Spring has Sprung

Spring has arrived, which means the football has finished. I have found the front yard (which means I have been tending to the garden and removing the weeds. lol.)
I am still working on the back yard, it is quite a bit bigger.
We have nearly had an average rainfall this month after so long with very little rain. The one thing that grows first and fastest are the weeds!
Here are some photos of some flowers out the front.

Daffodile, an early starter


I love Tulips in all colours.


Daphnie, My husband says when he smell the daphne, he knows that winter is over, even when we get the return of the cold spells. As a result, we have quite a few of these plants and they do smell wonderful!


Rhododendron, we have a few different colours throughout the front and back yard. This one has a couple of suckers growing which is great!


Camilla, again, we have a different colour in the back yard.


We have two standard cherry trees that were planted around 16 years ago. They are budding up and as you can see are about to burst into life so to speak. This normally means that the winds are just around the corner. Great gusting winds normally arrive just after the cherry trees bloom!

We have quite a few roses in the front yard as well, they are not ready to be shown as yet.

I will show some stitching in the next post.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day.
