Hello dear friends! I didn't plan on taking a blogging break but one day turned into another and before I knew it, two weeks had passed! I've been trying to get a little spring cleaning done and spending more time out in the garden. Isn't it nice to finally enjoy warm weather? I find myself looking for things to do outside because I don't want to come in!
Spring flowers fade away so quickly. The scilla have finished flowering and are quickly being replaced by grape hyacinths - definitely one of my favourites!
We've had a lot of rain this week and the garden has loved it. Unfortunately, so have the weeds. I spent the weekend pulling out some pretty big ones that weren't there a week ago. I'm hoping for a trip to the garden centre this week. I'm keeping the garden simple this year and just buying plants that are hardy and that the rabbits don't like (if that's at all possible). Every summer I fight a losing battle with the rabbits.
And the spring cleaning? It's been put on hold. I'd rather be in the garden! :)
Oh, we have a very rapid spring .
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so glad to see this tender spring fresh photo ;-))
Have a nice Day!
Good! Choose the fun stuff first. We have had it chilly and wet here.I don't mind it cool; in fact, I prefer it that way, but sun is nice! Did you notice, Lynda, that I used your method and squared up my photos?
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it being cool either. It's easier to work outside.
DeleteGood choice with the spring cleaning, Lynda. I have done the exact same thing. Summer here are way too short to spend a lot of time inside.
ReplyDeleteI just love this photograph! Such a beautiful blue.
You have a wonderful day (outside!!!), my friend. xo.
After the Winter we've all had, I guess it's no wonder I don't want to stay inside! :)
DeleteSuch a beautiful blue flower and it's too bad they aren't here longer for us to enjoy!! And I would choose garden work over housework any day!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you Lynda, it has been a long cold winter and late Soring so every day the sun shines I too am out in the garden! Such a place of joy!hug
ReplyDeleteCleaning and blogging pale in comparison with spring gardening!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words on my last post. I was very touched. Stepdad Jim is doing pretty well with 1st chemotx, and brother David is starting a clinical trial at Dana Farber in Boston this week. Remaining hopeful, and grateful for the opportunities for joy we are given every day.
