It was so lovely to sit in the shade garden today after work. Our Texas Gold Columbine is in full bloom and I love the unusual shape of the full flower, just exquisite. Texas Gold Columbine is a perennial and of course native to Texas. It does best in shade to part sun and blooms [...]
I could not wait to get home today. It was 70 degrees outside, the sun was shining and my garden was waiting for me. The smiley face of this tulip caught my eye and I could not resist posting it tonight. What a perfect day !!
When Paul and I got married we received a beautiful wedding card from Bobby and Lydia. It was a photograph printed on card stock paper of two parrots kissing which was taken in the exotic country of Brazil. The card was uniquely hand-made by Bruce Rosensteil of Small World Photos. I put the card in [...]
On the First Day of Spring in Bedford, Texas we had snow. Old Man Winter will not leave the building !!
These dianthus are perennial so they should will do fine. It is supposed to be back up in the 70’s by Tuesday.
But Paul brought my two pots of spring bulbs in under the porch to [...]
See the land her Easter Keeping,
Rises as her Maker rose.
Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,
Burst at last from winter snows.

Shores and woodlands ring with voices
While the wild birds build and sing

I caught these two love birds in our yard on Saturday. They sat on top of the flower bowl for quite awhile and posed for many pictures. It was such a beautiful weekend to be in the garden. Thank God Spring is finally Here !!
Tonight I came across a picture I took of a grasshopper that visited our garden on August 30, 2008. As there has been nothing to post about recently with all this winter weather and in extreme anticipation and celebration of Big D rounding the turn towards the most anxiously awaited spring in P&B’s Garden History [...]
The robins are so confused. As you know, they have been hanging out in our trees for the past few weeks. Today we saw hundreds in the skies flying above the falling snow at P&B’s Garden chirping ….. “When is it going to be spring in Dallas? It is way past due and there is [...]
It was difficult to find a weekly blog posting today
because there is nothing going on at P&B’s Garden as we wait for Spring……
The birds continue to gathering in all the trees…… just waiting………
Inside Paul built us a roaring fire to keep us warm as we wait………….
Herbs are flourishing in the kitchen window ….also [...]
I went to Calloway’s this weekend to buy some pansies. I saw this sign at their front door and just had to smile. I am so happy that Spring is coming. I am so tired of leaving for work in the dark and coming home in the dark.
And today it is warm and on Friday [...]
