Last week we had snow, and this week we have pansies! The weather has been so unseasonably warm that I just can't help being outside! Spending hours in the garden each day, trying to get all the beds ready for spring - these flowers are the first to be planted this year. Last year, our red lab puppy bit the heads off of many, many flowers in the beds. Now, a year old, I am hoping he will be less interested in my precious blooms. So, I have planted six small plants to "test the waters", and I have memorialized them in paint, in the event they meet an untimely demise! Painting number 803 in 803 days :)
Beautiful pansies! Hopefully winter is soon a memory. Ready for these flowers!
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting! Hoping it won't be too long before I can plant some flowers...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Pansies Tammie...I would pick those same ones for my plant pots too. My dogs used to sit in the planters right after I planted them...and they were over a year old too... You could hear me banging on the window and they'd look at me with dismay... silly animals...they were little white dogs too... You know that always meant a bath afterwards!! Only when they were first planted though...then they didn't seem to bother...it was the males mostly!! Gorgeous painting!!

Beautiful pansies - they are the first to hang around through the rough weather and keep us smiling until the other flowers can take over. Hard workers - speaking of which you with 803 in 803 days - holy cow, that has to be some sort of record. Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteThese are exquisite, so beautifully arranged and painted.

Beautiful pansies. A touch of spring in my autumn season :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, I have to say that is hilarious (but a little sad) that your puppy bit the heads of lots of flowers. You'll have to know how he does this year! Beautiful pansies, such vibrant color!
