The roses are pruned
But certainly lots of hard work still to do before the shrubs are transformed to their vibrant Summer colour
The Dogwood stems look pretty lying on the lawn but I cannot leave them there
There's colour indoors too with Orchids flowering into their 3rd and 4th year

Then there is lots of card making - Friends getting married

And lots of birthdays

Dearest Barbara,
I am thrilled that Spring is getting so close! So ready to see the beautiful flowers in bloom and smell the fragrances in the air.
I hope to take lots of walks this Spring.
Your pictures are lovely and the flowers are so pretty.
Enjoy seeing your nice cards that you have created.
God bless,

Always enjoy seeing your beautiful cards.
What beautiful cards, so very professional.
I've been cutting back my Cornus also, though I always feel it looks so bare.
Lovely card making Barbara. Isn't it lovely to finally see Spring coming. It's been Winter for far too long. The local daffodil show only had half the number of daffs this year, so it's definately been a late Spring.
I love crocuses too.
My goodness, your garden is absolutely beautiful. I love it! :) And your cards as well...my, you've been busy!
Looks as if you're all ready for any occasion that could possibly come up! The garden looks as ready as can be and the orchids...oh my!
You've been busy making cards - and they are beautiful. Your crocuses look so cheery against the brown dirt - soon the shrubs will be in full leaf.

So glad you dried out in your garden, all will be beautiful in no time.
You have been busy with your art of card making and they are very good. Happy Spring

You've been very busy, Barbara! And productive too. It's good to see some gorgeous color bursting forth from the earth in your garden.
Hi Barbara,
Your cards are magnificent! Well done.
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures of the blooms over your way. They are just wonderful to look at. Nothing like that at my house for sure. Your cards are lovely too!
Wow, the cards are so beautiful, Barbara! You are truly very creative. I love to make cards too but they are not as nice as yours :)
The orchids are so beautiful too. Thanks for sharing with us. Thanks for your visit too. Take care and have a very blessed weekend!
Warm regards,
Nancie
You must have a lot of friends :)
I wish you would tell me your secret for growing those orchids? I am so jealous. They are just stunning. I have one little first year sitting on my mantle. I have tried and failed supremely at keeping them alive after they bloom.
Your garden is shaping up. I have just gotten finished with my spring clean up and perennial dividing and rotation. Day lilies are hard to divide I found out:]
You have been busy! We are having warm weather today and tomorrow so I will be busy outside too. Things need cleaning up after our crazy winter.
Love the cards!
These cards are beautiful! I should sit around and do something so creative and productive - to feel as if the day has been full.
Your cards are just wonderful! You do such a beautiful job on them.
And.....the crocus!!!! Beautiful. It won't be long before the garden will be in full bloom.
I wish that I had better luck with orchids. Yours are stunning. I really enjoyed the pictures of your beautiful cards. What a talented lady you are...
