Dot, your yard is GORGEOUS! Love it. I'm by early before the day gets away with me, and I want to thank you SO MUCH for your prayers. Love you much...

XO,

Sheila :-)

Stacey said...

Dot your yard is so pretty. I always love how it looks like another room out there. Is that a clematis blooming already in the top picture?

I want to do a post about them but mine are not blooming and won't be for awhile.

Dawn said...

I'd like to come sit a spell! Dawn

Mabry's Gamma said...

Dot,

Is this your yard? I LOVE it! It is so stunning with all that color and it looks so inviting. I'd like to come and sit a spell. I hate to show you pictures of my yard. Maybe I should have you landscape my new place whenever we move.

Deb said...

Your yard is so pretty! I'm still working on my flowerbeds to get them back in shape after winter, love your wicker furniture!

Hi I am a new follower and coming to you from Nebraska. The daffodils are about 1 inch out of the ground and tulips just starting to poke out. Your yard is really nice and really making me so excited for spring. I broke my pelvis in a horse mishap in Sept and had a very long winter. But I am back and better than ever and discovering all the fab blogs out there.What a world!

your azaleas and bleeding hearts are beautiful!
happy outdoor days to you!

Terrie's Lil' Piece of Serenity said...

Dot, Thanks for sharing your beautiful yard with us. We won't have any color around here for a couple of months. It's still too cold. So, this post was like a breath of fresh air to me. I love all of your beautiful trees. Bill has done a wonderful job with your yard. Hugs, Terrie

Painter's Place said...

Everything is just beautiful in your yard. Aren't you glad it's finally Spring?

Mrs. Trixi said...

Alright, Dot, you know how I already love, love, love your yard. I need to come and take notes, as we are just beginning our landscape journey on this place. Your yard is so beautiful. I would love to see a picture of the front yard with the front of your house. Does that make sense? I am working on the front of our house and find myself looking at everyone else's for inspiration.

salmagundi said...

There is that beautiful yard I've been waiting to see. You can't imagine the difference between yours and mine. We are just starting to green up a little bit - still brown. In Colorado, they call it the mud season. Have much fun in your yard with your family this week. Sally

Your yard is so lovely! Gorgeous! The flowers were pure joy for my eyes after receving another 3 inches of white stuff this morning. LOL
I know soon our bleeding hearts and clematis will be in bloom maybe in June!
I want to thank you for your moving and heartfelt prayer for DiDi last night. It touched my heart.

You truly are a rare gem!

Hi Dot...what a vision this is...my yard looks scrawny & needy after seeing yours...but this is only our 2nd spring here, so if we don't give out first, maybe someday we'll look a little better..I love your home...inside & out! ;-) Bo

I can imagine your scream when you saw your first rose of the season, it was probably similiar to my scream when our pretty daffodils started blooming, I just love them! thanks for stopping by! Sue

I'm so jealous! We have snow again today which isn't too unusual and we need the moisture so I won't complain but......I want your spring up here! The colors in your yard are just beautiful.

we have had snow two days in a row!!! grrrr

Connie said...

What a gorgeous yard ! I especially love the first picture of the flower. You must have a super camera or a terrific eye, or maybe both. That's what I want to do with mine this summer. Every flower I see I want to snap it!

Love reading your blog.
