it's sunny in San Francisco
I bet most of us need a little
sunshine on our shoulders today
it's just too damn cold and snowy
I'm already longing for spring
this is what Sundays look like in my backyard
in June and July
the seed catalogues are starting to arrive
I can feel the sun on my shoulders
and the dirt in my hands
the days are getting longer
Soooo Pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes. The chickens go to be a few minutes later each day. A concrete and powerful reminder that despite the cold and the short days, the warmth and long days will be coming back soon.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is beautiful, dear. Just beautiful. It is waiting to be beautiful again.
Oh boy I really needed a dose of sunshine and flowers! beautiful photos.Thank you for posting those:)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!!!
Your backyard is amazing....I love the snow but long to feel the sun. Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeletethe days are getting longer indeed - I observed the day reverently that the earth tilted in our favor.
ReplyDeleteSpring - where are you?
Oh. My. Your backyard is a dream. It's GORGEOUS. Spectacular pics!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I love, love, love your summer. What pretty skies. And the flowers are full of lovely color! LOVE it! Man I miss it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful! I envy your garden!
ReplyDeleteSwing by my place Monday- I've got a little something for you!
Wow, I really needed to see sunshine and pretty posies! We left before sunrise for a volleyball tourney, watching the outdoor temp dip to 15 below, and sat in a cold, drafty warehouse full of volleyball nets for 8 hours, my feet feel like ice chunks, so thank you, thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe second photo down......white and purpleish, what are those? Those were growing in the back yard of our new house when we moved in but there were TONS of bees in them....and with the kids I was afraid of one of them getting stung so had Kevin use the weedeater to chop them all down. They are BEAUTIFUL........but, I just didn't want to worry about the kids getting stung.
ReplyDeleteI want to dig up that area (it's about 10feet by 3 feet) and plant a vegetable garden.......I can't wait to get out there and plant some sugar snap peas, green beans, and grape tomatoes!!!
Such glorious flowers, Michelle. The colours are so bright and vibrant. I have a small courtyard off my apartment and so there is not much dirt to grow as much as you have here. You seem to have such beautiful nooks and crannies. And not much snow like the other places in North American seem to have at the moment. Here in Australia we do not get much snow at all.
ReplyDeleteThank you and take care.
Oh, I needed some sunshine and flowers today... thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, I needed that! Your yard is gorgeous and makes me want to start planning changes in mine! The colors are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Sunday.

I feel warmer already.
ReplyDeleteYour backyard is divine!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures were exactly what I was needing. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteyou have an open invite here, where the sun alway shines!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I miss the cold and changing seasons...BUT....this weekend the kids went to lake Arrowhead to play in the SNOW for the first time, and packing four kids for COLD weather is a pain in the ass!!! Throwing a towel some sunblock and flip flops in a straw bag is WAAAAYYYYYYY easier!!!
Oh baby, your sparkin' my OCFD (obsessive compulsive flower disorder) and it's too darn cold here on the Ozarks Ponderosa to even think of my acre of gardens. It was -10 here Sunday morn'. We loaded cattle out this morning at twelve degrees! Burrrrr.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are just breathtakingly beautiful! I'm so glad I popped over to enjoy them. Ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day!!!
I DID need this, you lovely woman, you. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThese pics made me smile. I needed that. Thanks.
