Spring Flowers On The Prairie

The first signs of our PRAIRIE SPRING showed up

when greenery popped through the brown soil in late WINTER.

Early SPRING blossoms manifested

Tulips, Daffodils, Grape Hyacinths 

and more.

A teaser of what was to come.

The beds needed weeded.  

Nature's trick on being imperfect

and needing extra attention.

The Lilac Bushes begin to produce buds 

that matured and grew into fragrant blooms.  

Soon following pursuit were the long stems 

that support Iris blooms.

Red Bud Trees wakened with pink buds 

that opened into blossoms galore

along with other flowering trees of white flowery blossoms.

Such elegant beauty.

The Star Of Bethlehem flower quietly appeared

low on the ground just before the Irises sprung forth.

Our Irises are showing off their glory

one bloom at a time.

While fragrant Peonies pleasantly puff open.

Applaud the climbing Roses small in stature,

but mighty with nature's parfum.

Deep breathing required.

With the cool fresh air and the birds singing, 

I am so fond of this time of year called SPRING.

Splashes of color here and there.

My favorites are the Lilac Bushes, Roses and I r i s e s.

Childhood favorites have followed me into my adulthood.

As I age into a Matronly LADY,

I say with confidence...I  l o v e  Irises.

They have added such joy to my SPRING 

after a long Winter filled with mental exercises 

deliberately about the good things in LIFE.

BLESSINGS to you!

Thank you for stopping by,

Beautiful SPRING.
