Blogger ramblings: Spring has sprung…

This has been a week of very little reading but a lot of spring cleaning and yard work.

My allergies are horrible but the results are worth it when I can see everything in bloom and watch the butterflies enjoying the new flowers!

Tomorrow I start cracking down on the whole reading/reviewing thing. I don’t request many books but I’m falling behind anyway.

    I'm right there with you -- both the sniffling/sneezing/miserableness of allergies and the beauty of my garden blooming and warm weather!

    I know! Netgalley is such a tease! I can request any book? For free? All I have to do it review it? And I love writing book reviews? UGH! Could it get any better? But just like you I'm a bit behind, and April is the month of catching up for me!

    Love all those pics! I'm still waiting for growing season. We just had a snow and could be up for more... so the later spring flowers will have to wait. :) Thanks for sharing though!

      It's a native FL azalea. I've had that plant for over 4 years and thought it was dead so I was excited to see it finally bloom!

    Pretty, pretty, pretty! We haven't gotten much spring here yet but I'm so excited for it! Not so much the allergies though. That's always the worst part. :/
