Spring Fluffing and Azaleas In Bloom

Melissa at The Inspired Room is hosting a "Spring Fluffing"....the way I understand it is anything that reflects spring around your house, indoors or out, is your way of welcoming spring. Go to Melissa's blog and link your blog after you post your pics.


Let the "fluffing" begin!

This is from the back of my garden "gate" by the side of my house

Azaleas in full bloom!
Little flute playing boy (actually it is a sprinkler!) sits beneath a crepe myrtle tree
Garden bench (in need of a fresh coat of paint) nestled among the azaleas

Your azaleas are gorgeous. I've never visited your blog before, but I'm glad that I've found you now. It looks like you have great ideas. Love those plates you did with the rub on transfers. I'll have to come out and look around more! Oh, and I'm a little rooster crazy so I'll have to go see what that rooster parade is all about.

Judy, I hope you enjoyed Matilda's Mouse. I sure do. Your beautiful garden is such a pleasure to see again this morning. I wish I could have a cup of coffee on your bench. I forgot to mention yesterday that your new banner is terrific. Have a great day.

Hi there :)

I keep seeing you on my favorite blogs and I finally had time to click on your name. Beautiful yard! I would love to participate in this, but sadly we don't have any springtime flowers in the yard yet. I'm in Ohio and we just got over having snow about 2 weeks ago. Thank you for giving me a little spring via your blog ;)

Hi, Judy ... Just a note to let you know I enjoyed visiting your blog. Being a southern girl from Mississippi, the name caught my attention and it seems to be very appropriate.

There's nothing more southern than azaleas in full bloom and yours are gorgeous.

I'm new at this blogging thing and would appreciate you checking mine out when you have time. It's called "Southern Lagniappe," and here's the link ... http://southernlagniappe.blogspot.com/

I've put yours in "My Favorite Places" and will come back and visit again soon.

Sincerely,

Janie

Love your garden. Love your gate. Love everything in your garden. Azaleas are my Hubby's favorite flowers. They are close to the top of my list also.

Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday!
Beautiful photos of your azaleas from last spring!

I love the iron gate and all the pinks! I know you are looking forward to them blooming again soon!

Thanks for sharing your photos and participating in Outdoor Wednesday!

Jeanne said...

Judy, your yard and azaleas are just gorgeous. I think your flute boy and your seasons statue is perfect in your yard. It is hard to believe flute boy is a sprinkler. A beautiful place to visit in the middle of winter.

Hugs...Jeanne
