Everything seems to be moving a little too quickly. Perhaps cooler temperatures will slow the plants down a little.<br /><br />I have seen several bumble bees and quite a few honey bees which is positive. The bee in the image was taken around ten days ago and is the first bee that came to visit :)<br />Also saw several butterflies whilst walking Nella yesterday......couldn't identify them as they passed by so quickly.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-77580745672724611362014-03-19T08:39:23.623-07:002014-03-19T08:39:23.623-07:00Hi Cheryl,
Very nice to 'see' you again! ...Hi Cheryl,<br /><br />Very nice to 'see' you again! <br /><br />I'm surprised you haven't seen Bees/Butterflies sooner? We've had them for a week or two now - although they will probably go back into hiding soon as it's due to get cold again in the next few days.<br />It's very windy here today, I've seen a Peacock trying to fly but it's just too dangerous for it at the moment so I'm guessing it's found a nice sheltered site now.<br /><br />The plants have come so early this year, I think I'm going to have a big lull before the spring/summer plants arrive. Crocus and Irises have finished, daffs are out and soon to finish too. However I have spotted some buds opening on my Geranium Phaeum today. Far too early - normally late April/May blooms. As nice as it is to see them, I'm actually worried that I'll have nothing left blooming by July.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-13301986022103964242014-03-19T04:38:17.963-07:002014-03-19T04:38:17.963-07:00Hi Lisa,

I have only a few crocus, snowdrops and witch hazel blooming now. We are a little behind your weathers. Your cherry trees are gorgeous. I can't wait to hear the hum of a bee and to see the fitting of a butterfly. Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
