Our Eyes Open

Quote – Spring – Week #16

Tiger Lillies in our garden a few years ago. Frank uses a lot of driftwood and stone in our flower beds.

The earth laughs in flowers.

    Those are so pretty!

    Will you have to stay close to home and avoid some beaches and places for Spring Break b/c people will be flocking to your area beaches?

      I won’t go near Jax beaches! We will can go to the Wildlife Refuges and a few other places to avoid the teeny boppers. We could go to our favorite beach which is a state park, alcohol prohibited and no structures. They don’t congregate there. LOL! 🙂

        I’m glad you do have places you can go and avoid the partiers. 😀

        Absolutely! It’s just sad that this could have been done so much better where we could see the light. I’m not sure we’ve even got to the tunnel yet much less seen the light at the end of it. 😂

      Thanks Cee. Me too! I wished we had those lilies now. Frank has enough to deal with our large yard that I don’t ask him to add anything that he doesn’t want to. I can’t garden because of my allergies. Spring is a rough time for me. My white car is yellow with so much pollen right now. 🙂

        Good for you! I’m actually looking forward to the week of our anniversary for my break. I’m working on now and scheduling blogs for April 1-4 because I’m not sure what we are doing. No bird weekly that week so whatever gets done, it has to be ahead of time. We have Becky’s squares and the A-Z challenge which is new this year for me. I mapped it out for the whole month this morning. You’re rubbing off on me, ms. organized! 🙂

        LOL! I found at least 10-15 pictures to use for Becky B’s Squares, made them square and put a frame around them. I haven’t scheduled them yet. I’m still going through my files and refining them as I do a post, but I’m almost through my camera roll, which is the biggest file. I think you are wearing off on me! 🙂
