Look What Happened When I wasn't Looking

Spring has to be on it's way, as the proof is in my garden:
grapefruits a plenty, peach tree ready to bloom, camelia poking her head out, daffodils in full bloom and what are those big purple flowers down below? Clamentis with some shadows and brights being added...painstakingly slowly...but surely...

And I went to Joanne's with this swatch of fabric colors to match and buy threads for when I get to that part of this project. A ways off yet, but there was a fifty percent President's Day Sale I could not pass up. Got the thread holder too!

Wednesdays Walk

On Monday I took a walk and described all the spring flowers already in bloom here. Today I took my camera so I could show you what my eyes saw then and today again.
These are the elephant legs I walked though down this main street in town with the old Victorians restored and flowers along the way. It was bright and sunny again today after yesterdays walk which was drizzly and cold. Today I only needed to wear a sweater.
And I swear my tennis shoes are walking faster and faster than ever before.
