Wonderful weather these past few days. The temp has been around 82. Sitting outside has been lovely...except when there are interruptions which I will not think about... but yes, it has been enjoyable being in the garden.
The Cape Honeysuckle is blooming. I had it cut back almost to the ground last year and it has been returning slowly. Happy to see these bright orange flowers ad the hummers are too.
The hummers also love the Penstemon which are all over the garden. These re-seed themselves wherever they please and I am very pleased.
The Hops Bush is also showing off with blooms. This bush has tripled in sized since arriving a year ago. I need to find a better way to support it. Maybe with a wooden trellis. I will look this weekend when I finally get to Lowes. I have been a little busy and at times feeling overwhelmed with things so I have not felt like going there this week. Every so often I think about finding a fast train to somewhere...the only trains running around here are freight trains... wonder if any hobos would be willing to take me along???? The BSNF or Burlington Northern and Santé FE Railway is the largest freight train system in North America covering 32,500 Miles in 28 states. I can hear the whistle sometimes in the very early hours of the morning. I love the lonely sound.... anyway, when things get boggled in my mind I think of hopping the train as it rumbles slowly along the track which is about 3 miles from me and imagine all sorts of adventures. Not today however as I have things to do. Once Dennis and I got caught at a rail crossing in Glendale and we counted 140 cars...it seemed to take forever to clear the crossing.
I bought a bunch of Tulips yesterday... they really speak of Spring and definitely brighten my living room. They were tightly closed yesterday and this morning have begun to open. Must enjoy them quickly as they do not last very long once opened fully.
A little more done on the kitchen gal. Hopefully more today. Right now the swishing is finished so the fluffing will start once I get to the laundry area. So off I go. Nice to chat with you today and always. Thank you for your kind words and always for your friendship.

Lovely Flowers gracie inside and outside your garden.
It was a lovely day here today getting warmer and a lovely Spring like day.
I love trains when I am on them , but don't enjoy getting on and off, with the rush of other people .
Your flowers are beautiful. Glad to see you're able to embroider again. 😘
My dear, if you ever hop that train head on over to Colorado!
Your flowers are beautiful! Today is the day I plant my poppy seeds to see what happens...it's exciting :D
Your tulips are so pretty Gracie. The kitchen gal looks great so far!
Pretty flowers you are enjoying.
It was quite warm here today, arrived perfectly in time for the equinox tomorrow and springtime.
I love the sound of trains (and traveling on them). Commuter trains run through my neighborhood; it's not the same, but I sometimes hear the whistle late at night.
It is this time of the year most that I want to be in Arizona, Northeast still wet cold windy and still possibility of snow. Can not wait till May when I again return to enjoy our place
I just to stare dreamily at train tracks all the time when I was a kid...there's something magical about following them with your eyes all the way to the horizon!
