Short Garden Update......


 Feeling a bit better this morning....thanks for all your kind words and remedies♥️
The sun was shining...
I had Potato Leek soup on the stove...
So I thought....linda...get your camera...go visit your garden♥️
So...without further adieu...
Housecoat and slippers...
Out I went...



The Daffodils are not plentiful...
But...they are spectacular...
So bright and perky...
And I was surprised to see...
White Hyacinth blooming...
I could smell it before I saw it!
 



My beautiful Hydrangea is still blooming...
Took him outside about a week ago...
Will take him to the cottage to plant...
As per one of my resolutions...
More Hydrangeas....
 






 Back in the house...thru to the front door...
My Easter planter is doing fabulous!
The Pussy Willows are going to seed...
Don't they look incredible?
Don't see any leaves yet...as I am hoping they will root...
For transplant at the cottage...





Pansies and Daffodils and Tulips all doing just fine!
Guess the cool weather is good for something, eh?
These are still in their pots, and I will plant them in the garden...
Once they are done their show...





Pretty blue Scillia blooming...
Just a small patch...
But..so pretty..



Plenty of day lilies sprouting...
Nestled beside my ceramic Lamb...


 I also have quite a bit of bloomin' going on inside!
Will show you that tomorrow...



Hope you are all having a great day...
Still sunny here...and...no...wind!!!
I am heading out to do a wee bit of shopping...
Feel like I have been stuck in here for days!!

The wee fellow to the right is my latest project...
I started him last night...and got this far...
What do you think???
Isn't he the cutest thing???

Enjoy the rest of your day...
Anything exciting going on in your neck of the woods?
How are your gardens coming along....how's the weather...
We are in Sprinter...according to my friend Nancy!
I think that is a perfect name for this season...

                      On the menu tonight...
                         Leek & Potato soup...
                          Peameal bacon and tomato sandwiches...

                    Cheers!  :o)

  4. Glad it was a sunny day for you and not too cold in those slippers!
    Beautiful shots of your impressive array of garden flora (that's a posh Brit name for flowers! lol)
    You must have a good camera, Linda, the definition and deatil captured is magnificent.
    Hope the coughing is going away!
    (You did not reply to my message last night ROFL)
    . . . . . and you are highly conspicuous by your absence at my place, sob sob! I feel neglected ROFL.
    Your ceramic lamb looks as though it has been in a fight! Another lamb must have hit him in the lamb chops! Get it? hahaha

    Oh and don't let Betsy's cats see you mouse - all 15 are bound to eat it and maybe Nugget might attack it too!

    1. I have a wonderful camera that my boyfriend gave me about 1 1/2 years ago....
      It has an extra ZOOM....he knows I like closeups!

      Perhaps tomorrow....:o)

  7. What pretty flowers! I have daffodils...
    One pretty tulip is blooming. She's always the first and the prettiest.
    The others aren't far behind, and the trees are starting to turn green too!
    Cute little mouse head.

    1. Funny.....I have one like that at the cottage! I tried to get a picture of her last weekend, but it was no good....
      Whatever happened to your wee felt bear?

    2. I haven't looked at my wee felts since my mom passed, but I have been thinking about it lately.
      Actually, there has been a considerable amount of stress around here lately. (My daughter has a boyfriend... There aren't any problems with him, per say, it's the daddy who is really stressed and so far has refused to meet him. It's not bloggable yet.... *sigh*)
      I have a bazillion different varieties of daffodil here. They're all pretty.

  8. I have to see if I can take a decent photo of my daffodils. I picked a couple today because they are just so sweet ! I have daffodils that are ordinary , I have white petals with a yellow center and I have yellow ruffled ones !! those smell a little sweet also.
    One red tulip opened, it is in my kitchen now. I am just waiting, everything is going to burst open any day now, being this far north and so much cold weather, I think everything is cautious about actually blooming :)
    besos ! oh .. we have huge trees and they are all opening now . so wonderful. get the benadryl !

  9. Oh my sweet girlfriend....I have been SO ABSENT! I tried to comment last night, and couldn't for some reason! So sorry to hear you and the bf have been feeling puney. My whole house, all but me, has been sick. I am PRAYING I don't get it, because then I cannot be with my Mom. She began chemo on Friday.
    What a crazy, busy time!
    Hugs,
    Kris

  11. You have some beautiful flowers blooming there Linda. I noticed that my daffodils don't have near as many blooms as usual this year. I wonder why. Pussy willows gone to seed are really pretty. I see them growing in my neighbour's front field/swamp after wondering if there are any nearby to cut but they're gone to see now. :( Your little mouse head is too cute!
