My world is vivid

Spring is hopping along. Huge Rhodendrens of deep pink and purple and even red, are everywhere in my town. My own corner, my property, is starting to get in on the action. I think it was a pinky dogwood that is just done blooming. Both apple trees were gorgeous-ask the bees about that. The strawberry bed is alive with white blooms. The raspberries are doing their best to take over the strawberry bed. It looks like the perennial geraniums will bloom any day. The pansies and petunias are lovely, too. Hubby and I just went out and pounded five rebar stakes into the top edge of the berry patch. Tomorrow he plans to attach fence to the stakes. That will cut off a path to the garden that the pups like to take. I have a feeling we will be engaged in more of this activity sooner than later. We also have a way to string a couple of lines of single strand wire on the side to ward off more dog streaking. I pulled the garden hose today, delivering water to various gardens. Yesterday I planted green beans, a tomato and lettuce. All that got a drink today. Here's hoping for emerging leaves!

Everything sounds so lovely! I would love to see that myself. I currently live in the City, there's not much trees and flowers to see. I do wish that cities preserve and main that kind of beauty.

@sallypup I'm sorry for myself and for the othes around me as well, especially the children. It's so rare for people these days to encounter and appreciate the true beauty brought by nature itself.

@HaruLoid You don't have parks? How about Farmer's Markets?

It sounds like your will have lots of delicious fresh fruit this year. The weather is staying nice now and we plan on planting the raised bed on the weekend.
