It Looks Like Spring

We have had such lovely spring weather here in the Heart of Georgia...
Sunny days and they make all the difference!
The white pansies in our Fiberglass Window Boxes from Flower Framers of Cincinnati have been blooming all winter...
Our Pot Plants are being brought out from the green house, back onto the Patio.
Today around 4:00 PM it was 24°C or 75°F
Husband Pieter made this photo at breakfast time. That's our view from the kitchen bay window.
The other Japanese magnolia, Magnolia x soulangeana is now in full bloom.
A huge pine tree once fell on it and split it in half but it is still surviving and doing its best!
Through the rose arbor and with perfect sunlight.
The beginning of our wood trail is good visible here
The back of our home with the crocheted curtains hanging in our veranda.
It felt so warm that our felines were looking for some shade...
Speckie-girl to the left and Barty-boy and Spooky-boy next to the Italian cypress.
Tiggy-tiger claimed her spot under the palm tree...

Hope you too are enjoying some spring weather or end of summer for those living in the Southern Hemisphere!

Thank you for visiting on this perfect Valentine's Day.

  3. Gorgeous Mariette - what better way to lift the spirits - sunshine, blue skies and blossom. Our weather report for today was a warm front and sunshine, but disappointingly it has started off very misty - just hope the sun is shinning when the mist departs.

  7. It's been so warm indeed. Your garden looks fantastic with gorgeous blooms! I love the view of pretty pansies in your window box. If kitties are in shades, it must be really warm :-)
    I'm sorry you had to give up your Toyota RAV4 after all those years. I don't like dealing with insurance companies. I hope all the stress will go away. xo
