For Manic Monday this week the magnificent Morgen sent us in search of "bud". I'm going to assume that he didn't mean the beer (beer - yech!) so instead I took my camera in hand and explored around the house for a few good buds ...
These are budding morning glory seeds that I'm going to be planting in various flowerpots on my front porch as soon as they get bigger and the weather gets better. There is a combination of red, white, and blue flowers in there, though you'd never know it now!
Some sort of budding plant in the front area of my house!
I have no earthly clue what kind of plant this is but whatever it is, it's budding nicely in the front yard and I'll be quite interested to see what exactly it is!
Daffodil buds on the side of the house - these bloom in a really pretty shade of peach.
More daffodil buds - these are your standard yellow daffs!
And, of course, this is my budding artist as she waits for the train to take her down to New Jersey!To see what else might be budding in the blogosphere, be sure to check out my good buddy Morgen's Manic Monday post at It's a Blog Eat Blog World!
And will you show us pictures of these buds when they bloom into wonderful flowers?
ReplyDeleteHappy MM!
Ah you should have been looking for you Buddies instead. then you could of filled a whole post just going 'Hey Buuuuud-dy'
ReplyDeleteThe early stages of life's cycle, and our expectations.
ReplyDeleteSpring is a wonderful time.
Maybe you should try some English beer - might change your mind :-)
You should have a very beautiful yard in a short while. Happy MM.
ReplyDeleteWhoof!! Little buds will become nice flowers.
ReplyDeleteWow ! you found a lot of buds !! I raked my brain to find something else than a flower, lol !
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Daffodils, the budding artist is the most beautiful flower in your garden.
ReplyDeleteYou will be enjoying those blossoms in another two weeks. Be patient!
ReplyDeleteI like the photo of your "bud," your teen-aged sidekick!
Great example for buds!
ReplyDeleteBy the way... thank you for your work in emergency services!
All great buds. Have a fabulous MM Linda. :)
ReplyDeleteYou found plenty of examples there Linda :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your buds are blooming.
ReplyDeleteThey look nice.
Are you behaving yourself while Amanda is gone? I'll bet you have lots of "budding" projects to do.
Bwaaahaaahaa
....and blog posts to write and bon bons to eat....and late nights with the computer all to yourself!....and then you'll start missing Amanda and call her 3x a day. Right?
ReplyDeleteThe mother thing never ends, does it? And you're a great one.
The new life pushing up through the earth is tops and the #1 reason I love spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos, it's good for everyone to remember that every living thing starts as a seed.
I can't wait to see what the buds become...both the flowers and your budding artist! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way...THANK YOU for all you do, Ms Dispatcher!!!
First thing of thought of was beer. I guess it's because I can't drink any alcoholic beverages any more. It's not that I drank a lot before but I do miss having a drink now and then.
ReplyDeleteSome beer tastes good and it goes so well with certain foods. I'd love to have a beer with chili for example.
Now your "buds" were more of the kind that people were expecting. And they are beautiful, especially your daughter!
so, this bud's for me? or is it you?
ReplyDeletesorry, couldn't resist.
Great "buds" pix, Linda! Happy MM! Even though I'm a little late!
ReplyDeleteI love it that your budding artiste is among your other beautiful buds!
ReplyDeleteLove ya, buddy!
♥
Lots and lots of buds! Don't you just adore spring???
ReplyDelete~~~Blessings~~~
Well, my favorite was your Budding artist!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your mug post, too. I may have to do a post on that subject as well. When I moved to Georgia a few years ago, I gave away about 100 out of my collection. Not to worry, I have still enough should 25 people drop by for coffee.
I didn't know you had a green thumb! Lovely buds, Linda. Can't wait to see them after they're open.
