While
some higher and western parts of the country were
freezing cold, we have had
endless moments of sunshine and
a bright clear sky over the last few months. It
definitely
feels like spring here and the photos I’m showing you are
a little
sample of what is happening in my little corner of
the world, in the midst of
winter!...So-called!
It is
strange indeed to have November without autumn,
December without winter. I find
it a bit surrealistic like
most other things around us. The trees are budding,
Japanese medlar started blooming and our country home
is wholeheartedly
whispering of spring. The weird fact is
that I’m longing for winter while having
spring in mind and
feel pumped to get started.
I’m torn
between two seasons!
Now the plan is to get the yard ready for spring
and summer trying to avoid expensive solutions.
The problem is that we have been
battling all kind of weeds
and don’t like the idea of roundup all the time. So,
the first
thing to do is to cover the aria to be landscaped with a weed
control
fabric and put decorative stones on top.
Second ; a walking path beneath
the pergola in the
backyard and finally a decking floor so we can spruce
up a
cozy dining corner.
And of course seed starting!
I want more perrenials this year!
I'm so excited about all these things!
Hope you like my cheerful pics and those informal posies.
A little bit of this, a little bit of that, not so huge, not so
showy but I would rather favour them than anything arranged
to perfection. Even if things are bare outside, I try to
incorporate some fresh cuttings, no matter what their style is.
Hope this
handful of flowers brings light
and warmth to you all, wherever you are.
