happy easter 2021!

April 2, 2021

forced branches

It is such a great time of year…the promise of living so much life outdoors!

With all the outdoor living comes the gardening.  Here in Connecticut, Mother’s Day is usually my official planting time but pansies can stand the cooler weather so I’ve already put a few in the ground.

In their typical fashion, the rabbits have already eaten all the flowers off of them!  The only pansy flowers remaining right now are the ones planted in the basket hanging on the front of the house!  So starts my love/hate relationship with the neighborhood pests!  The bees will be next followed by a close second to the chipmunks!

forsythia branches

I’ve been forcing branches in the house for the last couple of months, but now some of the trees have started blooming outdoors as well.  So, of course, more come into the house!

The more twisted the branch, the better!  A single branch with an unusual shape can make such a dramatic display!

I hope you are enjoying this time of year as much as I am!

I want to wish you a blessed Easter filled with love.

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember to take pleasure in simple things…like everything blooming around you!
