Spring Blooms 2024

 

Saturday afternoon I walked around my neighborhood a bit to see what is blooming. The phlox around the Grace Village sign on Sunset Drive is still pretty.


One of my neighbors has irises blooming. My irises will probably open in 10-12 days. The peonies are developing well, may open earlier than June this year.



I noticed that she also has bleeding hearts. The Grace Village condos used to have some of these, but I think they got too much sun. I know mine did and lasted one year. Hers were in the shade of a tree.


This evening I was surprised by a visit from one of the ladies in my Bible study group who dropped off a vase of her snowball hydrangeas. The said her bush was overflowing so she was delivering some flowers to all of the ladies in the group.


Something else that sprouted up this spring were orange flags in our back lawn. We thought they had something to do with the sprinkler system, but they have been there about a month with no activity. Glad we are not the ones having to mow around them.


Today I bought some potted flowers for my front porch. I will try to get some photos in the next few days when the light is better so I can share. Tomorrow is to be a very rainy gloomy day. 

Among all of this floral beauty, I had the pleasure tonight of eating Blue Bell Moo-llenium Crunch ice cream. It finally showed up at Meijer. I think the last time I saw it was last autumn. On sale and with an additional dollar-off coupon, I couldn't resist. We became fond of Blue Bell ice cream when we lived in Texas. Do you have a favorite brand or flavor?
