I did spot your cardinal! I get cardinals in my yard too, which I consider visits from heaven. We do need live in the moment and thank our Heavenly Father for the beauty of His gifts. I forgot to mention how pretty your table is! The tulip arrangement is stunning! Enjoy your beautiful garden and God’s gifts. kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018159781509450916.post-12495809962883542992022-04-28T18:01:14.242-05:002022-04-28T18:01:14.242-05:00Bonnie, I thought you were probably traveling agai...Bonnie, I thought you were probably traveling again andI know you enjoyed seeing all the grands. Your foxgloves are stunning and so are your gardens. I have never tried to grow them, our soil is terrible here. I hope your hydrangeas will give you a beautiful show and I have to mention the birdhouse, love that. I am so glad you shared your sweet thoughts, and it is true. Sometimes a moment is God's gift. It's always wonderful to travel and see everyone but it is wonderful returning home. Have a wonderful weekend.

So happy you were able to visit with your family and see the grandchildren doing something they love. Happy spring days to you ~ enjoy them.Sandra at Maison De Jardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032615112624122716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018159781509450916.post-81050365168642669672022-04-28T12:58:22.659-05:002022-04-28T12:58:22.659-05:00Beautiful Bonnie!

I’ve always admired foxgloves but don’t have any as they’re toxic to dogs and I have one in particular that loves to ‘nose around’ the garden. :) Like Rita, your comment resonates with me about not being about to capture fully the beauty. I often comment to my hubby when we have a spectacular sunset that I try to photograph that it just ‘doesn’t translate’. I love the idea that the special moment and beauty was just meant for us. So glad you were able to get away and visit your family. Happy Thursday. ♥Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398643098588491009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018159781509450916.post-44757162164224377242022-04-28T09:08:06.161-05:002022-04-28T09:08:06.161-05:00Beautiful table Bonnie, the tablecloth is fabulous...Beautiful table Bonnie, the tablecloth is fabulous!

Your foxgloves are really amazing. I always plant a few in my garden. Your amaryllis is also beautiful. You are in a zone to grow them outdoors. Too cold in the mountains. They were my Mother’s favorite flowers so I grow them indoors. I understand the joy of a garden and being able to view it from your window is extra special. What a special post with all its beauty. Blessings to you.

Your table is gorgeous -- I love the blue and the wonderful tulips (my favorite color combo). I've never planted foxgloves but I always love it when I see them. I think the gerbera will be lovely. I've never had good luck planting them -- maybe it's my soil (or possible lack of attention!). But I love them and can't wait to see what you do with them. (And love your sitting area!)Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018159781509450916.post-38380014702133248042022-04-28T06:44:36.205-05:002022-04-28T06:44:36.205-05:00Bonnie, your comment of not being able to capture ...Bonnie, your comment of not being able to capture the beauty your eyes see rings so true with me. I love the idea that it is our gift in the moment, just like that cardinal was your gift in the one photo. This is a beautiful setting - your tablescape - and your foxgloves are outstanding. We had high 80s last weekend, right after I had a drift rose transplanted, and it was (unsurprisingly) g shocked . Rain and a return to more normal spring weather has helped in our zone 7a, but it just proves how gardening is full of faithful labor. I know you're happy to be home again. Thanks for sharing your April alfresco setting.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018159781509450916.post-18463848271814682582022-04-28T05:56:32.449-05:002022-04-28T05:56:32.449-05:00Good morning, Bonnie!

When I saw a picture on Instagram of your table, my first thought was how stunning. The Thibaut tablecloth is exquisite in design and color. The dish of tulips plays off the colors in the cloth so beautifully. I love the addition of the darling bird. The foxgloves and amaryllis are gorgeous. Foxgloves definitely make me think of English gardens. Your patio area and garden is a feast for the eyes. This post was a perfect start for my day. Happy Thursday, my friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
