Some Forget-me-nots that came up in the pavement. They self-sow everywhere and I don't mind a bit.
Front to back: Redbud, Dogwood, Red Maple and lower left corner some Forsythia.
Bluebells that have self-sown also with some Daffodils, Spring Beauty, and Marsh Marigolds.
First trip to The Great Swamp Nursery for our annuals.
I didn't know that gnomes had tusks!
Town-wide garage sales in Barnegat proved very fruitful. Two mini muffin tins, two ceramic flower posts, two sets of clear salt & pepper shakers, a partial set of make-up brushes (which will not be used for make-up), a cool glass cone Christmas ornament, a trifle bowl, and a mechanical pencil I bought because I had never seen colored lead refills. All this for $12. And we got a toddler-sized table and two chairs for $5 which just needs a good sanding and a coat of paint.
Checked out a new consignment shop in Manahawkin and saw some carved flamingos.
An April sunset.
With a skein of egrets.
And the "Box of Sunshine" that I put together for our Education Foundation Fund raiser. Our group (office staff and the teachers not part of a bigger group) went along with my suggestion for this. Some gave me cash, others gave me items to put in. Everything had to be yellow (or mostly).
Enjoyed the flowers today, and a great idea for the fundraiser, it is pretty.

ReplyDeleteThose spring flowers are beautiful - I'm glad it's finally arrived for you. The gnome watering cans are cute! I had a suspicion that the makeup brushes were highly unlikely to be used for anything other than ink ;-). The little cone ornament with the robin is adorable - it sounds as if you did well that morning.
ReplyDeleteThose flamingos are beautiful! More elegant than a lot of what I have seen. And the flight of egrets - I just love that photo, so peaceful.
