Spring Flowers – Everywhere – Wide Eyed Wonderings Skip to content Wide Eyed Wonderings Memories and Mysticism with a Wide-Eyed Spoonie Menu Home About Me Intro and Disclaimers Spring Flowers – Everywhere wideeyedwanderingspoonie autobio, Photos, Sunday stills, Weekend coffee share April 29, 2022 1 Minute For Terri’s Sunday Stills – Fabulous Florals. Spring is in the air, and everywhere she is breaking out the sparkle. Little Johnny Jump-ups (Violas) brighten any day. “Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.” ~Rainier Maria Rilke Tiny Lantana begin to burst forth. “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, the whole world would change.” ~Buddha “Feed me Seymour” ~ Audrey – Little Shop of Horrors Spooky pitcher plants lurking in the shadows, waiting for … lunch. “Where flowers bloom, so does hope” ~ Lady Bird Johnson Many varieties of Rhododendron thrill the eye and delight the spirit. “It’s always spring and everyone’s in love and flowers pick themselves.” ~E.E. Cummings Wild Hibiscus, a marvelous nature walk find. Flowers floating to the ground petals falling, make no sound pink snow flying fills the air petals falling everywhere flowers in my hair the scent of spring fills the air. ~JP If we were having coffee this week, I’d tell you April has been a mixed bag of a month. It started with a mad dash to South Dakota that was more exhausting than exciting. Then to a nasty virus (not COVID) that led to a Sarcie Flare, which led to a 14-day round of steroid therapy, which led to visits with my pulmo and cardio doctors, and is now ending with me wearing a heart monitor (don’t worry, it’s nothing serious). So maybe it hasn’t been quite the fun month I was hoping for but I got lots of yard work done and the front and back areas are beginning to come together. Come Spring and Welcome. Til next time ~ Stay Trippy Hippies ~JP Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

Those pitcher plants are so cool (my mom raised many of those carnivorous plants back in the day)! What a lovely poem…I can see the petals falling and flying from here!

I love carnivorous plants for their otherworldly beauty and also their inherent “creepy” factor. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply Marsha says: April 29, 2022 at 5:43 pm Your pictures are fabulous.

We are just coming off snow storms. I am hoping that something in my tiny flower garden will have survived. Good on the yard work! We have a lot of bare spots, but my husband bought some grass seed that is supposed to be shade tolerant and we got it spread out before the rain started again. Best wishes for your week! — Liz LikeLiked by 1 person Reply wideeyedwanderingspoonie says: April 30, 2022 at 1:57 pm Thank you Liz.
