jazz.. love your photo. Backlit images are among my favorites. I'm a bit of a Photoshop junky and wanted to save your image for my screensaver after I cropped it. Here is my interpretation - thank you - thank you-thank you for getting your camera out and taking that photo.

Magic light, thank you for this revised image! Looks even better without the background stuff!

I attended a watercolor demo painting a white flower. You can see from the 2nd photo that there isn't actually a lot of white. Against a dark background, the flower looked bright white.

My third purchase for spring planting. Found these good size roses at Sam's Club today and bought 3 of them. I haven't seen this color before.

That is a pretty color - and fragrant, too. How could you go wrong?

Scottie- thank for the tip on Sam's Club. I am due for a trip there and think they may have some things here in early March in the gardening center.
The roses are a beautiful color and wish you the best with them!

KB870... Raining here today and think the storm is heading your way. I just bought several tulip bulbs with about 5 inches of growth so hope they like the rain showers and bloom in a couple of weeks. The sun is returning, so that should help.

Magic ..I'm sure they will be very happy little tulip bulbs with the rain and the sun ☺

Teka - wondering about what your Hubby uses in his potato leek soup. I don' t think of potato leek soup as Itallian - French or possible Swiss or German. I learned to make it the way I do from our maid when we lived in France when I was a child so - to me, it's French. Also, the way I cook sauerkraut was learned from her and is French - rather different than most think of sauerkraut tasteing/being..
Last Fall, I was give 100's of different Iris. Planted as many as I had room for but gave the vast majority away. When I was out walking Buggsy (my Mini Rex Bunny) earlier today, there were some of the Iris trying to come up. Nothing else is trying to come up yet that I could see - not even any of the hollyhocks trying yet. About a week ago I did see the first small flock (probably betwween 25 - 40) of Canadian honkers heading north.
Buggsy started shedding earlier than he usually does this year. He lives inside in his 'house' so unless we go for a walk ( yes he does walk on a leash) he lives in a fairly constant environment - summer or winter.
🐰Spring is coming! 🐇

Kicks...if Spring is coming for SD then there is hope for most of the lower 48. Now that you mentioned Geese heading north, I've noticed that there are fewer of them feeding in ponds and on golf courses near my home.

Feb and Mar ars our snowiest months but Feb didn't give us much- basically there is no snow on the ground so not good. Considering we are already considered to be in a 'Moderate Drought' - not good for hay and pasture plus the potential for fires this summer. We've already had some grassland fires but fires in the Hills (if they happen later) are a lot worse in drought conditions continue/worsen.

Nasty storms here tonight after 70s today. Found this picture from last year to remind me that spring is almost here.

Beautiful Scottie! We've had a very mild winter here in Southern Indiana and I'm itching to start my 2017 garden. I'm enjoying all of the early Spring blooming here in Bloomfield and hoping no more subfreezing temps from here on but not holding my breath

Hi Ladies ..Summer here has been too long , and drier than normal ..But we should be careful what we wish for ..Now big rain has set in , and meant to continue for days !!! I've gone from frantically trying to water to keep everything going , to worrying it'll end up washed away. !!!!!

Lucy, oh my goodness! That is not good at all! I've got all my tomato and pepper seeds in their little pots to get a good start on their growth. Hopefully they'll be ready to go in the ground when the ground is ready.
Not much snow here in Indiana but the temps are really cold!

The weather is crazy down here. We're about to have a hard feeze. Everything is blooming, I have 100 bales of pine straw in my driveway and I have a magnolia tree and two very large holly bushes from a plant nursery in my garage to keep them safe for the next two nights.
And yet, it's going to be 74 on Monday when I go in for my surgery. Hoping Dh can get the trees and bushes planted over the weekend, although we have a laundry list of things to do because I'll be out of commission for a good while. Totally derailed my spring planting frenzy and I still haven't received all the plants I ordered through Groupon.

Scottie, I was not following the March surgery discussion so missed that you are joining that group with your upcoming surgery - is it for your shoulder? I'm amazed at all the gardening and photography and caring duties you get done with your limited range of motion. Strong women sure get things done. Good luck with a successful surgical outcome. ((hugs))

Thanks magiclight. . .I developed capsular contracture which explains my limited ROM and continued nerve pain so surgery is repair and replace. PS is confident that I will slowly get my full ROM back and will be able to lift weights again.
Meanwhile, Dh is my muscles and I'm the brains. He's pretty much been the muscle since BMx anyway.

Scottie, wow was I mistaken in my understanding of capsular contracture. Now that I've done a bit of homework on Google I get the picture, so to speak. I think my SIL has this and has had it for many years since her reconstructions. Hardly a day goes by that I don't learn something new that replaces an earlier understanding.

Went on a business trip for a few days, left Sunday and back home last night. Few blooms on this weeping cherry when I left and then came home to this last night!

Jazz ..Wow !! That is beautiful. !!

Scottie, best wishes for a full recovery of your ROM. You can do it! 💜
Majiclight, I think we've all been there. I learn something new here everyday and even discover new things about myself.
Jazz, what a gorgeous tree! Absolutely beautiful! Our peach tree looks like it may have survived the last freeze. At least I hope so

Good morning- the weeping cherry is in full bloom and the rosemary bushes are covered with purple flowers. Enjoy!

Oh I am sooooo jealous! Absolutely beautiful

Jazz...I can hear the bees buzzing. I have about a dozen gigantic rosemary bushes trailing over a wall and the bees are in abundance.

Beautiful!

Magiclight- I was out a bit too late yesterday and needed to prune one back a bit (did not finish it last fall) and they were totally covered with bees. I finished the pruning early this morning before it warmed up and the bees came out.
I have a lot of things in my yard the bees do love. It makes me happy to see them thriving here. We know they are in trouble.
