Bursting Forth
















Oh, how I love spring. Everything is just bursting with life. The hellebores and the forsythia are blooming at our Little Red House right now. More to come soon. I try to spend as much time as I can out in the garden, and there is a lot to do! We are also smack in the middle of the spring track and field season, and spring travel soccer. Some days I don't know if I'm coming or going. I'm sure you all know how that feels.



So from our crazy, busy house to yours -- Happy Saturday, dear bloggers!

  1. Happy Saturday to you, too. I love every day, but I have a special fondness for weekends.

    I'm having my coffee now, and just enjoying the quiet.

  4. How busy life can get and, before we know it, things slow down a little as our young ones began to outgrow these soccer, basketball,track adventures...you take a few breaths and...whamo...grandkids come along and it starts all over again.(I have 3 little granddaughters asleep in my bed, as we speak! :)
    AIN'T LIFE GRAND!
    You flowers are MUCH prettier than anything blooming around our part of the country!
    Happy weekend to you, sweet Mary....

  10. I love spring, your pics are beautiful. The blooming flowers are definitely one of my favorite parts of of Spring. That and all the cute baby animals running around. They look so carefree and like they are truly enjoying their little frolics. Spring makes me feel like I want to frolic and have fun.
    Thanks and have a great weekend.
    (I discovered your site on "Wine on the Keyboard" and I love your pics. and how so many of your posts-that I've seen-are about beautiful decorating ideas and passions. I have really enjoyed it so far.)

  11. The bluebonnets are "a-bloomin" in the heart of Texas. WELCOME SPRING! Soon we'll have a wildflower quilt on the sides of our highways.

  12. Happy Saturday!! Those flowers look so pretty... We had a few snow flurries earlier today (winter will just not end!) but I did notice the other day that my tulips are starting to come up... just the leaves (no flowers yet), but that's a sure sing that spring is finally on its way!!!
    Enjoy your weekend :)

  14. I can't wait to begin my gardening! I usually wait until May to plant flowers and herbs and vegetables.

    Enjoy all the sports activities! Some of my fondest memories are sitting on a cold bleacher with a thermos of hot coffee cheering on the team. It's over way too soon.

    Hugs, Pat

  20. Forsythia is just one of my favorites! I didn't get too many blooms on mine this year for some reason. If it ever stops raining, I'm headed out to get some shots of the few blooms it does have.
