Happy March! The weather here has been a mix of sunshine and rain lately. I took some close-up photos of my garden – all the plants and trees seem to be awakening from their winter slumber.

The rain drops were so pretty on the lemon blossoms, leaves, and ornamental grass:

The Hollyhocks are back – yay!!!, and the Pride of Madeira are right on schedule:

The plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and cherry blossoms are sooo pretty – I can’t wait for the fruits!:

Oh, and the weeds have had free reign of the back grove. But, I have a soft spot in my heart for this fellow, a dandelion.  When my boys were young, this was the flower that they always picked for me  – oh, so sweet … where has the time gone?:
