Each time I watch a bulb bloom .....I am so amazed.

Tonight I got home from work when it was still light out, what a treat that was after the long dark winter months. I went out to take a walk in the garden and looked up into the tree. Our friend from yesterday invited many more to join at P&B Garden.

Today I got to capture the first sign of spring with my new camera. This robin red breast was sitting at the very top of our tree signing a lovely song and I zoomed in for this shot. Thank you again for my new camera, Paul, Brian and Jennifer, I love it.

Our Red Kramer Camellia is full of buds. Red camellias are a symbol of wealth and so they are rightly grown in P&B's Garden. Some history I found on Monrovia's website lists that camellias represent longevity and faithfulness and have long been a primary floral component in Asian weddings.

Every year I force paper whites during the Thanksgiving weekend so I have a bouquet of fragrant winter beauties blooming in time for the Christmas holiday.

We were all surprised in Big D when it snowed on Christmas Eve!!!

What a treat for us ol' Chicagoans.........

It is Sunday, November 22, 2009 and I cannot believe that we are just a few days away from Thanksgiving. As I walked around the garden today I found many of my favorite roses still in bloom.

Today I actually got home when it was light out !!! and I got to see my roses blooming.....................What a treat !!
