Green Acres~ Now Bloom... Pretty Please...

Walked around very late Sunday evening~
Quiet ~ Not getting dark until almost 8 p.m.
Heard a train roll across town~ so long since we heard that sound...

So Peaceful ~ Sundays ~
Troubadour Singing... Old Beatles songs
around
the lovely old neighborhood...

She goes round & round like the sweet breeze of happiness~


Did I mention I'm a Green Acres fan? This was a Mother's Day gift
quite a few years back ~ I love it Dahhling!
Everything is Green, but we're still waiting, waiting...
for things to bloom~
kind of patiently, kind of!

See Zeke's waiting for something to bloom!

We had a dog go by and bark and bark at the cats,
Zeke didn't like it much

but it only took a couple of boofs - the cats don't even move since
they make the rules. Zeke's their "protector"
so they don't even get up~

This is the little greenhouse, the cats jump over it to get
inside of the gate...
once had an angry possum try to get over, he didn't make it over
he was quite angry out here in the "country" though
(he's okay, put back into the wild with family, oops, I mean she!)

Geraniums are about the only thing blooming right now...

I've always loved succulents - my grandma always had them around
we'd look for hours at the Cactus and Hubcap City (a whole other story!)

From the french garden cart, another memory, but from Grandma T.

A little basket hanging on the fence...

And my favorite, lost one last year and my husband
surprised me with two new angel trumphets~
I love them. Only one has started to bloom now
but the smell is wonderful at night!


Happy Week, I still have some Spring cleaning to do
(I cheated, took Friday - Sunday off! - ssshhh!)
and I have some goodies to show you from darling
Sarah at Gypsy Mermaid (yes, they are still wrapped)...
am I the only one that likes to keep pretty parcels wrapped
and open them days later? I gaze over at them
just knowing they're waiting just for me!

xoxo, Tracie
