Wisteria.......

Out and about recently, and thought I would check one more time this Spring to see if the wisteria was in bloom on the old silos.  So glad I did..........
Around 4:30PM and facing the West was not the best time to be taking pictures, but since have not had much luck photographing the wisteria when in bloom I took my chances.

Hoping everyone is enjoying Spring in all its "blooming  glory" as it arrives in your part of the country.

Spring has Sprung ....

I have been working a "Dab of This and That" at a time to get the courtyard cleaned up, and ready for a trip to a big box and/or nursery to add some pretty blooming annuals.
Regardless of "that yellow film" that covers everything outside this time of the year, I took the camera out and snapped a few pics of the azalea blooms that are about to explode.
The buds are as pretty as the blooms, especially after such a bitter cold Winter, and too many episodes of ice and snow.
I only have the 2 dwarf azaleas in my courtyard, and one nearly always lags a bit behind the other when it blooms. Noticed today the buds had some catching up to do.  However, that is ok, as there will be blooms for a longer period.
Of course the "puny" little hosta did its usual appearance. Pops up, grows a few inches then stops.  That is it all it has done the last few years.
Have already told daughter to dig it , and a "puny camellia" up and take them with her the next time she is here.  I suspect her flower beds were well fertilized with the "standard farm yard mix" for many years before they moved there. Maybe she will have better luck with the hosta and camellia than I have had.

Well, the photo session was short, as that "yellow stuff" sent me into a sneezing, coughing, eye watering, itching fit.

Don't know about anyone else, but I love seeing the buds and knowing the explosion of blooms is just around the corner.

Lets Hit the Road....

Lets hit the road!
You can see all kinds of things traveling down the road. Wonder where these big boys were headed?
A stop for lunch....
and then the arena starts to fill up.
and then....!!!!!
And the party continued in the night.......
What? No takers to ride the carousel the next morning!?!

 Did I take this overnight trip and enjoy the sounds of Fleetwood Mac? No, however, my daughter and SIL did go and said they had a great time.
Being in that crowd at the arena would have sent me over the edge ! Can you say "Claustrophobic"!
