Is it Spring?

By the look of our yard, it will soon be Spring!

This is definitely the “little cilantro that could.” The squirrels have dug in this pot so many times burying things, I’m amazed anything has made it. But it has!

This bush lines the back of our porch. It was here, but I don’t remember it having flowers when we moved here in the fall.

I’m not sure what is in the corner of that bed. A weed? Or is it something worth keeping around?

These tulips were our contribution. I had no idea all of the flowers were already in the yard. So it does seem a bit gluttonous, but you can never have any too many flowers right? We kept the squirrels away from the bulbs with some chicken wire.

Here is a calla lily! There are not too many blooming yet, but they all look like they will all be popping soon!

I think these are called bird of paradise. These are on the other side of our house. They seem almost too exotic for a yard, but I love them! I can see them when I drive up the driveway.

I hope Spring is coming in your area too. I think St. Louis is expecting snow today, bummer.

Peace,

Katy ^_^

PS Does anyone else use WordPress? For the life of me, I cannot get the images centered unless the text is centered. What is going on? Half the time the images are mixed up centered and not. I’ve looked at the code and it is coding the image as text, so any suggestions? I removed the text tags and still no luck. Perhaps it is my browser. I’ve tried Camino and Safari without luck.

    It’s looking like Spring up here as well! I saw your skirt muslin – looking good :) Way ahead of me – I need to make some time for sewing up some clothes. I was thinking of trying to get some work done this week. We shall see :)
    As for the WordPress situation – not sure!

    Katy this looks so nice! I hope the garden is helping you feel more at home. Yes, those are birds of paradise. They are just gorgeous. We grew up with them in our yard in Phoenix. Hope you are well!
