Sunday afternoon spoils from my walk around the farm with Dinah. Planted by unknown hands more than a century ago in the gardens at Elway Hall, these hardy daffodils are the proverbial gift that keeps on giving, with literally thousands of them popping up along the fence rows and wood lines of our property. We found these along a centuries old stone wall on our south garden, so happy and bright in the waning sunlight. Have a bright and happy week everyone! 🌞#bright #happy #yellow #daffodils #country #lifestyle #natural #beauty #flower #power #sunny #colors #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #photo #beautiful #spring #flowers #weekend #love #nofilter #photography #fresh #homedecor #designer #interiors #photooftheday

Saturday story. Like natural clockwork, this magical tree blooms gloriously every year at a divinely determined time. Filling six windows along Elway Hall’s east facing front with vibrant life and color, we await these blossoms each spring as Dinah awaits her doggie dinner time…with eager hope and quiet excitement. Planted 24 years ago in honor of my maternal grandmother, Nettie Sylvania Darr, this tulip magnolia brightens our world like thoughts of Nettie brighten the world of my childhood memories. Strong, beautiful and often pretty in pink…her favorite color…”Miss Nettie”, as the locals called her, awaited the annual blooming of her tulip tree with animated anticipation. Not only was it a splendidly beautiful display, but it signaled the imminent arrival of the vernal equinox…or more importantly, the end of another “weary” Arkansas winter. (That is, a season without flowers. ) Every Easter would see my sister Susan and me paraded to the garden in our Sunday finery to pose underneath the fuchsia boughs, Easter Baskets in hand, for new Polaroids to be passed around until the following holiday. (I have fond memories of hiding myriad pink dyed eggs in plain sight upon the round carpet of pastel petals on the green lawn before the egg hunt. No one could ever find them!) I’m so happy that I planted this touchstone tree all those years ago on our Virginia soil. And so grateful that this new tree floods my old Southern memory with beautiful thoughts of magnolias now gone, though with us somehow still. Welcome back Miss Nettie.

Flashback Friday…to an image I shot from a guest bathroom upstairs at Elway Hall on this very day 12 years ago…with a tulip magnolia in full bloom just outside the window. I could have taken the very same shot today. The constancy of nature is a sight to behold. Have a beautiful weekend my friends! 🌸🌸🌸 #flower #power #flashback #friday #photo #spring #color #pink #interior #design #natural #beauty #happy #flowers #beautiful #tree #colorful #scene #old #house #new #season #love #designer #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #photooftheday
