Purple is My Color

My name is Ellie.  I come in many colors including this beautiful subtle purple.  The color purple is definitely a hot color right now, so I was the perfect choice to attend the garden club meeting today.  

It was really amazing how many ladies were wearing the color purple.  It reminded me of the coming of Spring with crocus and iris in bloom.

The speaker today was Shirley Remes who is a writer for several magazines and has her own website shirleyremes.com.  Wow! did it make me anxious for Spring to arrive.  She had slides of so many beautiful gardens here in the Midwest.  I got some great new ideas for the yard.  The only problem is the long wait for the ground to warm up and the digging, planting and fun to begin.
