Spring Is In The Air...

Time has gotten away from me, and I just realized that I never shared my... 

Spring and Summer Bucket List
These flowers are from scattered gardens around the yard.

We have already crossed eight things off the list...crossing things off is so satisfying.

Here is a peek at the Bucket List Calendar, April has been "busy" and colorful.


These 2 Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees belong to the couple that live next door to us.

They are always beautiful this time of year, ne
xt are the tulips the hubs planted last fall.
He planted a total of 300 bulbs in the front yard around the mailbox, the birdhouse
and in the front center garden.


The deer found and enjoyed all of the flowers in the center garden and around the birdhouse.
The hubs sprayed a deer deterrent around the tulips by the mailbox which saved them.
I love the colors he choose this year...he always picks the color and orders them from the same company.
The colors, peach, yellow and white look perfect together



We pass this breathtaking path of trees while out on our adventures.
They are also Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees.




Items I purchased in the Longwood Gardens Gift shop.
Stationary, a suncatcher, paperclips for my junk journal, angel chime, seeds for the flower garden...
and 2 beautiful yellow flower desert plates...I do not need them but I had to have them.


The hubs washed all of the windows...


he cleaned and filled the bird feeders.


Another really nice day!
