This Way …
to the week ahead.
It can be just what you want it to be. Let’s make it a positive one!
It’s Starting!
Definitely a feel of spring about the place today. And about time too!
Snowdrops abound; a suspicion of daffodil buds. Two or three pale crocuses have opened today, lonely and straggly in their oversized planters. (Where are the others?)
I’ve planted out some more red tulips, which were a most welcome gift. A lot to look forward to there …
Tiny shifts, tiny events everywhere, from the unidentified and intriguing (dark red shoots emerging in unmarked pots) to surprise discoveries (shy, white blooms of forgotten winter-flowering honeysuckle). And last year’s biggest rescue mission: white narcissus bulbs, found in a terrible, neglected state and given an emergency home in a huge plastic box. Too close together, too many in the box, but still alive and raring to go, by the looks of it. Let’s wait and see.
Return of the primrose.
What are they?
Discovered this morning.
Hardy geranium returning.
Grape hyacinth bud.
Narcissus nursery.
Green heaven.
Midweek Cheer
Now, at last, it feels like autumn. Not that I wanted the summer to end. Who needs rainy mornings, or that sudden recognition of chill at the door?
To redress the balance, here’s a beautiful orange poppy I bought in Bury St Edmunds market a few weeks ago. It’s still flowering – just. A cheery smile as I left the house for work today!
Midweek Inspiration
Early morning. Grey. Misty. On my way to work. Remembered this from a few weeks ago and it made me smile.
Look Beyond
Even if it feels like this right now…
there’s something better out there.
Keep looking.
Just Beginning…
We all have to start somewhere.
Great oaks from little acorns grow.
