Lovely, Vicki. Like Mel, I particularly love the bloodroot and redbud. When we lived in Boone, the field next to us was slated to be plowed for Christmas tree planting. So I rescued about thirty bloodroot plants that grew in the field next to the treeline and planted them on our property. When we moved here, one of those bloodroots moved with us. I love both the flower and those wonderful leaves.
I am clueless as to why comments are disable on the dying tulip post -- it says it was done buy a blog administrator -- and here I'd thought that was me. Will try to get it sorted out.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Full Circle Farm Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
Currently I have just completed a historical novel, dealing with a massacre in my county during the Civil War.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for nearly nine years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.

Beautiful!
Simply beautiful!
Doesn't it seem like the colors are more brilliant this year?
The most miraculous thing here. Along I 75 south of Lexington there is a 'field' of wild bradford pears. Busy birds? Just beautiful.
I have to agree with Thérèse, simply beautiful.
Beautiful! I love the bloodroot and redbud! Thanks for sharing your Spring with us - ours has sprung early this year, it is delightful.
smiles...lovely...thanks for giving us a little glimpse of yours...have been out in it much this week...near 80 here every day...

The trillium is fascinating to me. I don't think we have those over here. Just love the Spring, don't you!!
My favorite is your bloodroot -- an old Indian plant. -- barbara
Our Redbuds are gorgeous like yours this year. What a wonderful spring.
And the violets are so big this year. They were blooming at Christmas so I thought they'd be puny when their time came. Gorgeous spring.
P.S Comments not accepted for the tulip dying in beauty...
Just gorgeous! You are way ahead, beautiful.
Do you know that comments have been disabled on your newest post? was it intentionable? (is that a word?!!!)
I was going to say...
How sad?
