St. Patrick's Day Dispensation: A New Post

Mayhap onliest other thang harder to give up fer Lent than bloggin' is cawfee--


But it bein' St. Patrick's Day, I'se foregoin' the green beer fer postin' to the Porch.

We's havin' a lovely spring, an' I hopes y'all is too. Thar's a heap of good bird watchin'....

the blackberry canes is flowering....

Tabebuia trees is yellower than a crayon!

An' thar's a pink version too--whichever variety one has, ya get about 3-4 days of bloom, then a week of carpet:

The bulbs is burstin' in bloom...


but I 'specially luv the green amaryllis


though Mr. Frog (above) is quite content near the scarlet amaryllis.

The last of the Camellias remind me that they need fertilizin' now to insure next year's show...

I'se been to book club, but sorry, Chick9, I couldn't git 'em to read this:


An' I'se had a few foray's into Thai food...



some travel, some home chore-projects--an' a good amount of serious readin'--plenty to keep a body busy. But...I miss all y'all.

Lent IS long, I was just thinking the very same thing earlier in the week. It went like this "How long is Lent, when is Aunty coming back?"..... "THAT long??" :-)

Beautiful photos. I'm always so surpirsed to see blackberries in March because they don't fruit until late August around here.

Thank you for the post! You are missed.

LOL @ Boxer!

Lent does seem longer than 40 days without a dose of Aunty wisdom here and there. Your neck of the woods is looking very Spring. Ours is early too as the oak bloom has driven all the allergy sufferers indoors, the dogwoods, forsythia, quince, wisteria,azaleas and bulbs are all either showing color or in early blooming stages.

I do have a beautiful pink and white striped amaryllis but I do not have any of that dreamy pale green. I reckon I best be researching the bulb nurseries!

Godspeed, looking forward to your
Easter post.

How neat to see amaryllis as spring bulbs and not Christmasy indoor plants like up North here.

Love, Love the photo out through the door of the screened porch.

GREEN AMARYLIS! Be still my heart! I've never seen such things. Reminds me of green Lenten roses, which remind me that yes, we are still in Lent. Love your photos.

Did my email fall through the Lenten cracks or has Aint B disowned me?

Thought this might be of interest:
