It's Green Thumb Sunday, hosted by Tricia at As the Garden Grows. If you'd like to participate, just click on the link to find out how.
This week I have blooms in my garden for Green Thumb Sunday. A few more of my tulips have bloomed.
I love this peach one. It looks so pretty with its pastel shade. It is in the front of the house along with some purple tulips, but they are still in bud. This one gets a bit more sun and so it blooms earlier.
The red one has a beautiful black center with a touch of yellow to brighten it. It is another favorite of mine.
The English violets above are blooming near the shed in the back of the house. They have spread over the years. I was so afraid they would have been damaged by the contractor who destroyed many of my other flowers and I was delighted when they poked up through the ground.
So I took these and transplanted them into the side flower bed. Hopefully by having them in a variety of places I will be able to keep some of these. They were given to me by my MIL and they are very difficult to find in garden centers. They are one of my favorite flowers.
I've had a few surprises in my email lately. A couple of days ago I received an email from Hootin' Anni. She told me she had been dabbling and had come up with a new look for my blog, if I liked it. Like it? Anni, I love it. I was delighted and I think my readers will agree that it is beautiful. Anni, thank you so much. In honor of your kind and generous heart and our friendship, I would like to present you with the button below. I absolutely love the new look. 
Last week, Denise at Shorty Bear's Place send me some graphics in an email. Thank you, Denise. They are all beautiful. How did you know that I love birds and birdhouses? This is a very pretty personalized graphic and I thank you for thinking of me. 
Not much else going on around here. It is the Victoria Day weekend but we don't really do anything special. We stick around the house, relax and enjoy the peace and solitude.
Have a beautiful weekend, Everyone and be sure to take the time to enjoy the simple things in life. ~Blessings, Mary~
