Garden dreaming

I'm up early this morning with my garden gloves on and ready to get started!  Well, kinda, sortof...

 



Oh, no,

It's raining!!!

 

I do so want to update my late winter/early spring backyard garden.

 

This is what it looks like right now. 



The Dianthus plants (pink and white flowers on the left) are putting on a beautiful show right now.

They really like to show off in early spring and again in early fall  here in my little backyard garden patch.

 

And the Pansies have been such a happy sight for me all winter, but their season is almost over.

They love Alabama's Fall, Winter, and early Spring seasons, but those cute little faces can't take the heat when it gets here.

 

I love to keep this little flower bed cheery and upbeat year around because this is what I gaze at outside my kitchen window,

Lucky me!

It even makes dishwashing a happy task.

 

 

 

 

But, it's okay that I can't work at my garden quite yet.

I can plan, plan, plan it.

And dream, dream, dream about what I want it to look like while I:

 

clean bathrooms

do the laundry

and cook for tomorrow's family reunion

 

And who knows, the sun may peek out in a little while.

And if it does, I'll head out to the plant nursery and pick out some cheery blooms to liven up my backyard.

 

How about you, what's the view outside your kitchen window right now?

I'd love to take a peek.  :)
