A Bit Horticultural



A warm, sunny afternoon at last. We walk down 21st Street.


I like wandering about imagining what it would be like to live in such and such house.
This is one I feel I would be quite happy in. I imagine there is a garden behind the house too.


Kerria is rather a jolly bush --the same color as a school bus. It reminds me of English gardens.


A forget-me-not with a variegated leaf amidst the spent crocus leaves


Ah! The subtlety of the Lenten Rose.


 A wonderful display of Easter flowers at the much-too-expensive shop on the corner of 9th Avenue.

Happy Easter

    to say happy easter!
    on my way to the beach
    as it is fun to hunt eggs
    amongst the dunes,
    you know...

    {{ secretly secretly
    i am dreaming
    Where i hope to Be this time
    next month...
    Inshallah }}

    ~~sending head*pats
    to Buster
    wondering
    if he will be wearing
    silly bunny ears on sunday~~

    Elizabeth, do you think that there is room for one more in that charming house with the garden in back?

    The spring flowers are scrumptious, aren't they!

    Happy Easter back to you and yours. xo

    I am coming to live in that house, too ... so it will have to be quite large to accomodate us all!

    Love the photos and the atmosphere they create.

    Hydrangea - one of my fav flowers. Like how No 43 is cleverly incorporated in to "your" house gate!

    Happy Easter to you and the family. Lovely Spring photos of NYC. The Kerria is lovely. I think mine is way, way behind. The weather is awfully cold for April! Cheers Lori

    Hi,
    The flowers in the last picture are called Hydrangeas here in the UK because they like to be watered so much. I have some blue and pink ones in my garden.
    Lots of lovely flowers.
    Hope you had a Happy Easter.
