~~ Wonderful Monday ~~

Today was lovely and I think I had a touch of Spring fever. This morning Carl went over to the river to fish and later in the morning Lily and I took a ride over to see how he was doing. Isn't the river pretty and so peaceful...there was just a slight breeze and you could hear all the little birds chattering, I even heard a dove cooing. I saw a sea lion playing in the water and earlier there had been ducks and a turtle swim by.....I wish I had seen them, oh well maybe next time. Now about the fishing.................. No luck.....just lots and lots of nibbles and a wonderful relaxing morning. My hubby loves to fish and he has a great time whether he catches anything or not. While he was fishing Lily and I walked along the levee...it was heaven, beautiful trees, lots of wild flowers the rustle of a light breeze through the trees and little birds singing and talking to each other. It's hard to believe just about a mile away is the hustle and bustle of the city. Carl and I had some delicious coffee ( why does everything taste so good when you are outdoors) and after about an hour Lily and I headed home. Lily promptly took a nap and I puttered in the yard, pulling a few weeds and doing a little trimming...........
I love the color of this Azalea....this is a huge bush in the front yard and sometimes I'll cut some of the blooms for the house. This is Mr. Lincoln. The petals remind me of red velvet and the fragrance is just beautiful so yummy....
I love Camellias. This bush is quite large and filled with blooms. While the Camellias are in bloom you'll always find them in my home . I love to bring the outdoors inside...I love and enjoy nature.

Until we talk again, listen for the birdies and enjoy Mother Nature... she is amazing. Hugs, Linda
