Its time for ...Verbena.... wild Verbena...and you can smell it long before you see it... When i'm trimming the yard in the Spring i always leave it... i can't help myself... The purple is much more vibrant than my photos... they are rather sun washed out... I don't plant it... it comes up on its own.. Some years i have more than other years... but its always welcome and says 'Spring' to me... I had the eldest GrandLittle spend the night with us last night... So i'm busy digging myself out from that... Doing up the breakfast pancake dishes, putting the blow up air mattress away... We had fun playing outside in the dark with flash lights and glow in the dark golfballs... then a late night watching 'Hotel Transylvania' Grandpa made his famous and quickly devoured pancakes in the morning... The little snail slithered out my pencil just the other day... I'm going to leave him black and white.. just like the owl and then use copies of them for all kinds of coloring options... :) Lots of fires going on here in TX... a few up near our beloved Fredericksburg... ! Be safe and have a fabulous week! Hugs! deb
Your verbena looks so beautiful, the pale colour looks is so pretty and delicate 😊. So lovely to spend time with your grandkids, it sounds like you had a blast ❤️. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that Verbena is related to Lemon Verbena...which makes a lovely drink with or without ginger
ReplyDeleteThe Verbena is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had one of the grand girls overnight! What fun! And you could draw an entire colorbook for those girls. That snail is really cute!
