A warm weekend, lots of sunshine and not much rain. I had to water the flower beds for the first time this year. The mid spring blooming flowers have really made leaps and bounds with the warmer weather. My birth month and also favorite flowers, Lilies of the Valley(Convolaria Majalis) is in it's prime. Of course it is still April but here in Georgia everything blooms a little earlier.

This weekend was devoted to catching up on laundry and also gardening. I did not do much cooking but did make a Lemon Tart for our "group effort" Sunday dinner. It was a good choice of dessert to make since I had all the ingredients on hand.
I also got some housecleaning done and moved some plants out to the nursery area. It feels good to "refresh" the house with new arrangements of houseplants for Spring. The summer annuals also got an early planting. I am hoping this mild weather will stay for a while. I am glad freezing weather is over but not looking forward to summer heat and humidity.

All around our neighborhood, the azaleas are blooming nicely. I tend to favor white and green flowers for their peacefulness but the pink Azaleas by the lake near our house just grab my attention this time of the year.
