It has been cold, windy and rainy here for the last few days, and I needed something to brighten the day. So here are a few reasons I love springtime, and it inspires me.
My irises began blooming last week, and I took a few individual shots before the rain set in. Here's another-
The rest of them decided to fully open during the storm. The strong wind gave the flowers a beating, so I have no photos of the eyecatching group. But I find the vivid colors and shapes of the irises inspiring, I have a few ideas in my head for an art quilt.
When I looked out the upstairs window the other morning, this little cutie was resting on the shortest stub of a branch he could find-
When my kids were little, I tamed a few squirrels and they would eat from my hand. They lost all fear of people, which made them very vulnerable, and sadly not everyone thinks they are as cute as I do. So for their safety I stopped feeding them. But I still enjoy watching them and having them around.
Oh, those Irises photograph so beautifully !
ReplyDeleteSorry the others took a beating......same way with my Geraniums.....fortunately, I finally thought to bring them in the house, after their blooms were all beaten off by the rain. Now they're back out and have already sent up a new shoot of buds !
Cool and rainy here, too.........perfect sewing weather....that's why I'm prolific (that, and no houseful of kids to run after !) Poor hubby gets fussed out just for requiring 3 meals today ! Ha ! Praise the LORD that hubby has a good nature !
Dolly, geraniums are great, you can enjoy them all summer:) Lol, it's great that you have such a good hubby!
