Green Garden Diary

 

The first flowers to bloom every year.

I looked at my vintage glass flower beads last week. And I ordered new ones. I can't resist beautiful vintage beads! Time to add some color to the shop for Spring. Stay tuned.

Here Comes Spring

The first of our daffodils are beginning to bloom. Spring is just around the corner now!

March Comes In Like A Lion

I'm sitting here drinking a mug of Red Miso, warming my bones from this chilly March morn. Occasional snowflakes slowly fall from a grey sky. Rumour has it that we're going to get snow tonight, so I headed outside and picked a bouquet of mini daffodils.

I listed the necklace that I made with the beet dyed beads that I posted about yesterday. It can be found here. I would like to dye some of the beads blue and have been reading up on it. I don't really want to buy indigo, but I may if I can't find another alternative; preferably something that I already have on hand.

Well, I hope we wake up to a bit of snow in the south land.
Enjoy your weekend.
Until next time.....

Rain Day

It's a beautiful rainy morning here in Tennessee. After spending two days pruning trees and hauling brush, it's just the break I need.
Spring is officially here. The mockingbird is sitting atop the Foster Holly outside my window, singing her sweet song. They sing so quietly this time of year, after not singing all winter.
Our daffodils are beginning to bloom. I love being able to bring the sunshine indoors.
Althea is tucked away on the futon. She looks so comfy. I'd love to join her. But I really should head into the studio and get some work done. I have numerous pieces in the making and finished jewels that need to be photographed.
I think I'll have a cup of espresso first though and sit here listening to the sounds of spring.
Until next time.....

Daffodils and Ditches

During our Sunday walk, which was cold, windy and gray, we noticed that patches of daffodils were in bloom. These are the heirloom varieties. The early bloomers. Varieties from years past that can be found along roadsides and around abandoned farms. They're always a welcome sight to see.
Until next time.....
