“Spring drew on . . . and a greenness grew over those brown garden beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
The snow around my daffodils has left, and despite the drab of brown leaves on the ground in my woodland gardens, the daffodils, tulips, crocus and grape hyacinth have thrived……
The brown all around gives way to flowers and grass and trees blooming……
Dried hydrangea flower…..
I love the papery texture of the dried Hydrangea flower …….
The newly emerging buds of a potted hydrangea, swelling and forging ahead despite the March cold and snow, reminding us that spring and gardening teach lessons in hope…….
Sedum Seed heads…..
Hickory leaves are the last leaves to fall, waiting until early spring…..
April Has arrived! Thank you for visiting today. charisse
