Flowers, Frost, and Dogs in the Kitchen

Dear friends,

Can you believe the cold windy weather that traveled across the United States these last few days! Thank goodness, it left North Carolina today! 

My pictures were taken before the cold weather arrived...

So, where did the butterflies go? There were so many...

The white Azaleas have been especially beautiful this spring. 

It was a cold blustry 32 degrees this morning, with a big frost, so I am a little afraid to look outside.

and wouldn't you know, the little yard here in the woods was beginning to look half way pretty.

The yellow water Iris around miss duck were opening...

I do believe all the Azaleas have been the prettiest ever this spring.

I started this post early this morning, now here it is close to bedtime. Made the mistake of starting up the mower today and couldn't stop. But anyhow, the flowers and trees look okay, so far. Don't know how long it takes for tender plants to show cold damage. 

Maybe this will be the last of the winter weather. Let's hope so! I need to plant a little something in the garden.

Oh, there is a surprise hidden amongst the showballs. Do you see it?

It is the tiniest little bird house ever! Built for a hummingbird. This was a gift to Poppy from Andee. Would a hummingbird really build in a cute little wooden house?

and before I go...

Here's me trying to clean up the kitchen after supper. Can just imagine how crowded we'll be when Ellie is full grown. :)

I think she may be my girl. She sure is a sweetie pie...and so is Eli. 

Well now it is bedtime and I hear foot steps. Better end this and round up the dogs and cats. Sure appreciate your visiting.

Love,

Henny
