WOYWW

 

Good morning all.
Do you like my little bunch of Scrappies. Sylvia shared some similar ones on her Facebook page and I thought I would have a go. After all, I do have plenty of scraps! I made this one first but she has gone to my friend's granddaughter already .

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather 

Our garden is beginning to look more colourful.

We have a beautiful magnolia, several camelias and lots of primrose etc  I don't suppose they will last long but it's lovely to see them. Here are a few of them . .

Lastly, I had a busy day yesterday refilling Maxine's shelf with her Tilly Tea Dance stock at the Bog Center. It looked good and with this lovely weather they will have lots of visitors to peruse her wares 😃

So that's me for this week.

Make the most of the sunshine

First Day of Spring?

Something Wipso and I don't have in common!

I love my little Hellebore plants with their delicate blooms of soft greens and purples.

Mum always called them Christmas roses and believe it or not the white ones have been in bloom from October and are still glorious now! So, they were definitely in bloom over Christmas and survived the hard winter!

We have always said, today March 21st, is the first day of Spring and at last my garden is beginning to show signs of it. The crocus are in full bloom, their yellow and purple petals giving a splash of colour in otherwise drab flower beds.

My dainty purple irises have filled the pots beside my back door with a mass of tiny blooms and look wonderful.

My Stellata magnolia has fuzzy little buds and I have one or two red anemones showing too. Amazing, when you think of the hard frosts and snow they all have had to survive. It always reminds me of the line in an assembly song we used to sing ...

Under the blanket of gentle snow, secretly, softly, the green shoots grow.

Do we ever doubt that Spring will follow Winter?

Purple is definitely the colour of the day - these are the cards that I have been making.

I know someone who will love the colours - even if she doesn't rate Hellebores!

Have a great week and thanks for calling.
