It was a perfect afternoon and, on arriving home from a dental appointment................
.............I grabbed a pair of old shorts and a ball cap (faded hair color days are here!). I sat on my front steps, stretched out my pale legs and thought I should start using some lotion like this as I no longer sunbathe! Breathing in fresh green air, admiring the clematis blooms, and listening to the music of the water dancing in the fountain, with the sun warm and kind on the perfect Spring day.

Mary,

Your words, also, bring joy and beauty to many. A beautiful spirit thrives and spreads that beauty to all around it.
ReplyDeleteI love your clematis.
Wonderful post, gorgeous pics! Enjoy the day...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Mary. I so agree there's nothing better than nature and the warm sunshine!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Mary, what a beautiful front porch you have.... so lovely I wish I could go by and sit there with you, and maybe sip some lemonade...
ReplyDeleteI tried emailing you, but my emals were returned. Just wanted to let you know I got your beautiful photograph and I have already downloaded it. This is going to be such a fun event, I'm already getting pictures from places as far as Turkey and China... Thank you for advertising my party in your lovely blog.
Would you please let us see more of your lovely porch and garden? Looking forward to see more pics...
Have a great day,
Cielo
Beautiful Clematis! Your front garden looks amazing :-) Have a wonderful weekend! ((hugs)) Rosie
ReplyDeleteOh how very lovely! I wish my clematis looked like that, but...we have frost!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clematis - I always have trouble with mine! Sounds like a lovely day!

Ahh...soaking in spring...sounds heavenly. Your clematis is gorgeous. Mine is growing, but far from blooming!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading a book that made me think of you called My Devon Year by Eden Phillpotts. Do you know it? It's one of my finds from the used book store I posted about a while back. Beautiful descriptions of nature through the seasons in Devon. Half the time I didn't know what he was talking about (as far as the names of the plants) but he described them so wonderfully I just kept on reading!
If you go to www.google.com/books and then type in the title, you can read it on line.
Hello Mary:
ReplyDeleteYour front porch as always looks so inviting. Your flowers are beautiful.
Heidi and I are doing some stitching now. I finished my project for her. (Heidi at the door). I don't know what she will do with it now that she has it.
Jos is planning to paint their gate this weekend if the weather stays nice. The sun is shining now. Have a fun weekend.

There is NOTHING in bloom here, and the grass is just beginning to green up (too dry).
