meadow

although i know i'll miss lighting the fireplace, it's spring we've all been waiting for and here in california it's spring, almost. new life hinting, peeking through the soil and branches, lots of daily sunshine, less and less foggy, gloomy days and all is focused on the garden, dreamt or otherwise.

my lilac ever gratifying

snapdragons, always a must for color

and the canterbury bells in innocent white amidst the camomille

shammrock & chives

this one was an intuituitive find since i love white flowers, it's called bridal wreath and turns out to be an esay grower in any soil and/or spot

bachelor's buttons

\

& the ready to be planted betty white and queen elizabeth roses

a california native

and a great idea from good ol martha stewart

lots of blisters on my hands now due to the ever invasive weeds

so for sure you will find me in the garden or at the local garden center ever closer to my dream meadow, preparing for that pre-summer party overlooking the city lights.  bring out the mimosa's.
