Yoo hooooo... Where are you???

For weeks now the hummingbird feeders have been filled and hung, just waiting for the arrival of our garden's tiniest visitors.


One hangs from the oak tree right next to our deck.


Another hangs in the backyard patio.


A third hangs in the corner of our backyard from a mulberry tree branch.


And yet another hangs from the Hoppa Crab tree in the front yard. The Adirondack chairs we bought last year provide the perfect viewing area!
We're ready.... where are you????
Update: Shortly after posting this, we had our first two hummers! A male and a female, just minutes apart! Think they read my post and felt bad for me?

Spring has sprung!

Spring is finally in full bloom here in New England!


And after the LONG winter we just went through, we are welcoming it with open arms!


Here in the backyard the white bleeding hearts are in bloom....


... as are the red & white columbine.


I hope the hummingbirds arrive before they stop blooming!


We have so much work to do in our little backyard area. This past weekend we got all the furniture out and set up the patio. Then I put a little picket fence around the perennials we planted last year. Within the next week or two we will be getting a load of bark mulch to spread around.


I got up into the girls' old treehouse to take this photo of the front yard. The hoppa crab tree was in full bloom when I took this photo last week.


Let's go through the gate and see what's in bloom out front...


A closeup of the apple blossoms...

And one of my favorite plants, my pink bleeding heart.


Once this little plant pops through the ground in the spring, it grows leaps and bounds...

It's going to be so much fun watching all the perennials come into bloom over the next few months! I think I'll be planting one of these in the backyard as well.. I just love them!
Please visit Cindy at My Romantic Home to see the incredible roses from her garden, and to find a list of everybody else participating in Show & Tell Friday!
I hope you are all enjoying beautiful weather wherever you are!
