When the sun shines!

We are excited to see that at last our garden is bursting into life. This is our flowering cherry, the upright type. 

And altho' we're very happy to see this, we're ecstatic to see our peach and plum trees are full of blossom and we can see that they have set fruit. This year we might have a peach each, instead of sharing one and more than one plum each too!

The last few sun shiny days have been glorious and we have been out in our garden getting it straight, and enjoying ourselves.

Pelargoniums, tomatoes, cosmos and dahlias have been potted on and more cosmos seeds sown. You can never have enough cosmos! Dh has sown lettuce seeds and thinned out the carrots. 

Everything in our little plastic green houses, has grown, so we're looking forward to a garden full of colour. Dh also planted the bare rooted geraniums I'd bought, altho he did plant one where we had some germinated California Poppy seeds, which are no more! Ah well, just as well I had scattered some seeds in another bed!

Elegans

I've planted these bulbs, never done these before, so hope they come up, as the photograph looks so pretty.

While I was potting on the seedlings, I listened to the audio version of 'The Women' by Kristin Hannah and it was wonderful. I heard bits of the story that I'd forgotten, when I read the book!

And I'm really enjoying my book I'm reading at the moment, by Ann Bennet.

'The Fortune Teller of Kathmandu,' not my usual choice of book, but I like a gentle read on my kindle for when I'm awake at night, (note I've said.... for when I'm awake, not If I'm awake!)

Don't you love the world when the sun shines and in the garden with Dh fills my heart with joy.
