In The Garden
It's my favorite time in Spring when "Josephine" Clemantis is in bloom. With each passing day another layer of beauty unfolds within each flower. Eventually, right before she leaves, those center clusters will open like the last chorus of a beautiful hymn.
The spring quilts have made their way out of storage and are gracing walls and backs of chairs. The colors are so soothing and reflect the garden so well.
The Virburnum is a good eight feet tall by my back door. Oh how I love this time of year!
Sweet joy,

ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the pattern in your Spring Quilt. Beautiful and so perfect for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThis year Spring came so early here (S.E. MN) and we are all loving it! Right now the Lily of the Valley are sending their wonderful scent in to my kitchen. Definitely signals "new beginnings" for another summer season. I love to change out the quilts around the house for this time of year. Windows open, fresh, clean air, laundry on the lines----loving it!! Blessings, Doreen

Spring, glorious, spring! Your clematis is gorgeous! It will be a few weeks before my clematis breaks forth in flower. I guess I'll just gaze on yours until then....
ReplyDeleteAny time of year when flowers are blooming is my favorite! I imagine them singing praises!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers and gorgeous quilt! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Bluebell bought a Josephine clematis for me 3 yrs,. ago . It has lots of buds ready to burst . Near to it a have a David Austin Rose called Napolian .
ReplyDeleteI saw the "Josephine" clematis on another blog this morning and I am amazed at it's beauty. I am definitely going to look for this one! Your quilt is beautiful and looks so "summery". And the viburnum is spectacular. I just love spring, my most favorite time of year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The flowering bushes, and the quilt! I've always loved clematis too. My Mom has a deep purple one. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI too love this time of year but our Clematis is not yet blooming. Oh your quilt is beautiful-I'd love to know the pattern. So light and spring like.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking your last flower is a snowball plant? We are still having some frost and cool temps here in Colorado and don't plant much until the very end of the month.
Thanks for sharing.
