I hope all Mothers had a very Happy Mother's Day today! My husband gave me these beautiful roses. We all celebrated last weekend so our daughter and daughter-in-law could celebrate with their families today.
The high Colorado Rocky Mountains still have some snow on them...
...but here on the Colorado Front Range Spring has finally arrived and even brought us a blessed couple of days of rain.
Some of the flowers now blooming in my gardens.
On one of the rainy mornings, I had some visitors.
They seemed to really enjoy all the freshly growing leaves and flowers too!
Spring has also brought new baby bunnies!
This one is growing fast and also enjoyed eating the fallen tree blossoms.
My husband and I were watching our oldest grandson play Lacrosse this weekend and I noticed we were right next to a few foothills that remind us of something. Can you see it?
The foothills formation in the distance is called the "Sleeping Indian" of West Arvada, as seen from Ralston Valley. Steamboat Springs, Colorado, has the "Sleeping Giant"--click here--to see that post but I think this Sleeping Indian is much more pronounced and easier to "see"-- what do you think?
This view reminded me of this quote by Edward Abby:
"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds."
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteHello Pat,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses, I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Your deer and bunny are adorable. Pretty Spring blooms. Gorgeous views of the mountains and I like the view of the trail. Great quote! Have a great day and a happy new week!
Those flowers are beautiful. I can see the Sleeping Indian! Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI do see the sleeping Indian!
ReplyDeleteThose deer and bunnies are cute (but I have a fence to keep them out of my vegetable garden).
Enjoy the wonderful spring and all the flowers!
Aww look at those bunnies. We used to see bunnies but they don't come around much anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rainbow.
spring really comes to your home with flowers, deer and baby bunnies

ReplyDeleteSleeping Indian is very visible!
ReplyDelete...spring is always worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteThe mountain landscapes are beautiful. The visitors are quite welcome.
ReplyDeleteWow! i love that they come right into your garden! How lucky are you?! (Your plants maybe aren't so stoked...)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that you got some rain. I love the little bunny, he is so adorable.
ReplyDeletePat - it might be spring over there, but it's still winter here - lightly snowing today - we have a fire in the fireplace right now!
ReplyDeleteWe also have bunnies (just adults - babies will follow!) and deer - always the deer!
Those are beautiful roses - belated Happy Mother's Day!
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Your photos made me smile, Pat.
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow shot is awesome!
Happy Tuesday!
Spring! All the more wonderful for having waited for it. Your backyard is a wildlife haven! Beautiful flowers and scenery.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for joining in #Allseasons
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing me such a wonderful place and amazing animals
ReplyDeleteThose baby bunnies are so dear! So wee! And I love the wet deer. I'm glad you got some rain -- you sorely needed it. Happy week!

Your bouquet of roses is so pretty! Spring is such a beautiful season with those flowers and the baby deer. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring photos! Cute bunnies :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bouquet of roses, but it’s not mille fiori but sono ventiquattro rose o due dozzine. Last week my daughter greeted a new au pair, from Italy! So I can practice my Italian. Lovely mountains all around you, here in Tennessee we have hills, not as majestic but still pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers from your husband, Pat! It's great to hear you have had rain to welcome Spring. You have the most amazing views and yes I do see the sleeping Indian! So neat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers you received. I do see someone sleeping there! :)
ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung!! Exciting times, all the new critters and new plants.
ReplyDeleteI love the windy trail to the ridge, perfect pairing to the quote.
Those flowers in the vase are so lovely! I like the kind of vase you have there, it is a classic. Enjoy the rest of the week!

ReplyDeleteHappy for you, there was rain. We needed it too in The Netherlands. It is too dry, and it is all about the climat change.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rea on you pics. Beautiful flowers, mountain. In never saw a mountain and I am always happy to see them on pics.

Lacrosse seems to be very popular here too...I can't see anything in the mountain except a lizard...Lol
ReplyDeleteI love your inquisitive deer and cute bunnies! It really does look like spring has arrived.
ReplyDeleteHello Pat,
ReplyDeleteI hope your flowers and plants are surviving the deer. They are so pretty. I love the baby bunny. Adorable photos and critters. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I'm happy to hear that it was raining. Lovely bunnies!
ReplyDeleteGrandchild events, visiting deer, sleeping Indian views and a few days of rain to help your flowers bloom. You are blessed.
ReplyDeleteAh, the long-awaited arrival of spring! Here's to warmer days, blooming flowers, and the rejuvenating spirit of the season. 🌷☀️
