My neighbor has this flower that I absolutely adore; and she said it is called lamb ears! I have such a joyful time trying to take pictures of them. They feel so soft to the touch and the tiny lavender

I found this photo in my archives and it is so appropriate for today as we have snow on the ground. I saw some plants poking out of the ground last week, but then they were buried again under the ice during

This is the actual look in my neighborhood! The photo is all natural and their is no edit in this picture. The sky is as gray as you see. Tree buds are coming out, birds have returned but cloudy sky is

This was a female cardinal, coming by and waiting on the fence for me to fill up the bird feeders with seeds. I don't mind feeding them as I love to watch birds! Yes, they do leave a mess of their droppings

I picked up a bag of little bulbs at the Dollar Store, which named Queen Fabiola; and the picture of the flowers were beautiful. I planted some time ago, and they grew! When I saw the flower, I was quite

Isn't this mushroom pretty? You can find all types of mushrooms or fungi in the yard, especially after the rain. Some are very dominant in their presence, and some you have to look for. This one was right
