Hope everyone had a nice St. Patrick's Day! It's now over...........
.......and Spring has officially arrived! Happy Spring!
When the bright yellow splashes of Jessamine bloom out, I know spring has arrived!
Charleston jessamine |
Our South Carolina State flower blooms and blossoms rampantly over fences and gates and drapes itself up and down poles. It is sometimes called trumpet vine, or even Carolina jasmine. Not to be confused with Confederate Jasmine. LOL Yep, confusing. LOL I'm STILL NOT sure I've got my "jessamines" and "jasmines" figured out. LOL
Some scenes from a Charleston walk:
I always stop to look at the Free Libraries people have in their gardens, fun to see what is there. Sometimes I find one I like, and often I leave a bunch as well.

One of my favorite lanes in the city
the jasmine smells so good!
Here's our Jessamine growing wild out in the country:
I love how it tumbles over the fences
Pretty flowers in the grocery store:
We found these pretty dishes in one of the outbuildings here:
And these glasses too!
Lots of this pinkish/red weed growing wild out along the highways and by-ways.
I have no idea what it is?
Decorating for Spring! And waiting for our purple irises to come up.
the tiny white flowers are now going back to sleep and getting scarce (does anyone know what these are??)
......and the azaleas are done for the year.
The Worm Moon of March:

The next full moon is the first week of April, I think it is called the Pink Moon |
Did anyone catch the planets in the night sky these past weeks? That's Venus on the top, and Jupiter on the bottom . Jupiter kept getting lower and lower on the horizon, until you couldn't see it anymore. They were bright and pretty.
our bluebirds have nested and been on eggs for a few weeks now, we hope to see fledglings soon! |
Happy Weekend y'all! Hope you have a lovely Spring weekend.
