First of all! I've added a Search box at the top of the page!
I've got way too many topics to find easily and so I hope you all approve!
I want to be a beauty!
I look in the mirror and wish upon a star, a candle's flame, a lucky head of clover and wish:
I WANT to be a beauty.
Not someone that you could pass by on the street and not turn your head as you walk by....
Not something that you will forget the instant a new sparkly thing catches your eye.
I want to be that special something that lingers in your mind's eye and later that day, that night, maybe that next week...
You will pull the memory of me back out of the layers of your subconscious and revisit the unique experience of meeting me...
Talking with me....
Someone that once met, you will never, ever, EVER forget.
Someone who makes you smile even twenty years after meeting me and you'll say:
"I remember her!"
I want to be a beauty.....

One of our neighbors has this massive garden and it is alive with spring color and blossoms.
As you can see, it is on quite a steep hill and I really don't know how they can keep their balance while working in it, but we in the 'hood' certainly reap the rewards of their hard work.
This is a summer cottage only, (they have no insulation or heat in the house,) so they haven't been down yet overnight or done any of the spring cleanup we all do in our year round homes.
The red tulips are so classic.
The garden is full of last years stalks and leaves, which in my mind makes it more interesting!
Forget-me-nots bring back memories of the farm where I grew up. My mother had them growing as if wild at the lawn's edges. Their soft blue shade somehow brings to mind old linen?
Masses of daffodils with bright, yellow and white blooms nodding in the breeze always make me smile.
A little bug somewhere has enjoyed the petal.
Normally Forsythia this huge are only seen in parks and I can look at this one everyday!

I couldn't stop taking pictures! Yikes!
Barberry Royal Burgundy
Such beautiful compact shrubs that don't need much pruning.
I have two and the only drawback is that they have pickers!
Looks completely different in this shot, doesn't it?
How could anybody not like these?
Oh Well!

Finally! I got outside on a nice day and took some pictures! Yay!
I hope everyone's not all tired of spring blossoms and buds!
These are all from around my house. This one is called Scilla (Wikipedia Link) and I adore the blue shade! Grown from bulbs and found on seashores around the world!
Anybody know what this is?
A sumac blossom! Unique and unusual. We let them grow around our house here and there.
No proper Canadian spring revue would be complete without good old Forsythia!
