I just love the demure burst of color crocuses add to the drab winter landscape. Still, this year they caught me by surprise. Can it really be crocus time already?


Last year we were in New Orleans around
Mardi Gras and caught a few strands of beads. I saved them all this time intending to make a "
Mardi Gras Tree" at our house. Here is our little pink dogwood adorned for the season.

Last but not least... Thank you all so much for your congrats on the arrival of our sweet Clara! Here is a picture of her from today, with a precious outfit given to her by Lisa of A Shower Fresh Garden!

I have no idea how I'm going to have time to garden with a baby, a demanding job, and a husband who works nights out of town and is in school.... but I'm going to try!
Have a great weekend! GG
