Here's my birthday dirt! Made me think...we cannot have lovely flowers in our lives without the 'dirt'.
A few minutes later and the flowers were planted, ready for birds and bugs.
My 'grapes' finally bloomed. These are a childhood memory.
Some flowers are NOT welcome, dandelions! I normally don't use chemicals but this year I had to try SOMETHING. Well, spray didn't work, go figure, so the firefighter is trying his method...torch them!
Wishing my fellow bloggers with birthdays a great week ahead with more flowers than dirt. :-)

I've had a lovely catch up read here Parsley. There is always something that makes me take note and think about my life when I come visit with you.
Your flowerbed looks so beautiful and will give such pleasure as the seasons progress and you get the rewards of your labour in the garden.
Actually, that's a moth....
We did some landscaping today. Need to get some permission to plant some flowers (we want roses and such).
Your flower bed looks great, Parsley! Glad you got some birthday dirt! Hmmm...I haven't seen anyone torch dandelions before. Other than charred ground, do you think it worked?
Enjoy the rest of the day!

Yay! You got your dirt and your garden planted! It looks like a lovely place for birds and bugs. I love grape hyacinths too...memories of childhood :D
Oh come on Parsley, quite teasing me please.....planting flowers already, lucky girl, looks heavenly.....I have snow bank still in my flower beds.....Blessings Francine.
That is a beautiful moth...and I usually don't think moths are pretty. But that one is an exception!
And...I love your firefighter's idea of weedeating!! Made me smile.
Spring has sprung at your house...and it is a lovely time of the year.
Hugs,

Parsley you crack us up. You couldn't loan Sage with that blow torch to my sister. There is quite a bit she'd like cindered and some peoples too. Have a super Sunday.
Best wishes Molly

Beautiful flowers! I am not really into gardening, but when I see things in bloom and spring starting to settle in, I wish I was. The blow torch thing is more my scene! BOL! Have a great night!
Hmm... Grilled Dandelion Salad...

Your new flower bed is Beautiful! Great planting:) love Annette
Your flower bed looks lovely! I love that my flowers are coming up, but won't be able to plant any this year. Hopefully they'll transplant okay. And I love your "grapes"!
Been thinking about you lately so had to say hi! We are going to get another snow storm so can't think of planting anything yet! Sigh! Love your pretty garden! Always fun to stop by and visit a bit.
Have a terrific week!
Hugs Anne

Parsley,
I discovered hummingbird moths in my garden a couple of years ago. Great photograph! The peonies will soon be here. :)
Your Friend,

I love them grapes!!
I'v heard that vinegar and water will wilt those dandy's right up. Your garden is going to be gorgeous.
Really nice.
