Unfurling…

“Unfurling”…..is that even a word? Unfurling to me is the awakening of the garden. Look at all I am anticipating this week…makes me giddy to think this time next week – so much should be in bloom and bring color to the garden…Azalea, hosta, allium, fern, iris, columbine, coral bells, peony, hydrangea and red twig dogwoods…..ahhh, loving the awakening of a garden!

Linking up to Cottage Flora Thursday’s #20 (party will be post at 7pm) with this Garden Post. To see where I am linking to this week – please check my “Cottage Links” label…

Oh Tracie..how beautiful! You just are an amazing photographer. BTW, I was going to mention on today's post about your adorable coop and link up to it. It's just that it was big post and I'm so tired with my cold. So I'm going to find your link and add it after a short nap.

I was thinking I might link it to tonight's garden post...since I have so many outdoor photos..especially my little 'garden chickens'. They light up at night which is so funny!

Your garden is just enchanting, Tracie. :o)

Tracie, I hope you don't mind but I borrowed a photo of your coop--so darling!! And told everyone about it..with a link. I added a paragraph near the beginning of the post about people who live in town making coops. :o)

I really do love yours!

I do love seeing things unfurl (yes, i'm sure that's a real word!) Sometimes the buds are prettier than the flowers. Well, almost. And sometimes they do taste better (nasturtiums)

Hi Tracie
Unfurl is a good word and one I've used many times to describe plants as they slowly open to the warmth of spring. I was thinking of this very word today when I looked at a hosta that is ready to unfold its leaves.
We have tulips open now with much more to come too.

Tracie, this is beautiful. I love when plants begin to open up, something that is not visibile in the garden but only up close.

Since I've been hanging out amongst blogs I pay so much more attention to the stages my plants go through. It really is a miracle process.

woops posted my comment on your other post! I love the unfurling look too. Are you on Pacific or Central time? I couldnt stay up to link up last night. Hit the bed at 10:00 p.m. We are looking at our 5th day of rain here. Perfect world would be a light rain during the night and sweet sunshine all day..
