View from my hotel room in Manassas, VA
Wow, it’s the last day of February! Where did that month go? Of course, it’s the shortest of the year, but still. I’ve been in VA the last week for a meeting, you might have noticed the lack of posts. I gave my first presentation which required a lot of preparation and I wasn’t able to spend much time on my blog. But, I have a backlog of pictures and posts that will go out in the next few days. And, I am tired of restaurant food and craving vegetables and salads. I will be spending mucho time in my kitchen.
With apologies to those of you in the midst of winter (especially my friends in the Boston area), I came home to spring. And it is all the more appreciated by the contrast. Here is a quick snapshot.
More snow today, just before the trip home to CA
California here I come!
Tulip Magnolia in the back yard is almost finished and starting to leaf out.
Jasmine is scenting the air
Roses are leafing out
Buds on my potted fig tree
It’s good to be home.
What a great post! Your tulip magnolia and jasmine pictures have me hoping that spring will be around the corner here in the mid-Atlantic states. But alas, there’s a few more weeks left. I love gardening too, and have assigned a special category on my blog for it. Can’t wait for the spring though to actually take my camera out and capture some colors 🙂
Thank you Loretta, you take the most beautiful pictures. Both your gardens (the “old” one and the new) are gorgeous. Spring will be here soon but your region of the country has had a hard time of it this winter.
Oh thanks so much Liz, by blogging I’ve really got into photography and food styling. Outdoor pictures are a breeze, it’s the inside ones that need perfection. Thanks for your compliments, I’m no Master Gardener, but I try 🙂
