Garden tours

One of my favorite things to do in the spring is take a leisurely walk around the house to see what's growing and blooming. Since spring came so early this year it looks more like May out there than early April - just gorgeous - and a rainbow of colors! Everything from miniscule wildflowers to showy azaleas and bleeding heart, volunteers and faithful perennials.

 Forget-me-nots:

so much beauty in such a tiny package

Our ancient lilac bush:

just love those double blossoms!

Dogwood:

a timely reminder of the story of Easter

God is truly the best Gardener! He takes care of all the plants and flowers, despite my good intentions to help Him out. I can put them in the ground and give them food and water, but only He can make them grow and bloom so vibrantly. Amazing when I think he cares for us even more than these "lilies of the field"!

Thanks for touring the garden with me!
