What's New Today?

This is going to be fun to work with, I already started to work with Noro Daria and also the Hemp I got at the local Alamitos Bay yarn shop....

Our pond has cleared right up with the new algee treatment and our fish are really happy.

Mr Blue Jay came over yesterday and gathered his favorite treat...peanuts...I actually throw them out for "Chi Chi" my backyard squirrel, but he beat him to it today....they are quite noisy and forceful about what they want..

I love taking photos and while enjoying my front yard that is blooming up a storm I caught this shot of a bee pollenating my white daisy. Isn't it amazing.....

My front flowerbeds are just screaming with color....we went to Palm Springs over the weekend and I just loved this man made waterfalls at the Ritz. I wish I could have captured the sound of the water, it was so relaxing, but my camera's batteries ran out after Bob took this shot.. :(

My Garden is a Blooming!

This little gut I call "Chi Chi" he loves to pose for me and he is my backyard pet squirrel...and the other little one is in my front yard flowerbed, my daughter gave him to me...

This is called a hybrid geranium and I love its purple color....

I went around and took some snaps of my blooming garden...and WOW the colors were amazing...I love spring when everything just jumps up and sings and the insects and birds are chirping and buzzing away...so stroll with me through some of my flowers... This red and white is another hybrid geranium that my son got me in 2004 on Mother's Day when we went to the Queen Mary in their flowerbed he snipped off a branch and it has grown in my front yard ever since...the purple and white daiseys are in my front yard along with my succulent red bead plant and Gerber Daiseys.The orange ones are called Parrots Beak and they grow around my pond, sooooo pretty...and the pink ones in the flowerpot are impatients and hang from the front tree

The yellow daisys are out front, and the orangish blooms are around the pond and it is a water plant called, Orange Canna.

The white potted ones here are my sweet smelling Jasmine flowers....

So as you can see my yard is blooming all kinds of colors....

WOW...love flowers!!!

Oh I must not forget to add a little crochet...this is a picture of a crocheted hanger sachet that I made for my swap partner in the All Around the House bedroom swap for March...I love this pattern asn will make lots more for gifts, but I am changing it to baby hangers, the bigger ones are just too big!!
