Michigan is experiencing unseasonably warm weather this Spring. Typically in March we still have piles and mounds of dirty snow slowly melting. There is usually frost and snow flurries still flying. I’m actually afraid to talk about SNOW out loud for fear that we might actually get dumped on with a snowmageden 2012, then reversing spring and spiralling back to hibernation for the next month. Let’s hope the 60-80 degree weather is enough to keep us warm through April, thus avoiding any frost or flurries.
I love spring. I love to see mother nature at work, awakening all that hibernates during winter. Spring makes everything feel fresh and new. Thanks to Kathryn McCullough and her inspiring post, A March Garden: Images of Almost-Spring, filled with bright and beautiful pictures of her yard, I have decided to share my photos of my very early blooming yard.
Thank you for taking a stroll through my yard. I hope you all can find some beauty in your yard this spring.
Beautiful! It’s strange to think that we are having frost here on the Central Coast of Cali, and you guys are not! It’s been too unpredictable for me to plant any flowers yet for fear they will just freeze away-strange, strange weather, huh?
Very strange weather! I think this coming week will be cooler, but most days are still in the 60s. Typically we can’t plant here until mid May I’m hoping I can plant earlier this year.
Oh, thanks so much for the shout out! Your spring garden is beautiful. I especially love the globe. Amazing to think that the daffodils are already blooming in Michigan. Crazy weather, isn’t it?
Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
Hugs,
Kathy
Well your photos inspired me Kathryn, so it’s only natural to give credit to you 😉 I can’t wait to post pics of my summer gardens, I love planting, not weeding so much, but planting is a wonderful feeling. Thanks for the shout back.
I don’t know what it is about those daffodils, but they transport me to a place of pure happiness. Aaaah.
Lol I know. Today Michigan is back to what the weather should be for this time of year. Ugg I hope warmer days come again soon!
Spring has finally arrived in Shanghai. I just wish we had a real garden to sit in.
Spring has temporarily turned cold in Michigan again, but I think we are supposed to warm up by Sunday again. I hope. Do you have a backyard in Shanghai or a patio that you can transform into a garden?
Where did Nick find the fire truck planter, or who is the manufacturer? I want one!
Meijer shopping center. This is a very cool piece!
Bought the only one they had, but no markings or tag as to who makes it…other Meier store had none. Any idea who made it?
No mine only had a tag that said distributed by Meijer. Glad you were able to fine one!
Thanks. I found mine in Cincinnati.
