I thought it had been just two or three weeks since I last blogged. Turns out it's been almost a month. No wonder my sister called and several regular readers e-mailed to ask if I'd quit blogging.
It wasn't my plan to disappear. Blogging just hasn't been at the top of my To Do list lately. Among other things, I've been reading a lot of non-fiction, working on a romance novel, and redesigning and updating my five-year-old website, which is definitely showing its age. (Don't go over there yet; I'll let you know when the new design and content goes live.)

The trunk you see in the photo belongs to one of my pink-flowering dogwoods, which aren't yet in bloom.

In the foreground of this photo you can see part of a large cluster of grape hyacinths that is just beginning to push up past the dead leaves.

Here's another bunch of daffs that was denied fertilizer. (And who left the garden hose out?)
In the foreground of this pic is another of my favorite groundcovers that's just beginning to pop up: the sometimes annoyingly invasive brunnera has heart-shaped leaves and for at least six weeks in the spring, sends up clusters of darling little blue flowers that look just like forget-me-nots.

This photo is from last spring, when I bought oodles of colorful primroses. We planted about two dozen of them, but so far, only a handful are coming up. Our fault, I think, for not raking the leaves off them after they went to sleep last fall.
More garden news later, as it develops. Stay tuned.

Whew!! So glad you're back! (I have several authors whose blogs I read regularly, and when they don't post I worry! And it's not like I don't have anything else to do - - LOL!!) Anyway, lovely pics and I really am glad you're back.
Blessings, Patti (from Georgia)
Thanks, Patti. I'll try to get back in the groove.
