Very interesting pictures. Do you really have bushes with figs? To me that is so very exotic; in Europe figs only grow around the Mediterranean;) I love green colour as it symbolizes nature and plants.;) Hope you are having a lovely green Thursday.;))
Protege, the figs bushes\ are growing on the yard where my youngest son lives. We had figs growing in the yard of my childhood home too. The bush grew up out of the spot where coal had been dumped for years for the coal burning furnace in the house. After one winter of feeding the furnace my parents had central heating installed. Sometime after that the fig bush sprung up. It produced lots and lots of figs for many years. Occasionally it still has a pretty good year. I have to admit I have never been a big fan of them.
Debby, yes it is really that green here. All of these pictures were taken over the course of the last week. The azaleas are almost finished blooming, the daffodils are long gone, the snowdrops have been blooming a while. The widowswort, trillum, and irises have just started. The weeds are growing too. My yard needs a lot of work.
Green is my favorite color, I never tire of it. Love that moss, the succulents and that sleek, black kitty! I wish you could see the new leaves on our Japanese maple, right now they are such a vibrant lime green. Gorgeous!
My first visit to your blog and what a lovely blog you have. I live in the Mobile area and it is nice to find another Alabamian. Love your photos. You have a sweet little baby.
Hey, Stevie. We have had rain, rain and then more rain. We need it, but where is the sun? The cat is beautiful. I saw the Domino magazine for March in the Barnes and Nobles today. How did you find out about Home Companion?
I want a fig bush in my yard! And...we used to have a cat that looked exactly like that one! I had to have The Mister come over and take a look. Awww! :)
That cat's a beauty! Your plants are well ahead of anything in my yard. We're only seeing a few buds on the trees and some waxy tulip points are peeking through the compost. Ah! I see you've dragged out your Nancy Drews. I gave all mine to my best friend's daughter a few years ago. What's your favourite one?
I have a fig tree growing in a big flower pot in my back yard -- we kept it in the garage over the winter to protect it. We get about 100 figs by the end of the summer and savor each and every one.

Is it really, truly that green where you are? I feel myself turning green with envy.

Great pictures Stevie, especially those green eyes.
ReplyDeleteWow. Spring has sprung!
ReplyDeleteI adore moss.

ReplyDeleteMoss on the railroad ties? Do the trains not go on them?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful azalea blooms.
Love that pretty black kitty.
Hi Stevie!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that cat is beautiful, and those eyes----my, oh, my!
Second, I hope my new yard can be as beautiful as yours. I am 'green' with envy! :)

Lovely shots. I'm envious of your advanced spring.. but not of the green-eyed cat. I've got me a couple of those. ;)

Hey! I had a couple of Trixie Beldens and even a Cherry Ames! Did you ever read Phyllis Whitney?
