Thank Goodness for Spring

This morning it is once again overcast and promises once again to be a rainy weekend, and I'm covered up in paperwork that I'm putting off. (is anyone getting sick and tired of reading about that???) Steve was working outside early today and I finally went outside to see what he'd been up to. Since I'm on the fritz with the stenosis thing again and can't really work in my flower beds right now with all of the bending, lifting,k squatting, etc. I just hadn't been out much. Wow....I had forgotten how the work from years past has been paying off. It's just too bad that dogwoods and azaleas don't stay in bloom all summer long. They are worth a million dollars. I took a few photos and just had to post them because it really our yard at it's best even though the grass doesn't look so good yet.
This is our dogwood that is a combo pink and white that they spun together years ago and it looks like one tree now. We used to have two of them, but one died last year from the heat.




This one is my favorite azalea...looks like a lily.



My view as I'm leaving the house each morning.




Found a new setting on my camera for closeups of flowers...I think this is a good one!












My FAVORITE flower on the planet...daisies.
