Excuse me... there's a flower in my salad!

Today I'm sharing a couple of my favorite photos taken this week...

As I mentioned in my last post, things are finally happening in my garden!  Yippee!  I'm even "OK" with seeing a few yellow dandelions showing their faces in my lawn- 

This morning, as I stepped outside to get in my car for work (didn't even have to put it in the garage overnight!), I was welcomed by the scent of budding lilac trees and flowering fruit trees.  The sweetness is (almost) overpowering; and I ran back inside to grap something to cut a few branches with!

First came the cherry blossoms...  they adorned our table this evening... (my two sons -plus one fiancee- joined us for dinner)...

 

I threw together a quick meal, with a big salad using the tomatoes and baby lettuce I purchased at our local Farmer's Market this past weekend...  my sons are famous for wolfing down salads, so "a big salad" is never "big" enough.

 

 

I also cut some branches from another flowering tree... this one has pretty pink blooms.... which went on my mantle in a recently damaged glass container (thanks to my 6-month old puppy)... some candles.. and viola!  instant festivities!

Hello Mercedes,

Stopping by for the first time from Show & Tell. Oh, pretty and delicious looking salad! Your flower photos are lovely too. Our lilacs are all finished now but I took deep breaths as often as possible to enjoy the heavenly fragrance.

Nice to meet you!
Kindly, Lorraine

What beautiful flowers. It always nice to bring the garden indoors. Yummy looking salad, too.
