Warmer weather… Sunshine and No Jackets! That’s what makes me smile! Hello All!
Hope all of you are doing well. March was a strange weather month here in the desert. It was much colder then usual and the sun hid a bit more then it should. However, March is going out like a lamb. The temperatures are now perfect! The flowers and cacti are blooming, the sun is shining and our Arizona blue skies are showing off. That just makes me and pretty much everyone one else around here in the Valley of the Sun …Happy Campers! Springtime here in the desert is our most favorite time to be here.
With Spring comes cactus blooms.
We seem to be lingering a bit longer in our gardens.
Along with this color… I had to add some Easter color to the back patio.
And the She Shed got some Easter Love as well!
With warm weather comes special friends for a visit. We spent the day in Jerome, Arizona. Always a fun place to visit.
I squealed with delight when I saw some Forsythia in bloom! We don’t have it down in the Valley. When I saw it …I wondered if the Forsythia at the LakeHouse was blooming yet?
A trip to Jerome would never be complete without seeing the Glass Blower. Do you remember my Wine Goblets that we purchased from him? Click here to see the post about my Wine Goblets and the Jerome Glass Blower.
It was great watching Tracy Weisel show us his art!
After a fun filled day we returned home and it was pretty wonderful to see more roses blooming.
And if it can’t get any better…
Look at what else is blooming again!
We are feeling quite blessed to be living here in our Arizona Paradise! Thank you for visiting and taking the time out of your day to follow along. And wishing all of you beautiful days in your Paradise!
It’s so beautiful out there. I’d love to spend more time there, hoping someday!
Hope you can return to Arizona one day! Spring in the desert is always so pretty!
Happy Tuesday and thank you for the visit!
Well, it sure is a gorgeous day in your neighborhood with all those blooms and lovely interior decorations. The plate with the wagon, geraniums and rabbits is my absolute favorite. Enjoy your gorgeous weather and blooms.
It’s is a gorgeous day in the neighborhood. Spring in the Desert is always quite lovely.
I’m glad you stopped in for a visit.
Have a wonderful Easter my friend.
You had a beautiful week out there, Nance. Hey, I had a few days over here where I shed my light jacket for a short lunchtime walk! In March in Central New York!
No jackets in New York? Yay, yay, yay!
Enjoy those no jacket days Mr. Mark!
Nancy, your garden has so many pretty blooms! Your porch and she shed looks so lovely with your beautiful spring vignettes. Wishing you a most blessed week, sweet friend!
Good morning Shannon! I am so happy you saw the gardens! Spring in the desert is always a delight.
Happy Tuesday and have a beautiful Easter my dear friend.
What a feast of colour for the eyes and soul! Beautiful flowers and the glass blown goblets are gorgeous…still waiting for our spring up North.
I promise it is coming! It’s always so good to hear from you. Stay safe my friend! Enjoy your week.
Nice weather and beautiful blooms! Love it! Have a wonderful week!
Thank you my friend! Enjoy your week!
Our time in Jerome [https://wp.me/p4uPk8-2Bt] was much too short, but we enjoyed it nevertheless.
I’m so glad you got to see this unique town. Hope you get to again. Have a great week my friend.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I Was Too Late to Buy the “House of Joy”. It had just been sold.
Your little oasis is looking more like a little slice of heaven, Nancy. I was thinking of you the other day, wondering what type of easter decorations were being laid out 🥰🐰🐣
Not as many decorations as in the past. Easter snuck up on me!
I’m so glad you thought of me… and am so glad you popped over for a visit.
Enjoy the rest of your week my friend.
You too Nancy 🙂
Nancy, spring is looking fabulous at your beautiful home and garden. Love all the stunning blooms. The she shed looks like the perfect place for a cupcake and to sit in your garden would be delightful. I remember visiting Jerome when we were in Arizona, it was most I terest8ng!
That should be interesting 😂
Hello Dear Pam!
Yes… Jerome is quite the unique destination. It’s why I like it so much!
I think of you often when I make a tablescape or sit in my gardens.
Thank you for the visit… have a lovely week my friend!
This is all fantastic, Nancy. Love all the blooms — so pretty. Your desert is definitely in spring mode! But so is your home. Wild about your pretty Easter basket and all the holiday touches. I was in Jerome years ago — I have a cookbook from there!
Good afternoon! So glad to hear that you have been to Jerome. It’s in the mountains and we live in the valley …so when we go there it’s fun to see the different kinds of vegetation.
Thank you for the visit! Have a wonderful Easter my friend!
I don’t think I could say beautiful enough with this post and those wine glasses are gorgeous.
Good morning Diane… thank you for your lovely words. We love our gardens. Happy Easter to you!
Thank you Nancy, have a Happy Easter too!
Gorgeous yard, Nancy! Love all your flowers. We have little to no blooms here in the Mojave Desert. We have been so dry this winter. The desert still looks dead. It’s so sad. But your cactus are beautiful!
We have had few wildflowers here in the Sonoran desert. Very dry indeed. But the cacti are perking up with their blooms.
Thank you for your lovely words my friend. Have a beautiful week!
I love cactus flowers. They are so pretty. I really enjoyed seeing your Easter bunny statue. Cute!
I’m glad you enjoyed the flowers and the bunny, Chris. Thank you for the visit my friend. Wishing you a lovely week.
Fantastic!
You are Damm Lucky!
Thank you… we are truly blessed and filled with gratitude.
Beautiful photo
Thank you so much.
My pleasure 😊
Such a happy post. Love seeing all the vibrant shades of spring in the desert. We saw our first tiny purple crocus bloom this week. We also saw some
Snow today but there’s hope!
Spring is Coming Sweet Sue!
I am glad you enjoyed the colors of the desert.
Happy week to you my friend.
I love when you post pics of flowering cacti Nancy, my favorite! You have so many cool places to explore on day trips, and I remember drooling over your hand blown goblets when you shared them before. Seeing the bright yellow blooms of forsythia always brings a smile to my face because they are one of the first signs that Spring is here! Your Easter decor looks really cute…I’m trying to decide if I should put mine away today or leave the bunnies out for a while…Have a great week!
Jenna
Good Morning Jenna! We love cacti flowers too. They amaze us with their stunning blooms!
Happy Week to you!
Love these cactus flowers, they are beautiful and colorful under the sun!
Thanks so much Amy!

Thank you Becky! Clare is such a dear. I always enjoy her squares of beauty!
Have a lovely Tuesday!
And you 🥰
