One of the fun things about moving into a new house is seeing the plants and flowers that pop up and surprise you through the seasons of that first year. I remember when we lived in Memphis. Our yard was lacking, to say the least, and we were so busy working on the inside of the house that the outside didn't get much attention! We moved into the house in June, and throughout the next year, there were never any flowers in the front yard . . . UNTIL . . . the following Spring (April, maybe?). What I thought was just a hedge bush blossomed into a beautiful azalea! I was so happy to see some color in the yard, and it just seemed to make the whole house look better.
Well, I am so excited that our new house has beautiful flowers that have popped up this summer. The front flower bed is filled with these pretty little zinnias . . . yes, these came from MY yard! I can take no credit for them, and I definitely don't have a "green thumb." Even still, I'm enjoying them while they last! I've cut vase after vase after vase, and they just keep coming! I love the bright, bold colors, and I've always enjoyed having fresh flowers in the house.
Speaking of bright and fresh, I'm working on something fresh and fun for Capture Photography right now. That's partially why I've been a little MIA over here lately. But, stay tuned . . . it's coming really soon!
