A Spring Outing ~
Category: Zuzu's Bloomin' Blog | Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 5:53 am Today's weather couldn't have been better, the weatherman predicted perfection, and that's just what we got. 
The temperature hovered around 80°F and the sky was like crystal, so I couldn't resist spending the day out, and for once, I remembered to take the camera along. 
The Star Magnolias are blooming 
and the Tulip Magnolias, too. 
Everywhere I went, the landscape was splashed with color, Forsythia and Quince 
drifts of Daffodils and precious little grape Hyacinths  
and, of course, my favorites, the Camellias, are still blooming their ever-lovin' hearts out. 
 How can you not love a shrub that gives such a profusion of
lush, rose-like flowers so early in the season, and continues for months on end? I was fascinated by some of the older homes that I saw while I was out today, too. Some of them were a bit ramshackle but still quite charming, in their own way, I think. 
 
This one has had a recent make-over. 
There is so much new construction around this area, it really warms my heart when someone rescues one of these old gals. The fine weather isn't going to last, a cold front is headed my way and it may get pretty stormy when it arrives, but that's okay, I made the most of today, 
and all those lovely flowers need the rain. You should have stopped by earlier, we opened a really nice Beaujolais,  and enjoyed it out on the patio.

Beautiful pics ZUZU I Love old houses they never lose their dignity even in disrepair. All of the joy tears and Live they have witnessed show through. Thanks for posting my friend.
Great pictures once again! I just can't get enough of those Camillias. Sounds like you had a perfect day Zuzu. I love it when an old house gets rescued. They don't make them like that anymore.
Sorry I missed the Beaujolais Zuzu but at least I got to enjoy your fantastic photos.
My magnalias and camelias haven't flowered yet so I get to see yours now and look forward to mine!!!
Very nice pictures. I also like old houses and live in one. There seems to be a dignity to an old house that is somehow missed even in the most elaborate of the new mansions. Login or register to leave a comment. |
