My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Hello my Darling!

Here she is!
She made her first debut yesterday!
Hello my darling rose,
welcome.
In her lovelines,
gorgeous pale pink color
and sweet smelling
way,
she has opened up.
But she's a little shy,
she was tucked
in between the leaves
and buds
who are still hiding.
I've waited for you all
winter long.
The meter reader person may
not like having to
move my rose bush in order
to read,
oh well, he just better
not hurt her!

Spring Brings a Smile

April was such a cold and rainy
month,
bone chilling some days with a
couple of
80 degree days.
But May has turned out to be a
GORGEOUS
month so far and everything is
either in bloom
or ready to explode
bleeding heart almost done
but so beautiful!
columbine in bloom now, love the colors
clematis in full bloom
you see my rose bush?
It's massive and loaded,
can't wait until they open
and smell the air
I can't believe how quicly this rose
bush has grown, it has
pale pink small roses,
it too is loaded with buds!
Tulips are just about done, but
right now I have tulips that are
about 3 feet tall and pink
in bloom,
they're from Holland,
my one brother-in-law
brought those back for me
they are my pride and joy!
I'll need to post those next time!
I take a walk almost
everyday around my yard
looking at the progress of
my flowers!
Love this time of year!
Hope you are too!
(although right now I'm dealing with
horrible allergies, the worst ever
and evidently I'm not the only one,
I guess you have to suffer to enjoy the
beauty that surrounds you)
