Spring is so close!

February 28, 2011 by Laura

Spring is slowly inching her way here and it is making me so anxious as well as driving me nuts! When everything starts blooming, my allergies go insane. I’m popping Allegra and Sudafed like they’re going out of style. It is so worth it though when everything is in full bloom and our yard will look like this again!

Yes, that is Conner taking a celebratory drink the night we closed on our house. We keep it classy around here. 🙂

Lately I’ve decided that I’m over my old favorite flower – the gerber daisy. It was my favorite for so long but I think I’m ready to grow up and make a change. I am anxious to plant these new favorites in our yard. It is our first time to see it in spring and I’m so ready to see what blooms!

Hydrangeas – so gorgeous and so full! I love them alone and in a bouquet with other flowers. I would really like to see these in different colors, bordering one of the garden beds.

Tulips! I love their shape and that they come in any color. Pink and orange flowers will always be my favorite and tulips look great in both. It is making me so giddy because we have these starting to bloom at our house! It feels like Christmas all over again…I’m just waiting for the day when the blooms pop out.

And finally, the peony. (some people say ‘pee-O-nee’ and some say ‘pee-AH-nee’…is there a wrong or right?) Open and closed, they look great. This pink bush so beautiful. I can’t wait to grow my own this year!

Here’s hoping for a spring full of rain and a summer full of sunshine under 100 degrees so these beauties can grow, grow, grow!
