We visited Ironstone Vineyard.
It was my birthday so my husband
gave me a few thousand tulips.
Too many to bring home.
We thought it best to leave them there.
Isn't this a beautiful ranunculus?
These are my favorites.
While we were there,
someone was here pushing dirt around.
You can kind of see where
the house will be.
Our livingroom will look out at the trees.
I see up lighting in their future.
It's a start.
Right?
In the meantime,
it's our own private campground.
The Scamp and the Aloha
have taken their places again.
I'll post pictures of the circled wagons soon.
Just Beautiful-All of it. Even the dirt!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
The tulips are gorgeous...and the site for the house is just perfect. You're going to have such a beautiful view. I love the uplighting idea. My kids have a huge stand of live oaks that are uplit (in the front yard of their house that's for sale), and they're breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tulips - and how kind of them to be in bloom for your birthday!
ReplyDeletePretty cool about all the "re-situated dirt" - I need to see that property again...
Oh those tulips are soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Nothing like a glass of wine and a few thousand gorgeous flowers to say Happy Birthday! You've got a beautiful piece of property there, sister!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated b-day! The flowers are beautiful, it won't be long before you are planting them on your piece of land :-)
ReplyDeleteAh.... Ironstone. I have never been there in the Spring. This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.
Enjoy the transformation of your land. What a treat! This is beautiful country to build in... just watch out for Rattlers. When you start moving the earth around they don't like it. We had some huge Rattlesnakes here when we were building our house and for years after. Just keep an eye out and be safe.
