It's a start

Just under two weeks of school left for me which means... yard sales, geraniums and gardens!!!!



It's always an exciting time when I bring home my geraniums from my classroom that I winterize in front of a huge window. I love my classroom!


                 ( there are 5 more of these pots still at school!)

 I use the flowers to teach kids about photosynthesis, annuals/perennials etc. Some of my geraniums are 5 years old, huge, and start to bloom at the end of April! A nice surprise when it is still freezing out!

Even though I keep many of my geraniums year after year, I can always make room for more!





$0.50 garden embroidery at a yard sale already!

Seeing Spring Red!



Happy Spring! It occurred to me while compiling these pictures, that I must be seeing RED! On the outside especially.




The interior of my home is mainly blues, whites, and grays. 


Not the case outdoors!


I painted my sheshed RED! Although I think I had more on my clothes and in my hair than on the shed! But it was worth it!



Our land is great for gathering natural elements in the Spring. I'm loving the red background.





This was a fun little project with vine and sticks!



Soon, the garden season will be in full swing! I'm sure I will be adding more red, starting with the red iris my son bought me for Mother's Day! 


RED-Y for Spring?
