Birds, Branches and Blossoms

Early Spring In My Backyard

I was hoping to be able to share with you my completed guest room this week but, as usual, it's taking a little longer than expected to wrap up that project (you can peek at my progress on Instagram or Facebook).  Hopefully, it will be complete in time for next week's post.

In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy some pictures I took this week of the birds, branches and blossoms in my yard and garden:

Garden Views: Winter

My Garden In Winter

My plan was for my garden and I to spend this winter apart.  I thought we could use a break from each other but of course I was wrong.  It turns out that warm or cold, snow or shine, my garden is a place where I can always find solace and inspiration.

Here are a few more photos I've taken in and around my garden this season:

Until Spring

Some of my magical garden friends hanging out together in their winter home.

I spent some time in my garden today doing some chores I probably should have gotten to sooner.  Mainly, putting some things away for the winter.  Unfortunately, there are no colorful blooms or beautiful butterflies to keep me company this time of year.  However, all the faded flowers and seed heads reminded me of all the beauty I enjoyed in my garden these last few months and how much more I have to look forward to in the coming seasons.

So while I am definitely going to take advantage of the time off from gardening chores this winter, I really can't wait until spring.

I hope you enjoy these "now and then" photos from my garden:

When October Goes

Looking Up

Happy almost Halloween!  Normally I hate to see October go but today I feel like November will be arriving at just the right time.  It seems that after eight years together, my garden has finally trained me to appreciate the beauty and blessings of each month and every season.

I hope you enjoy the photos below which I took in my yard and garden this week.  Have a safe and happy Halloween weekend.

CAED Day 29: The Art Of Autumn

St. Francis among some mums and pansies in my backyard.

Autumn has been slow to fully arrive around here this year.  Some leaves have already changed or even begun to drop while others are slower to turn.  I have a feeling that any day now there is going to arrive that perfect Fall day where everything is so brilliant I can hardly believe my eyes.  Of course, I'm too impatient to wait for that.  So I decided to go through some of the photos I've taken around this time in the last few years and enjoy Autumn right here at my desk.

Here are some of my favorites:


Autumn Bloom (Anemone)


Autumn Leaves


Autumn Portal


Autumn Chores


Autumn Road


Autumn Bridge
