After yesterday's rather chilly photo and poem, I decided I needed some color to warm me up. What better place to look for color than last summer's yard and garden?
Basket, basil, and vegetables. I wove this grapevine basket to share as part of a blog giveaway last summer--it ended up in California with Heidi at My Simple Country Living.
One of the of my many mystery roses. I'm looking forward to seeing how my mystery roses do over the winter and to many more blooms this coming summer.
We got the hammock up a bit late last summer. This year it is going up as soon as the weather warms up and I'm going to put my feet up and read among the butterflies and chickadees every chance I get!
I didn't see many Monarchs last summer, and most of the ones that I did see didn't stick around for photos. However this Monarch stayed still for several minutes allowing me to get several photos. We encourage milkweed on our property for the Monarchs.
And what could say warmth and color better than a Baby Bear pumpkin? I'm still thrilled that was able to outwit the Squash vine borers last summer and harvest fully ripe pumpkins and squash for the first time since I have lived in Michigan.
Love these pictures. Makes me want to go out and scrape away the snow and plant a seed. You will probably get the rest of our snow in a day or two
