Wet, cold and windy.



The weather is still not good, but I am an all weather gardener. Today I have planted two trees, a Salix Alba which has wonderful coloured stems in the autumn and winter. Also a Rowan, I planted this one for the birds, as they will love the berries this tree gives so willingly. Always looking for a bargain I only paid two pounds each, so I was well chuffed. I managed to clear some of the beds of debris and cut some of the larger plants back. Not the ideal weather but I don't do sitting very well, I am an outside girl. I also managed while I was out in the garden to find plants that I havn't posted before. They made me happy, hope they have the same effect on you. The mason bees are still in the shed due to the bad weather, hopefullly it will improve soon, but its not looking good. Hope the sun is shining on someone somewhere!!!

Bringing spring indoors.


The weather is still awful, working outside is not possible as the ground is badly waterlogged.
So I've put touches of spring around the house, just to remind me that the weather will settle and we will be enjoying gentle breezes and sunshine soon.

Oh Dear, I've been tagged again.


I have been tagged again this time by Sherry at Q's Corner, this really is the last time and I won't be tagging anyone else. I was asked to:-
1. Pick up the nearest book of more than 123 pages.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
And cannot hurt thy weakness - So the storm
Of horrid war, o'erwhelming cities, fields,
And peaceful villages, rolls dreadful on:
As with the previous tag, join in if you want to!
Have fun.
