Waiting for Spring

by Tricia

With the taste of Spring like weather we’ve been having lately – especially this past Friday! – I can barely wait until the first spring flowers in my garden start to appear!

One of the first flowers to show up is always the Crocus’.

I planted yellow and purple ones in the lawn and just at the edges of my garden beds (lawn edges). So come the end of March I should have some of these lovelies baring their lovely blooms.

Purple Crocus

One of the next flowers to appear each Spring is my Hellebore. I love this flower. They’re so pretty. I just wish they’d lift their flower heads more so that we could enjoy their blooms better. The flowers are always dropping and hiding behind the plants leaves.

If you have a garden or have planted some flowers in your yard which ones are you most looking forward to seeing come Spring?

Green Thumb members – Are you guys still posting most Sundays?

Only a few of you check in regularly. Shady Gardener being the most frequent. I thought that most members had agreed to come and check in on my Green Thumb Post so that all of our members would know who made a new post?

From my end it feels like very few people are participating. I’m getting lonely! If that’s not the case, please do check in on each new Green Thumb Post that I make so that I and all the rest of the members who are participating that week will know you have made a new GTS post that week.

No GTS for me today

by Tricia

I’m sorry. I’m not doing a Green Thumb Sunday post on this blo or the other two blogs I normally do GTS posts on today.

A friend of ours had open heart surgery on Friday (schedule surgery, not emergency) and we’ve been in and out of the hospital since Thursday visiting her and her husband and seeing other friends there as well. Plus I’m still sick. Darn Crohns – it’s acting up terribly …

So for once, I’m giving myself permission to not do a GTS post. ‘Cause if I do one I’e got to do three … LOL

I do hope that most GTS members are participating today. It seems GTS might be dying down and I think that would be a shame. So please do participate, otherwise let me know and I’ll take you off the GTS list.

Thanks!

We’ve had a death in the family

by Tricia

For those of you visiting today for Green Thumb Sunday I might not be able to get my GTS post up today.

My husbands cousin passed away on Friday and we’ll be in and out of town over the next few days as we visit with mourning family members, go to the visitations and the funeral.

I know that there are several people still waiting to be added to the GTS list. I’m sorry that I haven’t managed to check your sites and get them added to the list in time for this weeks Green Thumb Sunday posts.

However, if you are new to GTS and are participating this week, please feel free to leave a comment on this post (or my GTS post if I get it up before we leave later today) and other members will know you are participating and hopefully visit to see what you’ve posted.
