We interrupt this sewing blog for.....Spring!

I just have to depart from sewing talk, and share some images from my garden today.  It's just sooo beautiful.
White Bleeding Heart

Purple Tulips- these used to be solids, but now have developed feathered petal sports.

White Crabapple Tree and Purple Sandcherry-I love the contrast of these together.


Littleleaf Lilac-this is the best lilac ever- it repeat blooms in the summer

Charles Joly Lilac-outstanding French lilac variety that never fails to produce big, beautiful blooms.


Sensation Lilac- a stunning bicolored hybrid- has little lilac smell.


Lavender Azalea


Flower Arrangement by my daughter

Hope your Spring is as beautiful, wherever you are!
