THINGS ARE BUSTING OUT ALL OVER!

Back when I "had" to attend musical theater....long story.....there was this song sung...Things are busting out all over" like love and spring, etc. Well, as I have been out and about there are some yards that are really beautiful and Seattle has a lot of trees of all kinds.

Some flowering trees on a lawn about 3 blocks from my apartment.

It is so wonderful to have spring. Yesterday I went out and bought a deck chair for my deck. I could sit out there and read or whatever. There is rain, of course, but we have been having lots of nice sunshine here too...and my apartment has gotten too warm already so the heat is totally turned down and last night I had to open my deck door and bedroom window.

Flowering trees right outside my back door.

Anyway, I have made a commitment with myself to take my camera with me every time I leave the house. Sometimes you just don't know what you will see here in the city. I am planning a future blog about all the different fences in my area of town. Some are really pretty and really interesting.

A long row of trees and flowering bushes near the post office building in West Seattle.

This picture and the one above it are on lawns a few blocks from my apartment.

This is a tree that has been wound around the top of a wire fence. It is all gnarled and even flowers. I've never seen anything like it before.

There are blooms in my house too. My African violets are really blooming but the most important blooms are in a vase which I found right outside my door last week when I wasn't feeling very good. The card read "From Your One and Only". Now I wonder who that might be????



This and the one above are of some flowers I bought for myself one day a few months back. The roses almost look like Gardenias, my favorite flower.

This is the vase of flowers I got from my "One and Only" last week. I love it when he sends me flowers!!!

I hope that things are blooming where you are too. It is awesome to see the changes that Mother Earth gives us. I think there are a lot of people who don't ever see the beauty in nature. I hope you aren't one of them, Dear Friends
