Oh what a beautiful morning.

 I opened the window and almost felt like singing 'Oh what a beautiful morning'      The pear tree burst bud yesterday and looks like a bride in all her glory.    I could hear the constant buzz of the humble bumble.   Oh what a morning, after the long Winter.   Spring at last is making her presence felt.
 The grass is damp, and the sun warm.   I breathe deeply and have an overwhelming feeling of contentment.
 The wonderful scent of Auricula wafts around the garden.   Such pretty little flowers.   My collection grows.
 I hadn't noticed the Fritillary yesterday.   I must put protection around it, as it will most definitely be a swift meal for a rabbit.
 Rhododendron buds are swollen, another few weeks and they will be in bloom. 
 Camassia are popping up all around the garden.  I divided them last year, it was a chore at the time but so glad I did.
 Acers are looking good.   This is my favourite, gold and red is such a lovely combination.
Perhaps  this is how a mouse sees things :)
I am sure whatever is in my garden they are humming
'Oh what a beautiful morning'

Have a great weekend.

  5. I keep coming back to the mouse run in your garden. It reminds me of last winter when I found vole runs under the snow. You could see clearly where they ran under the snow.

  6. I have the same feeling this morning! Though everything here is much behind your garden, it is finally beginning to feel like spring.
