Spring scenes from here and there

 

No time for a long post, but I thought I'd share a few spring photos from here and there around New Hampshire.  We've been coming and going a lot of late, and we've even managed to snap a few pictures along the way.  At top, you see a pretty perennial I received as a Mother's Day gift at church.  One lady potted up these plants and gave them to all of the other ladies at church.  Mr. T and grandson Sam planted it over at our little camp, where it is looking quite happy indeed.

Several years ago we purchased a mini daffodil plant to have at church on Easter in memory of a dear young friend who passed away at 18.  We planted it out back and, to our surprise, it has thrived there.  This year was its prettiest, most prolific year ever.
This pretty wildflower -- bloodroot -- seeded itself by a corner of our garage.
The lovely tulip pictured above and below is on the grounds of a camp where Mr. T and I have been volunteering this spring.
What a sweet sight is a beautiful old truck in a green New Hampshire field in springtime! Even sweeter is the sight of two old trucks, and an old sawmill in the background.

 On our way home Friday afternoons from working our volunteer jobs, we've been stopping at this fabulous ice cream place.    Such delicious homemade ice cream and such fascinating sights to see.

 

 

The shadow of a fern was so pretty on the threshold of our little cottage!  I asked Mr. T to snap a photo or two when we were there on Monday.

There are so many other glorious shrubs, bushes and flowers that we haven't taken time to photograph.  (One of my very favorites is a lilac bush with both white and lavender blossoms.)  For now, these will have to do.  Hope you've enjoyed this little peek at springtime in the Granite State!

    I enjoyed every photo! And the ice cream shop sounds wonderful! I know how special those places are up there in NH, because they are usually only open for the summer months, so it is a great treat. I enjoyed the flowers, and the stories behind them. And those trucks in the field of the old sawmill...iconic. Would LOVE to see pictures of your lilacs since we do not have them here in Florida and I miss them so much. Even better if you could make it scratch and sniff! LOL. Thank you for this delightful post this morning. Great way to start my day off right!

      I'm so glad you enjoyed the post and photos, Pam! 😊. Wish that I could make the photos scratch and sniff, as you suggested.
      Sadly, I brought the camera, but no extra batteries, and it has died, so no lilac photos from here. They are going by now. 😯

    Such lovely photos from New Hampshire. I still hope to get up that way Mrs T. We just moved to our one story home yesterday and what a mess is before me. The end result will be worth it but seeing your pretty snapshots is very calming this morning.

      Arlene, I'm so happy that the photos were a blessing to you this morning. I need calm myself today. Hubby and I are helping out at The Wilds of New England this week. I've been cleaning like crazy and getting quite tired. Feeling my age, no doubt! 😁
