the earth laughs in flowers. (emerson)
Oh my goodness.
Just stepping outside of this house lately is like Christmas morning.
The flowers that are blooming and springing up all over the place are just incredible.
Every day we are collecting flowers and filling jars full of them.
We have to.
It’s too irresistible.
I am working hard to discover the names of each blooming thing in our yard, but I am running into serious roadblocks.
It’s like looking up a word you don’t know how to spell to begin with.
I sent Mosely out with a camera today and she snapped photos of whatever colorful treasures she could find.
My favorite is a shrub that features the most divine delicate white flowers that resemble baby’s breath but are somehow just a little different.
They are incredible.
And I’ve been admiring them all week.
I can’t believe I waited until today to realize how perfect they would look against our red front door.
I wonder what color will surprise us tomorrow.

Jealousy runs through me! We only have a bit of green peaking through. So sad, no color here.

Don't be jealous yet. We just have to mow grass sooner and fight snakes earlier. And battle heat longer.
