Spring is here, in full bloom. Glory!
That means busy times here on the farm and in the gardens, regardless of any virus. Plants have no opinion about it, and go about their business in full force of the season.
It is time to bring cut flowers from the gardens into the house for Sunday meals with family. Virus or not, we have our Sunday meals together. We believe in the rich value of family, fresh air, and community immunity. Fresh air is magical.
There is little time to be on computer, as the outdoors is quite demanding this time of year. Spare moments for this primary farm operator are spent trying to catch the beautiful Barn Swallows on film out in the barn. Apparently they are camera shy, for every time I am out at the barn without my camera they are everywhere working on their homes in the barn. When camera is in hand, there is not one to be seen anywhere. I’ll catch them yet!
So in the meantime, here are a few photos of flowers in the vase on the dining room table. The floral arrangement in the second set of photos are not from the garden. I did not like the usual vase they were delivered in, so I put them in the ceramic one after the beautiful lilacs expired. The iris are blooming, I believe they will be next!
Thank you for stopping by. Hope these photos inspire the hope and joy of this Spring season in you.
Hope springs eternal. Blessings to you all.

So pretty! Now I have to do the same. At our old home my husband would always cut and bring me in roses. It was so sweet.
That is precious. Thank you for stopping by and your comment. ☺️
Gorgeous spring blooms! Here in Canada we are just seeing glimpses of leaves appearing on the trees so all this vibrancy is a welcome sight.
Thank you kindly! That is exciting knowing they are coming, isn’t it? 🙂
OH THE LILAC! I loved seeing them! Your Iris is a delight to see as well!
I had a beautiful lilac bush in Ohio. Mine at the Lake House in Pennsylvania are probably starting to bloom.
I hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day!
Thank you, Nancy. The lilacs and iris are so pretty this cool, wet spring. Happy Mother’s Day to you as well! 🙂
