I love to garden, and am familiar with most east coast bloomers, but when I go to California, I'm in the dark. Bermuda buttercups---so lovely! I think they may have been in bloom when we were in San Diego.<br />The interior is finished and we are so happy with it! Spring cleaning never went this far in our home. <br />Enjoy your week! ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-22473729949576560642016-05-04T01:26:24.672-04:002016-05-04T01:26:24.672-04:00Hi Martha,
Good luck on completing the paint job...Hi Martha, <br /><br />Good luck on completing the paint job! I bet it will be so worth it when everything is back in place again and your home is sparkling. I loved seeing your east coast flowers blooming. I can't believe you've had that shrub since you were a little girl. That is so special. <br /><br />I'm glad you asked me about the yellow flowers because I am terrible with flower names! So, I looked them up, and I believe they are Bermuda Buttercups. They bloom along the central CA coast in late winter, and they are SO vibrant (in person too!) <br /><br />I hope you are having a lovely week. :-)<br /><br />~JessRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-82343763391487308612016-05-03T08:32:20.561-04:002016-05-03T08:32:20.561-04:00Thank you, Pat!

Our rainy weather is slowing that down, but pretty soon it will all be fresh. Your projects sound exciting. We had new windows put in our Florida room a couple of years ago and it has made such a difference in our home.<br />Happy May to you! ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-72447197607889465322016-05-02T23:40:44.867-04:002016-05-02T23:40:44.867-04:00Happy May, Martha!

We will be getting new windows and then we want to have our kitchen and family room walls and ceiling painted. I'm sure it will all look wonderful when done ---we have to keep our eyes on the goal!<br /><br />I love lily of the valley! I've planted a few times since I moved here but it does not regrow so i guess my climate isn;'t good for it. My mother had a bridal wreath shrub in her front garden that bloomed every May. I wonder if that would grow here?

Are they sturdy flowers? The bridalwreath is so sweet. Such a cheerful flower, and how nice that it goes back to your childhood. You have one of my favorite quotes on here by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The worst part is not the painting, but the part you two are having to do. When we put our hardwood into the newer part of our upstairs (the old part already has hardwood floors), it will be a project just getting everything moved out of the rooms first.
