Spring Has Sprung

Spring is here and it’s killing me not to be able to get out and plant new stuff.  With the house sold, it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to spend money on something I’m going to leave behind. But I’ve been out in the yard a lot lately, taking pictures of all the blooming beauties. I know the neighbors think I’m a nut job, but with one foot out the door (or out of the neighborhood), I just don’t care anymore!!  (Not that I cared all that much before, but I did try to time my photo shoots when nobody was around.) 

I’ll try to make my gardening posts to somewhat instructive, but this one is all about showing off the blooms.  These pictures are a week or two old, so I’m going to have to head out again. Watch for the plant paparazzi!

And check out my new umbrella (the picture is fuzzy because it’s from my phone).

I’m not sure if they’re still on sale (I snagged this last week), but Southern States had 9 foot umbrellas for $39.99!!! And even better, if you go to their website and sign up as a new user, you can score a $5 coupon. Yep, I got this ginormous bad boy for $36 with tax. Good thing it tilts, because I think it might be bigger than my new deck!
