Gonna Flaunt Them

Katarina, at Roses and Stuff already has her Blooming Friday post up, as it is Friday in Sweden.  When I went to get the link, I saw that Tootsie from Tootsie Time hasFertilizer Friday post up, too.  Katarina's theme is to find a photo that illustrates summer.  I should have read that before exporting my few spring blooms, but Katarina never minds if we stray from her theme.  It's bed time, so I'm going to go ahead and post them, and one photo of the kitchen from today.  It's amazing to see the progress.  They think they will be finished tomorrow.  There are a few problems, but they plan to take care of them.

The first several photos are of the same clump of crocuses.  The yellow ones are the ones I showed when in bud.


The party dress hellebore is starting to open.


This clump of crocus is near the curb.



I'll post more photos tomorrow or when I get some things on the shelves.

    Sue ~ I just love your kitchen. You will have to show before and after pictures when it's all done. You are going to enjoy this room so much. I love your wood cabinets, are they oak? Those guys have done a great job! I can hardly wait to see more pictures.

  11. We've been through the 'whole house' remodel and are on the third time around for some of it in this 150 year old cheese factory. The little guy looks like he's ready for spring... our grandsons are about his age and spent the weekend with us... fun to watch how they react to the things in the gardens... Larry

  21. Sue,

    Your photographs are utterly divine. Actually, I think they can be classified as "hortiporn", just so fabulous, you've captured the purple croaks perfectly. Well done you! A delightful part of my Friday night here in rainy Derbyshire.

  22. Great photos! I'm still having a hard time understanding how your crocuses in NE are blooming and mine in VA are not! Your cabinets look pretty. So does your blog color. Seems I've seen it someplace before...oh yeah, I had it for 2 or more years! I'm just taking a 'spring break' and will probably use it again as it's one of my favorites;-)

  27. Oh maaaaaaan - I looooove crocuses - or croci? LOL. Reminds me of Spring when I was a kid and lived somewhere with seasons and you'd look forward to them poking through the ground in early Spring. Ahhh memories. Gorgeous photos.

  29. Crocuses! Aren't they wonderful? My first crocus blooms opened today to join the snowdrops. What a joy to see flowers in the garden and feel the warmth of spring sunshine.
    The pictures of your grandson in the snow are adorable. He's bouncing! :)
    Happy first day of spring, Sue! I think I just said that in the last comment I left, but it's worth repeating :)
