This morning I walked out on the porch and this is what I saw in the front yard.
I was so happy to see the first blooms in my yard this year.
This is the hydrangea that the freeze was not kind to. I am happy to be seeing green leaves. I don’t know if it will bloom this year, but I am happy to see that it has survived.
Hugs and blessing to all and thank you to all of the new followers to my blog.
It was a nice day here today. It was 60 degrees with sunshine and a slight breeze.
I enjoyed a walk around the yard. I filled a hole, picked up a limb and did a little trimming on a shrub. The most work I have been able to do outside in awhile.
My yard is large and sloped so just walking around it gives me good exercise. When I find something to do out there that helps my body even more.
I was sad to see that the hydrangea that was so beautiful last year suffered damage with the last unexpected way below normal temperature we had a few days ago.

Most all of the new growth on the plant is black now from freezing. I saw a little bit of green here and there so I am hoping it recovers and blooms again this year.
If you know of anything I can do to help it recover I would appreciate you sharing with me.
The last few days I have seen several beautiful robins in my yard. I am always happy to see them after the winter’s cold weather. The last two days were beautiful with sunshine and the temperature in the mid to upper 70’s.
It is nice to see green grass and spring plants beginning to show up.
Today I noticed that the mock pomegranate bush is beginning to leaf out. The azalea will be in bloom soon. I hope it is as beautiful this year as it was last year.
My son-in-law pruned the crepe myrtles. I am anxious to see how they look when they bloom later.
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone. Hugs and blessings.
