Flowers in bloom

Poppies, geraniums, and peonies are abundant under the curly hazel tree and the magnolia.


Further down the garden near the hen house, at the walnut tree, the lilies and perennial cornflower are thriving, and so too are the weeds.


A single peony flower fills the room with scent.

Summer is here althought the temperatures have dropped considerably.


Big hugs,

Margie

Spring has sprung

There are signs of spring everywhere, blooms and buds, majestic hosts of daffodils, april showers, and pale green growth.

Curly willow near the greenhouse, is budding in beautiful green.

Mr. Margie gave the lawns their first cut of the season.

Pheasant's eye narcissus are my absolute favourite spring bloom, these pretty flowers seem to smile through the green leaves, as they gently sway in the breeze.

The apple trees are bursting with spring blossoms, green leaves sheltering palest pink.


“Nothing is so beautiful as spring – when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.” – Gerard Manley Hopkins


Has spring sprung for you yet?

Big hugs,

Margie.
