Springtime!

After a very rainy winter, it’s finally dry enough to sit in my garden and enjoy the sunshine. It’s been a stunning spring week: clear, blue sky, a slight breeze and the sun’s rays feel just warm (not scorching yet!). My garden is simply bursting with life: The fish and the frogs in the pond are swimming around excitedly, hummingbirds, bees and bumblebees hoover over the flowers all day!

Another water lily has bloomed: Mayla, the first flowers are usually small with faint color.

Barbara Dobbins continues blooming.

And Roses: undisputed Queens of the garden, now feeling/looking a bit better with sunny days.

Honoré de Balzac, I love this rose! She's so double that looks like a cabbage!
