Flowers, Birds, and Weeds. Oh my!

I don't know about you but Spring is my favorite season of the year. All the drab greys, blacks, and browns of winter start to disappear and signs of new life start "springing" up everywhere.

From the first signs of daffodils peeking up through the leaves to the first robin to the warm, bright morning sun, it just adds a little extra "spring" in my step! (okay, enough of "spring"!) Even the song of the pretty, red cardinal singing is exciting to hear. Do you do the same as me and look up and around to try to spot him? Most of the time, it is easy to spot him in the leafless, black tree branches...kind like playing I Spy with the kids!! Sometimes I'll whistle back to him just for fun! Sometimes he answers or at least it seems like he does! I wonder what he's saying and what I'm whistling!!! Isn't it amazing all the sounds birds make and all the vibrant colors they can be?

One thing that does dampen my spirit though is WEEDS! But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A lady once told me she had an out-of-state visitor who loved the bind weed vine and wanted to know where to get it!! Do you reckon a person could make money selling it! I've heard of a guy selling tumble weeds so why not? Hmmm...

Over the last few weeks, I've heard of a lot of people blogging, so I have decided to give it a try! Since I'm starting my cut flower business, Cottage Garden Treasure, up again after working with computer technology over the last 2 years, I thought it would be fun to write about the flowers and other fun treasures found and created from the garden!

This is my first blog and am sure there is lots to learn but I hope to write at least once a week about a fun, new treasure I find out in the garden...maybe even pictures. Let me know what treasures you find in your gardens too! Everyday brings something new, so let's have fun treasure hunting together!
