Last week I was out & about and here are a few of the pics.
In my own yard….
Brussel sprouts! I was shocked to see this is growing from the last year. It was the first time I grew it so that was one of my experiments.
Leftover garlic.
And leeks. And acorns, of course!
This beautiful tree blooms for a very short time every Spring. Such a pretty addition to the landscape. I wish it lasted longer!
Hydrangeas are budding.
Tulips & Hyacinths…..no garden is complete without them.
Nor these, unfortunately.
I love this place. It’s a house on a corner so it’s easy to see the pond from the side street. It was quiet on this day. Usually it’s brimming with geese and ducks.
Only one lonely duck on this day.
Then just down the road, this beautiful pair.
I hadn’t been to this pond in quite some time and was delighted to see this beautiful swan.
Her partner was across the pond when I started feeding her but not for long.
What beautiful creatures!
We’ve had a very wet spring in the northeast and it hasn’t been very much fun.
But there is a bright side.
Flowering trees have all exploded at the same time. I’m happy to enjoy the beautiful sight even if just for a short time.
So that’s what’s been going on in my area over the last week. I hope you are enjoying the bounty of Mother Earth’s wand too! I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts on Tootsie’s Fertilizer Friday.

Such peaceful pictures - thanks for lifting my heart today! Paula from Idaho
Lots of beautiful and interesting things in your neighborhood. The tree with the white blossoms might be a service berry tree, check with your county extension agent or a landscape center. I see you posted one of my beauties, the dandelion, I have scheduled another post about it on Sunday the 18th, hope you will have a chance to check it out.
What beauties you have in your garden, and around you! I recently ate at a restaurant near our camp, it is a little shack down on the river. They serve catfish, and they bring you out those little pearly onions (I don't know what they are really called) as an appetizer. My goodness they were good! So light and fresh, not strong at all!
don't you love the feeling when an experiment plant comes back? good for you!!! your garden is just gorgeous this time of year...It is such a sight to see the trees all starting to bud up around here..I can hardly wait for the first time we can see the green from far away...when the leaves open up!
thanks for the great post!
I just love you pictures and you have a wonderful blog here.
Thanks so much for joining mine.
