Sweet Bluebells

As I was cleaning up after dinner last night I was in awe of how much the colors of spring are making their presence known. The grass is more vibrant, the leaves are budding on the trees, and there is some yellow bush across the street at the neighbors that is simply gorgeous. As I was thanking God for all of the beauty, I saw them. 

Bluebells. 

Great-Grandma Perrin used to have bluebells that grew wild. I remember thinking they were the most beautiful flower and I loved their name. 

And now they are growing right outside of the kitchen window. 

Do you have a certain flower you look forward to seeing in the spring, possibly plant or garden? I'm the lady you'll see wandering the outdoor garden sections trying to decide on which flowers to buy for the patio and front door. Hopefully the weather will decide it's spring instead of winter. What happened to the warm temps and sun? 

At least I have bluebells. 

Thanks for reading!
