Spring in Atlanta

As beautiful as this is, I am so suffering from allergies this spring. Just took a Zyrtec, let's hope I survive spring.

Wishing and Hoping

Perhaps with all the rain we are having today and the next 4 days... we will soon see the blossoms on the trees. Cannot wait!

Feeling Spent

Feeling rather lethargic today. Two cups of coffee is just not doing it for me. Wondering if I have Spring fever? Is there a cure? How do I jump start my day?

Spring and Other Nonsense

I am enjoying the onset of Spring so much!  Springs in Atlanta are always fantastic, but this year Spring is just fetching.  Yes, fetching!  It is not uncommon for a hard freeze to hit and kill the blooming trees, but by the Grace of God, we have not suffered the cold, freezing nights.  As winter wanes and spring blossoms, I love to watch the changing patterns of the sun.  Sun rise and sun sets move in a westernly pattern across the skies.  Strangely, I long for the long shadows of fall.  I cannot explain how those long shadows just captivate me.  That’s it.  I just wanted to share my love of the many, many blossoming trees here in Atlanta and the fact that I have to squint to keep the sun out of my eyes as I write my blog for tomorrow. Psstt…tomorrow, I have a date with my favorite celebrity chef, Tyler Florence.  Yes, he is coming to Atlanta and he’s all mine!  You better believe that there will be photos…lots of photos!! ...

Happy Easter

Signs of Spring Near Atlanta

After the rains yesterday, I was afraid all of the blossoms would fall to the ground and I would have been a day late and a dollar short again .  However, I was very pleased that the rain did not take the flowers from the Bradford Pear trees.  We live another day to enjoy God’s beauty abound. The Bradford's are always the first to strut their stuff.  Sassy little trees they are! Then…presto…the cherry trees begin to sachet their color.  On the property of my old house, I planted two cherry trees in glorious pink.  One was stuck by lightening (happens to us in every house we live in) but the other, I am sure, is thriving and revealing its beauty.    Yes, the sky was actually this brilliant blue today.  The air is so clear and clean that I wish I could bottle it up and sent it to Asthma Girl when the air in the North West gets funky. This last photo reminded me of Mental Pause Momma today.  I wished she would find contentm...

One little photo of a budding rose bush outside my window. Later, if it stops raining, I will photograph the breathtaking Bradford Pear trees on the block near by.
