Purple & White

Colors that first show up around here in early spring are purple and white.  Dogwoods are absolutely beautiful this year.  This one is at our neighbor's house.

Can you believe the color on these pansies? If it wasn't for that little speck of purple you would almost think it was black!

I love these little things.  These are all the pots I still have to plant that were dug up from up the hill where we first placed them six years ago.

These white irises are so old.  There was an old homestead on this land so that is why we have them.

To tell you the truth I have no idea what type of bush this is yet I know the bees like it!

Could not resist throwing in a little pink!  These have since gone away.

This is a dogwood growing in the back yard by my daughter. Look how it has a tinge of pink on it.

Well, it does have some white to it! An almond bush, I wished it bloomed longer yet it is very pretty and dainty.

Look at this beautiful wisteria! It has such a lovely smell to it too.

It has been growing up this tree forever!

I hope all of these photos turn out ok.  I'm unable to crop them right now since Picasa and blogger are still doing their crazy thing.  Everything is much greener now, and the leaves seemed to have magically come out overnight.  Of course, the pollen is here too....ah choo!
I have been very busy around here lately as we are expecting company from Germany.  Of course along with company it seems that everything wanted to break at once including our well pump.  The saying when it rains it pours has been very true here!  I apologize for not getting around to blog read lately nor posting that much although it is very frustrating when blogger has its problems. I'll try to get back soon to my blog reading as I do miss seeing what everyone has been up to!
