on a more positive note….

after re-reading my post from the other day I think I have been altogether too hard on our blossoming spring! looking around my garden, and even around the home; heaps of the plants are in flower! it makes all the freezing cold winter mornings spent toiling the soil worth it for blooms like these…

the african violet (left) was a gift from my mamma. she grew it from a cutting and had kept it for years without it flowering. i brought it home with me after a visit in the depths of winter; and low, it flowers for me in the spring!
the geranium (right) is not actually a geranium, but i cant remember its real name; and they are related anyways. this was a cutting i took from the neighbours garden last spring. i went for an early morning walk and was so startled and pleased by the amazing deep color of the flowers that my green fingers just couldnt resist growing my own!

enough of this pottering about however I have work to do; the sun is shining and the sky is blue, the more I get done the sooner I can be home with you x
