turning green and it will be looking more like summer. I can't wait!

Mowing

I just finished mowing our yard. I love the look of the yard after it has been freshly mowed. It almost looks like a green carpet. I also like the smell of fresh cut grass. It's the job of doing it that I don't enjoy. At least it was cooler outside so it wasn't as miserable.

Roses

This spring our rose bushes have really been blooming. They are so beautiful and I just had to get the camera out and take some pictures of them while they are so full of flowers. They really add to the beauty of our backyard.

Palm Trees

One of my favorite trees are palm trees and we saw many of them on our vacation to Florida. I never get tired of seeing them and I wish that we could grow them in the Midwest. Something about being around them makes it always feel like we are on a tropical vacation. They are so gorgeous.

Mowing

Tonight my husband has been busy mowing, trimming and now fertilizing our yard. I enjoy the smell of fresh cut grass and looking out to our fresh cut yard it makes it look like pretty green carpet. It is so gorgeous with the grass so green and the bushes in bloom and our hostas look amazing. I love this time of year.
