Wild plum trees.
All the run off streams are full and running, been a long time since that's happened.

Ooooo, now I see the valance colors. Very nice! And I like your handle choice too. The black goes with the black in the valance.
They sell some things called winter pansies in the fall... but they don't show up here again until April.
And I've never known the winter pansies to do very well, they get leggy and the flowers get small... I wonder if it's not the cold, but the grey and lack of much sun. You get a lot more sun in winter, even if it's cold.
My mother painted those pictures. She had just been doing oil painting for a short time before she got sick. I've got 2 other pictures of her's hanging, and 2 in the closet that she didn't finish....
I hate it that these 4 barn pictures she didn't sign...She wasn't real confident in her oil painting:)...She painted ceramics for years, and was very good.
My red bud tree is just full of fat buds, they haven't opened yet, but when they do it should look great.

I like the new handles! Those are good.
Well mine looked pretty soggy and limp after all the ice...Mack and I were both surprised that they survived that. I put some Miracle Grow on them, and they really perked up, and are putting out lots of blooms.
Becky
LOL....thanks:)

I'll bet that's exactly what it is. Pansies definately like sun. They'll do okay in the shade, but don't bloom near like they would in full sun. The part of my front corner bed nearest the house gets shaded for most of the day and the flowers in that part are not nearly as thick as they are farther out.
We also have the majority of the pansies sold in the fall, because that's the best time to plant them so that they get a good start before it starts to freeze. They do offer a few during the winter, but they're pretty pitiful-looking by that time. They really start to put them out again in the spring, I guess because people start geting the planting fever when the first few warm days come and pansies are the only things that'll live through the late frosts we sometimes get. But it's really too late to plant them by then. They don't really get to looking good before the heat frys them. Mine are pretty much toast by June.
That is what the road to where I work looks like. I had to do a double take there for a minute!

And the double post proves it ;~)
Your garden is going to be beautiful when everything starts growing.
Just in from riding...I actually had a frisky horse under me today....felt good:)
I took lots of pictures, and I have one of an animal track...I'm no good at that sort of thing, figuring out what it is...looked like a deer but had two sharp point marks behind the main body of the print, if you know what I mean...
Anyway, I'll get them loading after I unsaddle...
Becky
Thanks:)

I don't know why it is double posting. I only send it once.
Looking forward to the pictures...
Glad Harley's doing so good :~)
Lot's of things have been screwy:)
The road with the Bradford Pears, is the road that runs thru the neighborhood I live in.

A girl here at work said Nora Roberts has a new series out that is good.
I'll check it out. I used to like and read a lot of her stuff but I like them "thick" and lately it's been 3 stories or series in one book.
