Right now we have yellow, then my white garden blooms and the other gardens have pink and purples. The golds, oranges and reds finish up the growing season with a bang. Have to confess that after I posted this little missive, it turned cold and I didn't feel like lemons were quite right. We even had a bit of snow yesterday. The poor little Robins are very confused!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-74392949039294177552012-03-30T17:24:19.343-07:002012-03-30T17:24:19.343-07:00Hi Jane!

Everywhere we look their are azaleas in all shades of pink. They are huge this year and loaded with flowers. We have a large patch of yellow wild flowers growing by one whole side of the pond. They just popped up and from a distance they look like daffodils. I had to smile when a neighbor told me at the post office that she loved our daffodils! :) I am happy to hear that you are having such a wonderful month. Thanks for the lemon bar recipe. I just made a big lemon cake on wednesday. I used a filling that tastes like lemon pie which is one of my absolute favorites. Have a good evening ahead!

We had cherry nut, guess that shows how immature we were. I never have any luck at the Goodwill. Seems they cull everything for the more current things. I love to find vintage clothes (have quite a collection of vintage slips and Pendleton 49ers) so I go to the smaller stores. This little store always yields the best treasures! I've found Hull pottery, Irish Dresden, toleware, and now this oil lamp. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) it's out of the way and I rarely get to it.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-16885087910489491332012-03-29T05:18:28.051-07:002012-03-29T05:18:28.051-07:00I'll have to look that up, Matty.

Years had gone by before that. I was searching for some things to wear while I garden. I destroy all my summer clothes each year. But I'm too cheap to spend more than a few dollars on them. You just never know what you'll find!

Your recipe for lemon bars sounds yummy, lemon bars are one of my favorite treats, I love lemon desserts. How wonderful that you spotted a fox, such wonderful animals. I have only glimpsed one once in the wild, running across a country road from one field to another, it was quite a treat. How great to find a whale oil lamp, I have never seen one, I always get the bug to go hunting for treasures this time of year. :)April's Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839044050318217592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-29383354323292971242012-03-28T09:37:14.126-07:002012-03-28T09:37:14.126-07:00We had frost the other day too, Shara.

I'm thinking about stocking up on cherry pie filling and dried cherries just in case the prices skyrocket. Hope it didn't hurt their crops. Poor farmers can never seem to catch a break! I noticed some blossoms on my Alpine strawberries today so I guess the frost didn't bother them. Only one of our apple trees and a pear tree were foolish enough to have buds on them.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-16762574682476298192012-03-28T07:42:11.665-07:002012-03-28T07:42:11.665-07:00I love lemon squares!
