What a glorious, spring day yesterday! We spent our Easter morning in the garden drinking coffee and enjoying the warm air, blossoms and sweet scent of the pink jasmine.
Mr. A even brought out the cushions from storage so we could soak up the sun.
This is my favorite time of year when the garden looks its best.
In a few weeks, the Cecile Brunner roses will be blooming, covering the arbor, aka the "tunnel of love."
I can't wait!
I spy some lilac blossoms!
Why didn't I plant more than one lilac bush?
Bear is suspicious that a certain Easter bunny has been in his yard.
He has already found a few eggs laying around!
Yay, Reese found them all! (With Papa's help!)
Have a wonderful week! I know this weather won't last....
GM D! You yard is so beautiful and inviting. Reece is a little doll! It sounds as if you had a perfect family day. Another glorious day here today!! Happy Monday,

Delores, your garden looks beautiful, I look forward to following it through the Summer.
ReplyDeleteThose urns planted with Sedum look great. I have urns at the top of my garden shopping list this year but as yet haven't seen one that fit the bill.

Yes, it was a truly glorious day here too! I love looking up through the new green leaves to the clear blue sky. Enjoy the spring days Delores!
ReplyDeleteDelores, what a beautiful garden!! I imagine that it is just wonderful to sit and take it all in! My jasmine has just started to bloom; and I can't wait for the breezes to carry that lovely scent throughout the garden! Yours is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour garden and plants look marvelous, Delores! Glad you had a happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sunning garden!I can only imagine how much work you must put into it for it to look so good! My ideal garden I think.
ReplyDeleteI've just planted my first seeds here since I arrived in Florida 3 years ago. I've had a lot to learn about gardening. I miss my formal English garden and seeing yours takes me back. Thank you. I hope to see an abundance of color in my own backyard this Summer ~ fingers crossed. Hugs, Sally xx
Ah, California winter and spring! I remember when the patio cushions would come back out; so, you saying that just triggered such a feeling.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is, indeed, lush and beautiful. What a sight those rose will be!!! =]
and, that is one sweet and very pretty girly, there! =]
Happy day after Eater, Delores!

ReplyDeleteDelores ~ Your home and gardens are just beautiful. More, more, please give us more. ~m
ReplyDeleteDelores,
ReplyDeleteYour yard, as always, inspires. My Cecile Brynner is already blooming but it's just those few degrees of difference between Northern California (you) and Southern California (me). You're right, I believe they have forecast rain for us on Wednesday. Still, enjoy it while we have it, right?
Karen
P.S. Your granddaughter is darling.
Delores:

Your yard is spectacular!! Needs to be on the cover of a magazine. I especially like how you have used succulents in your urns.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
What a beautiful space. No wonder you love it!
ReplyDeleteIn Minnesota, spring in the garden
ReplyDeletemeans you are introduced anew to some plants you've actually forgotten over the winter (winter is long here). It's really fun, and it makes you excited for what's to come!
I could live in your yard. So lush and green. She is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is to die for, Delores! I wish I could sit there in person and take in all the loveliness with your sweet pooch.
ReplyDeleteGORgeous.
