We had a beautiful Saturday this weekend and I spent a few hours in the yard weeding and ruffling the dirt to make it pretty. I took the opportunity to snap a few shots.
Here's the view coming into the back yard
And my mini path...
Some of my earlier tulips are open
And the daffodils are still blooming
Raindrops were still hanging on when I made my walk around
But the sun was shining
And it made for a sparkly effect
And seemed to intensify the color in these flowering pink currants
Lenten Roses still looking beautiful a week before Easter
I just love this time of the year
When so many things are happening in my flower garden
I always wonder why I don't plant more of the spring bulbs in the fall
Because color like this sure does make my day
After a little work I had a light lunch...dill rye, havarti and cucumber sandwich
But tonight (Sunday) after a cooler rainier day I was in the mood for comfort food so whipped up some enchiladas. I used a recipe I've posted about before (see it HERE), but made a few changes...using corn tortillas instead of flour, chipotles in adobe sauce instead of the green salsa (chop up the chipotles) and Chipotle cheddar cheese instead of plain cheddar. The smokiness of the chipotle was awesome. Can't wait for leftovers at lunch tomorrow!
I'm joining in on Mosaic Monday today over at Little Red House. Go check out the cool mosaics that other bloggers have shared.

Beautiful flower pictures and mosaic. I love the tulips with the little raindrops on them. Outstanding
Hi Suzy. Sure enjoyed the tour around your garden. I almost have tulips. I am watching them very close so to get a good shot as soon as the color shows through. We are having all our family here Sunday, a big family, and I do love to have the flowers in bloom. Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods.

Seeing your garden is the closest I'll be to the outside today...it is so rainy and wet here...thanks for sharing it with us...have a wonderful week.
What fabulous photos of your flowers! What I wouldn't give for a backyard like yours...it is just luscious. Our development is maintenance *free*...meaning WE pay for someone else to do the work. Lots of restrictions & rules about plantings. :(
I'll just have to enjoy yours instead!
Suzy, gorgeous flowers, your garden is always so pretty! and the sandwich and the enchiladas look delicious! Now you have me craving a cheese sandwich!
The mosaic is beautiful...spring in the NW is so full of color.
I am in garden bliss right now!~ Those pictures where outstanding! Beautiful mosaic, enjoy your Monday!
Oh, Suzy! Your garden looks so lush and green already! We don't have any leaves on anything yet. I saw a couple hellebores with buds but nothing besides the early irises and crocus blooming here. I love this time of year too (at least the anticipation of it)!
Are you sure you're not Danish with that cucumber and Havarti sandwich? :)
Oh, your garden satisfies my soul with color and texture - beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Suzy, thank you for the lovely Monday walk. I enjoyed every step along the way. I'd prefer to see your beautiful gardens in real life but virtually will have to do.
I'm particularly fond of the mini path ...
Your light lunch sounds delicious and dinner looks pretty tasty too.
Such beautiful flowers....I love them all but am especially fond of Bleeding Hearts..so pretty!
Blessings!

Beautiful tulips...love them with the raindrops balancing on the petals.
The garden looks beautiful! I am jealous of all your bloomers!
Dinner looks good too!
I can just picture you "ruffling" the dirt..just how do you do that !! LOL
Your blooms are beau - I'm hoping the bleeding heart you sent me comes up this year...I'll keep you posted!
What a wonderful garden! All your hard work pays off when the flowers bloom so bountifully!

Your flowers are so pretty. yard looks so green. We are not that far along just yet. Dinner looks pretty good also. :)
What a gorgeous mosaic. Spring is absolutely beautiful in your part of the world right now!
Suzy, your garden is gorgeous! LOVE those Lenten roses! Thanks so much for sharing at MM. :)
Wow, you have so much beauty in your gardens already! Just gorgeous, I am a teensy bit envious I must say.
The enchalidas look wonderful too :)
