Garden Flowers and a Road Trip

Hi Everyone!   Spring is here and it has been rather chilly and rainy, but I have to tell you that the flowers are just Loving it!  I wanted to share a couple pics of the buckets and perennials that I have planted here at The Blackberry Briar. There will be more to come.    Above is a lovely basket that my daughter and I put together.  She has such a great eye for color already. 

I just LOVE my pinks.  THey are a wonderful splash of color in the early spring and bloom for quite a while.  This is the pink variety and I have Red ones to show you soon!

These Blue Phlox are near and dear to my heart.  My daughter and I planted seeds in the gardens 4 years ago and her package spilled out of her hand and we thought we lost all the seeds.....Two seedlings popped up and we are getting seeds sown to other places as well.  They are just beautiful and bloom all summer.





Sunday my family and I took a road trip up to New Glarus, Wisconsin!  It was such a lovely ride up through the hilly farmland!  I thought I would share some pics of the town and also of a GREAT Brewery   New Glarus Brewery





You can only buy their beer in Wisconsin.  It is owned by a Master Brewer and his wife.  A truly Hand Crafted Beer.  I haven't had such GREAT beer in a long time!  My favorite that day was the Coffee Stout.  Amazing that a beer could actually taste like coffee.   They just built a brand new building on the top of a hill with the most beautiful views!!  If you have a chance to visit, I HIGHLY recommend it!





Hope you enjoyed the tour!   We had a wonderful day!   I will have some new art to post soon!  Thanks for visiting!

So that means you really enjoyed your road trip? That's great! It's also good that your daughter already knows how to plant flowers at her very young age. I like the Blue Phlox. They're so cute. Anyway thanks for sharing.
