    oh goodness, that is lovely. I miss seeing so much green. Colorado is such a dry State, no humidity, etc.

    Nativetexan I miss the "green" even when I just visit my relatives in the suburbs. I always get a feeling of relaxation and peace come over me as I reach my semi-rural home area with lots of bushland and green pastures.

    Deecee, those gardens are lovely...I just love a spring garden. Those are the same roses that I have in my yard. They almost look wild.

    All I have now are brown leaves and dying plants...can't wait till spring.

    Susie it won't be long before we hit summer and then I will probably have some of those brown leaves for a different reason.

    Four letter word is right, I have been telling people that for years.
    Deecee, thank you for sharing these lovely pictures. I would love to have some wisteria.
