Today I really feel like I have stolen the first day of Spring, the weather forecast for the rest of the week is down to -5 and perhaps some snow, but today was lovely.
I picked these flowers and wish you could smell the violets, they remind me of my Grandmother.
I did my first real gardening of the year and cleared this bed of weeds and herbaceous dead stuff- only took a before picture though!
But look what i found in full bloom
Its a winter flowering iris and when we did work on the house I rescued a clump that lived in a bucket for months before i finally replanted them in lots of different spots and they have flourished this year.
A real wild primrose from seeds I gathered from my parents woods
The sun got me motivated to go outside a sand one of my latest projects - it has now had its first coat of cream paint and is drying by the Aga
I hope you all managed to see some sun today

The linen basket got scrubbed and washed and then covered in bicarb to remove any nasty pongs - the painting will start in the next few days.
I hope you all managed to see some sun todayMM xx

I've just seen the forecast for the rest of the week. I wish I had done more today.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to seeing your furniture all done up!
What lovely pictures - sounds as if you had a very good day! I love it when the first crocuses and daffs appear, and we can start to clear our garden. thanks for popping by my blog - I'm certainly inspired to try and open a folksy shop. x
ReplyDeleteHiya, it's been lovely and sunny here too... guess who has forgotten to bring the washing in though! The primrose my Dad gave me is flowering and looking pretty but the rest of the garden isn't doing a lot yet. Your iris is gorgeous.
