It feels like Spring is never going to arrive here in Wisconsin. It is almost the end of April and we still haven’t put away our winter coats.
I am eager to get outside and see some flowers.
I have a love/hate relationship with gardening. When I was in my 20’s and had my first home, I put in a pond and garden in my backyard. I was quite enthusiastic about the hobby. I even joined an online seed club and began exchanging seeds with people all over the country. I had over 100 different kind of flowers growing in my garden by the time I sold the house. I also developed a loathing for this hobby when I realized how much work went into it year after year. The weeding and thinning out never ends. Even though I am not exactly enthusiastic about the hobby I continue to dabble in it and luckily for me I married a guy who never gardened before but has come to absolutely love it!
Today I want to share some garden photos mainly to remind myself that I will be seeing some beauty outside pretty soon (I hope)!

The pond
This is my Mom’s flower garden! She amazes me every year with how much hard work and time she puts into her garden!
Another one of my Mom’s garden…I love watching it change and flourish every year!

A garden in our yard that my husband made. I added the dresser that I found on the side of the street and painted.
Oh Spring….I beg you…please get here soon! I might even do a bit of weeding!
