#ThePromiseOfSpring

I was raking leaves #todayinthebackyard & was surprised to see the #daffodils have sprouted! Wonder what that means?!

Other normal promises that Spring will be here in a few months:buds on the #rhododendron, #camellia, & #treepeony.

I’m still trying to figure out how I didn’t notice all the #fallcolor last year! Maybe the trauma of moving? 🤪

This is #CrapeMyrtle 'Sioux', down at the bottom one of the #EncoreAzaleas

#HoneysuckleBerries. I don't know why I was so surprised to see berries on the honeysuckle - fruit IS the whole point of the flower!!! But I don't remember ever seeing berries on honeysuckle at the old house

Until I moved to this house last October, I didn't know there was such a thing as a #TreePeony, but I have one and it is BEAUTIFUL. It almost glows from the inside out!!
