A Very Soggy Garden

I returned home from a lovely wedding weekend for one of my college friends to find a very soggy garden. My plan had been to actually plant all the lovely herbs I bought last week.. but I couldn't exactly do that without becoming a swamp monster in the process.  Instead, I just took pictures of the water droplets on our hosta.  The leaves on his hosta is absolutely gargantuan... I think it might be prehistoric.

Pretty Mother's Day Flowers

 
I found this beautiful hydrangea when I was out looking for flowers for both my moms this past weekend. I just adore how this one has both pinks and blues mixed together.  Very neat!

Leafy Beginnings

Took this beauty when wandering through The Garden in the Woods with my mom last Friday for a quick early Mother's Day photography walk.  While the garden wasn't in full bloom yet, it was still quite a nice walk and we were able to get some reasonably good photos.  I especially liked this one showing the beginnings of leaves on all the trees against the blue sky.  We haven't had a lot of that lately, so it's great to capture it when I can.  It seems like even nice warm days can't stay cloud free at this point. 

In the Countryside

Recently I took a trip down to Avon, CT for a baby shower for my brother in law's wife.  The shower was held at Countryside Park, which consists of about 17 acres of land, two ponds and a small building that town residents can rent for small events.  As my family is wont to do, we arrived early and explored the general area until the rest of the shower goers arrived.  We were very fortunate it was such a nice sunny day and were able to enjoy the covered bridge and lovely air.

Sushi sushi!!!

Valentine's Day Tulips

No, my hubbie didn't get these for me for Valentine's Day.  He got me chocolate dipped fruit instead.  Actually I bought these beautiful tulips on the way home from work so we would have something nice and spring-ish to look at over our modest heart day dinner.

Pretty Soft Things All in a Row!

Some of the pretties I saw at the WEBS Superbowl event on Sunday.  So much yarn, so little cashola!
