Faeries in the Rhododendrons - Guest Heart Thursday

I was out planting the tomatoes, when the sun came out.  What a beautiful day--we have had so little sun this spring, I stayed out to soak in a few rays.  While I was at it, I was taking some photos of the flowers in the front yard.  Do you believe in faeries?  (grin)  Well here's proof they exist.  They were flitting around in the rhodies!

They threw faery dust at my camera...

And plopped a sunny heart on a Rhodie leaf...just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

I believe in faeries, I do, I DO!

Have a perfectly lovely wonderful day.

Hearts at Sea - Guest Heart Thursday

My darling Sissy loves the sea and hearts.  While we were at the ocean this past week, I looked for hearts.  Here you see one in the sudsy waters.

Sitting high atop a sand cliff, I caught another in the clapping hands of the waves.

But the most amazing heart appeared our last evening there, when I asked the Lord for a special heart for my Sissy--one that would say "I love you."   As I watched the colorful shifting vista, a spectacular heart suddenly bloomed above the wings of a butterfly.

An incredibly beautiful heart for my lovely, talented amazing sister Clytie!  I love you, Sissy!

Going on a Heart Hunt...Again - Guest Heart Thursday

On our  heart hunt we met Otis, a very friendly pup who thought it was great fun to lick faces.  There are several hearts in this picture, my little niece found them--can you?

Here you see a heart made of white lilacs.  We decided though lilacs are edible--that they needed some additional seasoning--maybe a bit of brown sugar.

Then it was time to swing bunny...

Which leads us to the BEST heart of all--a sunshine heart!  She had gotten onto the swing herself, bunny ear in hand--when gravel suddenly spat every which direction as she dug her toes to a stop.  Bunny flew to the side as, excitedly pointing at the rocky ground, she exclaimed, "There, THERE!  There's a heart for my Auntie Honey!"

She says this one is special.  It is for her Auntie Honey's happy birthday--since, of course it was Clytie's birthday this week!  "'Caus, I'm her Honey Heart," she adds, with a nod and a grin.

Thank you for joining us on our heart hunt.  We'll see you again next week!

Pretty in Purple - Seasonal Sundays

Spring seems to arrive on the petals of the crocus.  When the world is dark, cold and grey, these beauties spring from the ground in vivid colors to brighten the landscape.

How grateful I am to Spring's little herald, the crocus.

Gaggle of Blossoms - Pink Saturday

I adore the fragrant blooms of Springtime.  This picture, with its rare contrast of blue skies and pink blossoms, fills my heart with hope.  Spring just does that.  Have a lovely day, everyone!

Going on a Heart Hunt - Guest Heart Thursday

Going on a Heart Hunt. We were walking along talking about flowers and other such interesting fare, when my tiny niece suddenly stopped in her tracks. 

"What is it?" I queried.

Her eyes widened then she let go of my hand to sprint down the sidewalk.  "Look at this!"  The excitement in her voice was palpable.  Dancing on her toes, she pointed at the heart she'd found in the trunk of a fat tree and shouted, "take a picture of this one!  I found one! This is for my Auntie Honey!"

And so I did.  I enjoy our heart hunts and sharing them with you is so much fun!
