Hi friends! Happy April!
I hope your March was a lovely one!
I spent a good part of mine seeking out signs of spring. 🌷
Both in my hometown – at one of my favorite gardens. 🪻
And on a recent trip to Savannah, Georgia. ⛲️
What fun did you have in March?

I am so very excited for this lovely month!
I’ve got a lot to look forward to!
The flowers look so pretty! What a lovely day.
Exciting month ahead!
They were in bloom all month – I went out every weekend to see them. I loved it so much!
you have tulips and azaleas already? You are further south than I am! I am just seeing cherry blossoms, daffodils, forsythia and crocuses.
Yes! They started in early March – some years, when we’ve had a milder winter – I’ve seen them start in February! I think the warm weather is finally here to stay though – hope you enjoy the flowers when they bloom near you!
Beautiful photos, as always. We, too, are not yet seeing tulips but daffodils and now crocuses are blooming. Still some very cold temperatures at times. Dogwood trees are blooming and forsythia bushes, also.
I bet it is just around the corner! Hope the weather stays warm for you to enjoy it!
What gorgeous flowers! I don’t know the official name but I have a huge bride’s veil bush in my garden which is a mass of flowers at the moment. My Mum transplanted it from her garden when they moved and it originally came from my Gran’s garden. I’m so looking forward to your posts this month.
ooh! That sounds like it is so lovely to see when it is flowering! I’ll have to look it up!
Lovely! We have flowers, trees budding , the beginning green grass…and lots of sneezing. Completely worth it.
Haha! Yes, the price we pay for beauty in nature – our cars, outdoor furniture – and indoor furniture if you are opening your windows – all have green pollen film on it, crazy!
These flowers are so beautiful and colorful
Aren’t they! I never got tired of seeing them…or taking pictures of them!
Wonderful! Love the flowers!
Thank you! I’m happy to share them with you!
Lovely photos, Meredith – the one of you sitting on that beautiful bench, book in hand, was so Austenesque! Glad you’re enjoying spring and those amazing gardens – I’m inspired to do some local searching!
Ahhhh! I love that you said that. I will admit that when I walk around with a book in hand there that I like to imagine I am an Austen heroine staying at an estate. What a life…
Hope you find some gardens to visit near you!
Hi Meredith!
Gorgeous flowers! I love tulips
I hope April gives us a sunny weather, I don’t mean hot of course, but some gentle sunshine because I’m fed up of raining. The best thing of raining so much, however, is that I’ve spent a lot time reading índoles and, having an austenesque novel, you don’t miss anything
I love your April Agenda, you have a great deal of intetesting novels and I’m looking forward to reading your opinions. I like the cover of “Miss Elizabeth’s charms”, it seems a fantasy variation, doesn’t it?
A big hug and keep enjoying flowers!
I meant “indoors ” not “indoles”
Hi Teresa! I love them too – their colors are unmatched! Oh I hope the rain goes away for you soon – it sounds like you’ve had more than your fair share!
Although I do agree, a good rainy day helps you accomplish some cozy reading!
And yes! Isn’t that a pretty cover – I’m excited for to mix in a little fantasy reading this month.
Love the photos!
Thank you, Denise!
Gorgeous blooms you found on your hunt for signs of Spring.
Fun lineup of books and authors.
Have a great April, Meredith!
Thank you, sweet friend! I hope you have a happy April too!
What a magical garden! Have a lovely April, Meredith, and thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos with us.
Thank you, dear friend! So lovely to hear from you. I hope you get to enjoy some signs of spring in your neck of the woods! I bet the daffodils are in bloom at Pemberley!
