They are so pretty, I hope they come back next year.<br /><br />I love having the kitties watch over me as I garden. So much better than my naughty pups that try to pull up the flowers when my back is turned! <br /><br />Hope you had a lovely Easter with your family.

I bought 8 bags of mulch this week to spread, and for some reason decided it had to all be done in one day (oh my aching back)! Silly me. I still need about 10 more bags, but think I am just going to get about 3-4 at a time so I will be forced to "spread" it out (sorry for the terrible pun--I get silly after midnight!Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-26202381351187741692010-04-01T22:46:43.318-07:002010-04-01T22:46:43.318-07:00Thank you IGW.

Sometimes it seems as though Blogger has little hiccups and starts doing strange things.<br /><br />I just love cats! They all have such different personalities. I am happiest when I am surrounded by all my cats and dogs and out in the garden. <br /><br />My sister was quite a bit older than me, and a very talented seamstress. She made all my clothes for many years, and always a dress and coat for Easter. Where I grew up it was always chilly at Easter, but it was our cue to put away winter coats and bring out our "Spring Coat". <br /><br />Hope you have a lovely warm Easter.Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-78930804830588690742010-04-01T22:31:43.784-07:002010-04-01T22:31:43.784-07:00Hi Laura, I am so glad you stopped by for a visit....Hi Laura, I am so glad you stopped by for a visit. <br /><br />I just started planting bulbs a couple of years ago.

Much appreciated after a long winter.

Lovely days. Mother always made me an Easter dress....lots of lacy petticoats and a lilac dress to finish. Of course, white gloves to. <br /><br />I love your cats.

They will often grow in groupings, and I like to think they are dancing together. They are shedding their leaves now, so we have an interesting mix of Spring and Fall with the leaves falling so thick as the new leaves push out. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

He is a scrappy little guy, though, and the star at the emergency clinic we took him to. Everyone was celebrating a happy ending. <br /><br />The Daff that looks pink is really more of a peach.

I wouldn't put it past the Daffy Sisters to slip some "magic" growth pills to Miss Forsythia! I was ready to give her the boot with my shovel!<br /><br />One year when we went north on vacation in the Fall, as we left it was summer-like here. The further north we went we could watch the leaves start to change, and as we got to northern Illinois it was colored so brilliantly. It's kind of like that in reverse. The further south you are Spring is awash in color, and where you are, it is still trying to shake off the slumbers of winter.
