My Romantic Home

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 

Now that Christmas is over I'm ready for Spring!!!  It happens every year at this time for me! It's a good thing I live in sunny California!  It actually hasn't been very sunny here, it been raining a lot lately but the sun was out today so I went to the garden center and bought some flowers for my garden.  These are all winter and early spring flowers here.

I started working in my little garden this afternoon. It's a bit of a muddy mess but it was fun. I pruned all my roses, transplanted a lemon bush from a pot to the ground and raked up all the old tan bark I had under the plants. It's still a mess out there so I have to get up and finish it tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll plant the flowers and add the fresh tan bark. The tan bark keeps Beau from getting all muddy when he goes out it the yard!  

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to keep up with my yard work! I sort of let it go last year because I was always gone on the weekends.  This summer I want to have a beautiful patio again.

I love gardening...or maybe I should say I love having a pretty garden. I could do without the weeding and trimming but the results are worth the hard work!

My yard is very small but it does make it a lot more manageable that a large one!

I love violas and pansies!   

I can hardly wait until Spring now to plant some of the flowers that come out then!
