White Wednesday...

hello!
after our long, long, long...
did I mention LONG...
winter...
the only whites I want to see outside right now are clouds...
with a bright blue sky behind them...
but on this post...
I'm going to be throwing some color your way, too...
because it's spring...
my first tulip...
and the clouds are just wonderful today...
and so is every tiny little leaf and bloom...
and it just makes you smile...
and all the white and blue and green are so welcome here...
and I have a few buddies who are still buried under white...
I hope all their snow melts this week so they can have spring, too...
but until then, I will share mine...
 with April...
the showers will begin later this week...
so these can get bigger...
and so the lavender will smell sweet again...
I have a thing for clouds...
my dad used to take me flying through them...
are you ready for roses?
oh, some of the blogs have them already...
I can't wait for them to bloom...
some people love flying on clear days when you can see everything for miles...
not me...
I like to fly above the clouds...
and then down through them...
and then back up again...
I can tell you one thing...
I did not have enough clothes on...
the breeze is stiff and cold...
I did have my ear muffs on...
maybe I should wear them on the outside of my hoody...
we were supposed to be in the high 50s...
but it hasn't gotten out of the 40s yet...
but, it's still better than 20 with snow and ice...

so...
Happy White Wednesday!
Hop on over and join Kathleen's Blog Party...
there are so many more whites there to enjoy!

Just waiting for it to hit 58...

but it's rising from 36 this morning to 43 now...
and look who decided to make an appearance today...
Mr Sun has popped his head out of the clouds to bring a pretty day...
I took a very short walk a little bit ago...
I knew the lilies were up here and the iris...
but this is what I was looking for this morning...
the first peony of the season...
this bed is 2 years old now...
and I like it...
and a little bunch of daffodils that were moved here last summer...
it's getting greener all the time...
and the daffodils are bobbing all ove the place in the wind...
yep, still got that...
a few things that will get worked on soon...
and put out when they get some clothes on...
I have a shirt for the guy but need one for the girlie...
may have to wait for a good rummage sale...
I want to have new heads cut this year and replace these...
need to use just plain boards and not particle board so they don't split...
I am thinking of going with brown noses, too...
well, that's it for now...
not sure what I am going to get done today...
you'll just have to check back later to see...
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
