I was just pre-ordering hellebores online (including a stunning black one) for my garden - seeing your gorgeous photos helps me maintain the motivation to turn our square of dirt (literally all there is right now) into a thing of beauty!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-57230545832826334862010-02-25T07:15:43.016-08:002010-02-25T07:15:43.016-08:00Thanks all, lovely to see that long-time readers a...Thanks all, lovely to see that long-time readers aren't bored by my spring shots and that new readers claim to enjoy them as well.<br />Alison: my first spring in over 23 years without dog poop in the garden! I still miss my girl regularly, but I don't miss her poop!<br />Tish: I'll cross my fingers for you that buds will start popping out soon -- I've cheated a bit and built a garden with quite a bit of winter activity -- my Viburnum bodnatense has been blooming its fragrant pink blooms since late November! Oddly, though, I still don't have any forsythia -- perhaps I'll remedy that this year . . .<br />and now I'll pop over to your place and see what's up . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-72150562223082880342010-02-25T06:50:58.394-08:002010-02-25T06:50:58.394-08:00This is my first year to see your spring.

There is nothing, seriously nothing more delightful than a new shoot at this time of year, so keep the photographs coming. <br />My brief foray across my quagmire of a garden last week was far too depressingly full of dog poo despite my best efforts to walk him in all weathers!<br />Was that blue sky I saw, it is STILL raining here..indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-8577875066118844882010-02-24T21:01:19.034-08:002010-02-24T21:01:19.034-08:00Spring at your blog is always gorgeous.
