we've been way up in central ny on a wild sheep's chase
now we've settled in with my folks to have easter dinner. above are some snaps of a centerpiece i just made from my mom's garden. her magnolia has just bloomed. we spent the day planting some new things; foam flower, heucheras, epimediums - all deer resistant, shade loving perennials; bless them. the ponds along our familiar hiking routes are thawed and the sweet perfume of these magnolia blossoms in the house is loosing battle to the smell of a certain wet dog who has been lurking about hoping for lamb scraps.
it's nice to take a break from the city
i type this to you painfully on my father's PC

the magnolia flowers are amazing! Have a nice holiday.
Is that a clematis vine tucked in there with those gorgeous magnolia? My clematis is growing in leaps and bounds, but it will still be a while before it blooms.
I'm glad you got some fresh air this weekend.
Your post made me think of my nana. She LOVED lamb on Easter. She used to eat it with mint jelly. When I was a kid she would always make me peanut butter & mint jelly sandwiches...:)
what perfect flowers for easter..! is there a trick to having magnolias last as cut flowers ?
That last photo is perfection. You're getting so good at this!
I hope you had a nice, relaxing Easter. And that Nea got some lamb.
magnolias are soooo lovely. we have one right beside our house. :)

Another perfect flower for the day.
