A Perfect Weekend

I love to spend time with Brian. This weekend I enjoyed watching him work on all the arrangements for their trip to Antigua Guatemala. Amazing. He and Jennifer are going to have such a great time. While they are gone, I will sit in the garden and enjoy all the flowers of fall.

A Lovely May Day

Texas Gold Columbine

Bonnie — Thu, 06 May 2010 02:49:23 +0000

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 in the spring. It grows to about 2 feet by 2 feet. The leaves are soft and light green.

Shade Garden today after work…..

What A Perfect Day

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 !!

Photography Lesson #1

Bonnie — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 01:59:02 +0000

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 my stack of things that I wanted to learn and this year it finally bubbled up to the top of my pile. I am so glad it did. I have come to find out that Bruce Rosensteil is an expert photographer who also gives photography lessons and grew up in My Kind of Town.

Today I had my first class at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens with Bruce and here are a couple of my favorites.

Thank you Bruce, I am looking forward to my next class.

Old Man Winter Go Home

Bonnie — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:46:20 +0000

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 keep them safe.

See the land her Easter Keeping,

Rises as her Maker rose.

Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,

Burst at last from winter snows.

Earth with heaven above rejoices;

Fields and gardens hail the spring;

Shores and woodlands ring with voices

While the wild birds build and sing

Love Birds

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 !!
