Dreamflower's Mathom-house

I decided to take these pictures today, since our Capitol pear is in full bloom. The sky is overcast, and even though the temp is in the low 60s, the wind is awful, and between the humidity and the wind chill, it feels like 40s.




This is the little tiny garden bed at the corner between the sidewalk and the driveway. As you can see, the hyacinths are in bloom, the tulips are coming up, as are the chrysanthemums. The little johnny-jump-ups on the lefthand side I bought at the nursery a couple of days ago.
My butterfly stepping stone needs to be washed off.



Another angle of the same bed. The angel is a solar light, and looks very pretty at night.

This week we finally got our new carpet laid. In addition to the carpet, we had tile laid by the front door to create a sort of entry, and we had the hearth of our fireplace tiled.

There are also some pics of my desk, and of a couple of new wreaths I made.

Taken from several people on my flist:

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.




The rose-bush by my front porch. Picture taken spring 2007. It was damaged when we got the new roof, but it seems to be coming back now. I do think we'll have them again this spring.

Here be some picspam of my yard:

Spring is here. My rosebush has bloomed--there are those who know what that means to me! Thank you!

And here's a little something I wrote. Not LotR, no hobbits:
