The bodacious Valentine's Day roses have become dried flowers - still beautiful as they fade - cannot toss them away so they will languish in a precious tiny English cut glass vase given to me years ago by my Mother.
Meanwhile, Spring seems to have arrived with several warm, sunny days. My pair of Carolina wrens are busy building a nest in the kitchen window box for the fourth year running. It's tucked under a clump of purple pansies and a small conifer - I hope to get a new family to watch as I wash dishes!



Very cute vignette! Good luck on your blog! cherry
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog! Love the beautiful English Vase! It's nice to see another 'blogger' who lives here in North Carolina. Yes...pieces of Spring are attempting to show around our home. While some colder temperatures are creeping their way back in these next few days, I'm ready for my flowers, plants & gardening when the warmer days decides to stay.

How wonderful that you have wren's nesting where you can see them! Last year we had a pair of doves nesting above one of our arbours and on the other side of the house, a Robin. The doves were back in the garden the other day, so I hope, like your wren's , they have returned to their nesting spot.
