Opening Weekend

Looking at my window as I write this,

I have to say,

it doesn't look very much like

Spring!!

But yesterday it did,

and I had a little wander round the garden...

 

 

... the plum tree is absolutely loaded with blossom,

and I'm sure hoping

that this means

lots of plums:)

 

 

There are lots and lots of these:)

 

 

The tulips are just so incredibly beautiful,

the reddest of red.

 

 

I decided I needed some 'srping' cushions

for the front verandah,

just to brighten things up a little.

 

 

And I've been doing some work down the side garden,

it needed it :)

 

 

More 'ugly' plants disappeared:)

 

 

It looks a little barren at the moment,

but just you wait:)

When Spring returns,

 (tomorrow),

I will be out there planting seedlings

and

it wont be long before it's blooming.

 

I've just re-opened for the coming season,

and what a way to 'kick off' :)

Test match weekend in Dunedin,

All Blacks -v- South Africa,

and a house full of very happy guests.

 

"Arrived 14th September - ...our stay here was so wonderful and a pleasure ... saddens us to leave... all in all our experience in Dunedin for the rugby match was the best ever.  Thankyou Dunedin, but for most cheers, Jenny and Jake :)"
