Spring

[clarencebunsen]

Last week I took a photo of the first rose of the year to bloom. It's now the home screen of my phone. At that time the lilacs we planted last year were already in bloom. Today the first rose has faded but 7 others have taken its place and dozens are ready to pop. The lilacs are still going strong and the peonies are sprouting. I love it.

Yesterday was also the day our mower guy came. Once again he had his family with him. This time while he mowed the back, his daughter used a kid sized (but functional) leaf blower to clear the clippings from the sidewalk. I thought it would sound creepy to say "Hey, little girl do you want a cookie?" I took a bag of Barb's chocolate chip cookies out to her Mom and told her they were a treat for later.

In the stillness of last week's dawn,

I captured the first rose, delicate and bold,

Its petals unfurling, a symbol of new beginnings,

A promise of beauty, preserved in a photograph.

Now, it adorns the screen of my phone,

A reminder of fleeting moments, of time's gentle march,

As the lilacs we planted last year,

Burst forth in a riot of purple and white.

Today, the first rose has wilted,

But in its place, seven others bloom,

Their fragrant blossoms reaching towards the sun,

Dozens more waiting, on the cusp of opening.

The lilacs stand proud, still in their prime,

Their sweet scent mingling with the warm spring air,

And the peonies, with their tightly closed buds,

Whisper secrets of blossoms yet to come.

As I gaze upon this ever-changing canvas,

Nature's masterpiece unfolding before me,

I am filled with a sense of wonder and gratitude,

For the beauty that surrounds me, in every bloom and sprout.

This garden, a living tapestry of colors and scents,

A reflection of life's cycles, of growth and renewal,

I am reminded of the simple joys that nature offers,

And the love that blooms alongside each new flower.

Our white roses bloomed yesterday, the red ones have plenty of buds but havn't bloomed yet. Peones are out bit no lilacs this year. I think the tree is on it's way out. We had lilac bushes that were awesome & lined the neighbor's driveway but little by little they died off. When they were in full bloom they were a sight to behold.

Yes, I have always loved lilacs. I'm encouraged that these wintered well. They may not live forever but they should outlast me.

Maybe these need pruning? I don't know. I've been wanting to plant some but I never see them at local nurseries.

I know we bought them locally but they are only available for a short season each year. It's always fun to walk through the garden center.
