6 WORD SATURDAY
SPRING IS COMING OUR WAY---FINALLY!!!
Respectively, my pomegranate tree is budding! ---The rose box roses are thriving! ---The lantana is becoming green again. We even mowed the lawn and edged it a couple of days ago. I'm lovin' it-------in fact, in the last two days we've had clear skies, no threat of rain, and warmer temps! Today it's predicted to be near 70 degrees for a high! And nighttime temps have been a lot milder. Ahhhhhhh, finally, back to normal down here in the south. It's about time. But of course, if everything goes according to Anni...she'll be b!tchin' about the heat in a month or two.

CAMERA CRITTERS
On the island, you'd see this dolphin sculpture on the property of The Sand Castle Curiosity and Gift Shoppe! Perhaps, if you'd name 'em, I'd guess they'd be the Three Amigos?

Good Morning Sweet Annie...
ReplyDeleteOh my I so love the new header with the little green fellow. You always brighten my day. How precious he is.
You flowers are coming to life for sure. I know about the mowing, I too had to mow, edge and completely weed around the property. We are expecting upper 70's through this afternoon and rain later tonight through tomorrow, so look out you all may be getting it next. Sorry for the bad news. I look at it as a free sprinkling.
I have to tell you I loved the green vignette you shared below, it is so beautiful. Ofcourse everything you share is, but I especially loved this one. Thank you sweetie for sharing.
Have a beautiful day. Oh and I almost forgot. 3 Amigos, DEFINITELY. Yes definitely. Love it.
Love ya sweetie...Sherry
Love both these posts! It's great to see Spring arriving and dolphins are always beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Anni, yes, it certainly is Spring! Our brown grass is turning green and Mrs. Jim's rosemary bush has purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have already pulled one set of weeds! That's why I left my snow shovels in Nebraska and New Hampshire.
Happy 6WS! :)

ReplyDeleteLovin' the St. Patricks Day Background!!
ReplyDeleteAnni, Buds in your garden? 70 degrees? I'm coming to your house. lol We won't see buds here for another month. The first will be snowdrops. I need to check to see if they've peeked their noses out of the soil yet, but not today, there's 6 inches of snow.
ReplyDeleteMichelle would love those dolphins. They are her favorite marine animal.
Nice award and you are so deserving. I learned a couple of new things about you. Thank you for passing it on. I will try to get mine up soon.
How wonderful that you brought such cheerfulness to my blog with the delightful St. Patrick's Day banner and background. Thank you once again. I absolutely LOVE it.
Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Mary
Love that Spring is coming your way....it is a little way off for me in the Rocky Mountain West, but IT WILL COME. Congrats on your award.

You're having lovely temps where you are...this week has been quite balmy here as well, temps hovering around freezing so to us that feels like spring as well, but I won't hold my breath...it could be 20 below tomorrow. Great six word! Have a good weekend.
