Some days...you just have to make your own sunshine...
Yeah...my sunshine started out like this...
We had to turn a few cartwheels to get it to look like the top photo...
I even used Photoshop Elements 9...
See the Curly Willow...I cut a lot of branches off of my tree before Christmas...
I tied them up with some jute and put them on my front porch...no water...just bare branches...
Yesterday I snipped off some cuttings to put with my buttercups...
The branches were sprouting little green leaves!!!
Do any of you great gardeners know if they might root???
If you can’t find any sunshine...
just make some!!!
Curly willow is prolific. It will root. We stood one branch up in a concrete block on the asphalt driveway and it turned into a tree, roots and all! Your photo was beautiful before photoshop too.
ReplyDeleteThose photos definitely brought some sunshine through my computer screen. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and spring like. Curly willow will root in water, or just stickit in the ground in the fall or spring. The same goes for the forsythia and pussy willow.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of making sunshine, and I thank you because it is very dreary here today.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed looking at your beautiful photos..... definitely looks like spring.
ReplyDeleteNone of the flowers you've shown will grow in our area, so it's nice to see something different.
Beautiful Becky.... I love your 'sunshine'... We NEED some sunshine here today.. It's cloudy, drizzly and downright dreary!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us.
Beautiful sunshine pictures. The willow will start growing if you plunk it in to the ground...they are very reliable! I have a lot of them growing from last year and will givce them away this year!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I really needed sunshine today.. Thanks for sending some my way!!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! Oh, I love your homemade sunshine! :) Looks awesome and I love your new header.

ReplyDeleteThese photos are incredible. Absolutely beautiful!
I couldn't agree more!

I love your photos.

My gardening skills (few that I had) went down the drain long ago. Don't know about the curly willow, but if it sprouting green after this long, it probably will.
