Spring beauties!


One of the pains charms of living in the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana tri-state area is the changing seasons. When spring arrives, we hope for a few warm days here and there. We get a few. Very few. This spring has been very cold and very rainy. Puddles-in-the-yard rainy. Of course, once July gets here, there won't be a drop of rain in sight. (I'm quoting Gus.)

We've even had a few frost warnings, so I was worried about all of our plants. But I think we've weathered (Ha! I crack myself up!!) the worst of it. Here's what we're seeing now:

This little guy lives under our front porch:

This is a Purple Smoke Wild Indigo plant that we got last year. It has at least tripled in size, and looks like a shrub. So pretty!


The coral bells are ready to bloom:

The hostas (that came from my grandparents) are HUGE!!

The spiderwort (also from my grandparents) just keeps spreading and spreading - love it!

This is an old-fashioned rose that was growing at our old house when we first moved in - 24 years ago. My grandfather dug it up and took it to his house. After he died, I brought part of it here and my mom took part of it to her house.

Last week, this little guy was sitting on my bedroom window sill...

Then the other day, he was sitting on the table on the front porch - at least I'm pretty sure it's the same little guy.

Riley loves to lay in the yard - at the top of the hill - and keep his eye on everything.

Are you seeing signs of spring, too?
