After the Showers...and Prayers!!

"If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom."  ~Terri Guillemets


We are just passing halfway of this week back at work, I have to say, I think more everyday about retiring and that wonderful beach/island life in Florida.  We talk about it all the time!! Thanks to my parents, coming over and watering my plants mid week last week, we have blooms coming up all over!! I have to say, it is really pretty here in the spring.  I have one garden dedicated to the tropics, which has lilies, calla lilies and Hibiscus.  I have to plant the Hibiscus every year though because they just can't make it through the winter here, but that's okay, that just means they change every year!!  I saw some Hibiscus trees at the store today, but they weren't exactly what I wanted, but they are expecting another truck any day and will call me....so then my gardens will be complete!!


Here are some things that are blooming now, these pics were taken after today's rain...I love the spring....every week we have new flowers!!  Enjoy!!
