SORRY

Sorry for being absent a lot in the past month’s. Winter was grey , wet and soft and it was almost impossible to take nice pictures. In fact we had no real Winter, no snow, no ice, just a few light night frosts. March has been like real Spring although it is still Winter. The sky is bright blue, the sun shines and we enjoy the sun a lot. Nature starts to wake up and the first Spring flowers are in bloom. I just hope we don’t get heave frost in April or May, everything is possible and this will do a lot of damage.

TINY FLOWERS OF NARCISSUS TETE A TETE

Always on of the first in bloom and always reliable, you plant the bulbs in the soil and they come up year after year. So easy !

AMELANCHIER OR JUNEBERRY BUDS

Another one you can always rely on, the amalanchier tree, also called juneberry, I don’t know why they call it juneberry as it always flowers at the end of march ! In a few weeks time it will be covered in small white flowers and it will be buzzing with bees. Look at that blue sky we have at the moment . So much better than grey.

Have a great weekend !

Views from my world

So far we have one of the best Springs ever, it is 22 C° in the shade so everythings grows  and grows. We have been working in the garden a lot in the past weeks, on top of that we have the kids cos of the Easter holidays (2 weeks) so by the time it is evening I am total loss, out of it and so on….I am not a Spring chicken anymore and I can feel it ( I can also see that in the mirror ofcourse).

I took some pictures for you.
