(Side note: These azaleas are over 6 feet tall and cover a HUGE area - hard to tell in the picture)It's finally Spring - I hesitate to say it too loud - afraid I will scare it off - but yes - I do believe it may be here to stay. Ok - so the fun begins - well - at least for ME.
Last year was AWFUL - I couldn't do anything in the yard - no planting - no cleaning - no raking - no NOTHING!! I did have wonderful friends who came over and planted things FOR me - Mom and Daddy came and raked and cleaned our flower beds while I just SAT THERE watching - WISHING I could do something. The one thing that I was able to do some last year was water plants - which is good I guess because as we all know they don't do so good without water.
Now - this year I have already been hard at it - just finished cleaning out the Hosta garden - nothing really happened with it last year so it was pretty bad - now just need to put down the pine straw - something that is VERY plentiful in Mississippi.
Tuesday I'm going shopping for plants and get busy putting them in pots for the porches. We don't do alot of flower beds here - living on the lake and in the country it is really acceptible to just throw the plants out there and enjoy wherever they come up. Container gardening is a biggie with me - trying new combinations - colors - etc is always fun. Going to a nursery is like going to the toy store for me.
So - just wanted to let you all know that Spring has sprung at the lake - azaleas are blooming - dogwoods are gorgeous and the redbuds this year were the prettiest I've ever seen. Come see it!!

I love the pictures! It definitely looks like spring has sprung. :)
And if I can start running, I think anyone can! You should try doing the program I'm doing, Couch to 5k! It starts off very slowly with the running (only 60 seconds at a time). And doing running/walking intervals is a GREAT way to increase endurance and burn more calories! You can do it!
wow! so beautiful! we wish you guys could come help our yard like our friends did last year! :)it really makes a difference on what your house looks like. it was so nice to pull up to our house...we didn't feel like it was ours! yours looks so beautiful and worth the hard work!
How beautiful!!! I know that it makes you feel wonderful to get out and work in the yard. And it makes me feel wonderful to know that you can this year!! Love, Mom
