We had such a good time in Burton. I am so excited to read Willow Nests blog and see what they have done with the potting shed.........again memories of "sweet mama cottage" and good times and friends. Ludmil's creations are with me every day in my yard and house. It is amazing that after 15 years the are off on a new adventure......and David and I are not there! My love and luck are always with them and we didn't get to spend alot of time together even when they were in Oregon.We all know how busy they are!!!!!!!! I at least knew they were close enough to get a hug when I needed one.

Yes, alot of memories. The sun is shinning bright today and Iremember Ludmil's floweres. Now he's of to garden in hot Texas. Gosh ,I wonder if Clematis grow in Texas???????

memories

This was taken a year ago. We were visiting Linda and Ludmil in Texas. I remember the blue bonnets.

Spring is here!!!!!

Spring has finally made it to my garden. This picture is fom England though. It was taken in the town of lewes[ pronouned Lewis] . Lewes is in Susex.
The spring I am talking about is in my garden here in Oregon. The sweet smell od daphne is in the air outside the back door. The first bulbs are up and the violets are beginning. The first daffodils are blooming amd will come in waves for months. All this has been slow in coming or at least that is what this year feels like. I would love to be out taking pictures but I have lost my camer and I guess I left it at Cindy's wonderful barn. Thus...........Spring will come even later to this blog.
