Spring at Our House

I am really enjoying watching everything green up and grow this spring. This is a Sago Palm and it is sprouting out so majestically. Some of them in the neighborhood were burned by the cold this winter but ours sits under the oak tree and I think that saved it.

Can you see where the little fronds are coming out on this fern? This lovely gem was "stolen" from the forest last year by Christie and Michael and given to me as a gift - in the pot and ready to live here. He wasn't as happy last year by the front door. And all winter long he was totally sleeping - nothing green at all - looked dead but Christie told he to keep him watered so I did. This year he is living on the screened porch and seems very happy about it.

This is our jasmine that is going crazy on the front of the house. It has really taken off this year.

You have to remember that I am from California where there really are no seasons. I am enjoying watching things go from nothing to spectacular!
