We spent all last weekend in the garden doing a big tidy up.
I managed to find some flowers.
and it was mild and we had a blue sky.

Then this week has been work and fog.
At school the children in class 5 made rag rugs for their topic on the Victorians.
and I have taken to having a latte most days when I get home from work....some times accompanied by a treat but not always.
And what a treat was waiting for me when I arrived home the other day....
Her work in paper and fabric is so special, do pop over and take a look.
The heart is at home in my workroom window at the moment.
So that is the beginning of March....I do hope the sun comes back soon.
It must feel so good to have the garden cleaned up and ready for spring now, Lynn! Your newly acquired heart is so pretty hanging in the window. I hope you see some more sunshine very soon and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI thought winter was over too but it is not to be! That is a lovely heart that you received from Judy. She is a wonderfully talented and generous lady! It is great that you got ahead in the garden. I still haven't ventured into mine. Have a lovely weekend Lyn. x
ReplyDeleteWe spent all of today in the garden, now it's cooler. Hope you don't get to much snow. What a lovely heart you won.
ReplyDeleteLovely double hellebores. Your garden looks quite challenging - on quite a slope? Good though. Pretty heart - sort of thing you need to cheer you up when it suddenly turns grey and rainy (or worse) again. Have a good weekend. x
ReplyDeleteLucky you, winner of a Judy heart!
ReplyDeleteI have found snowdrops in our garden, but they are just barely up. The hellebores are under new snow that has fallen these past few days.
I'm always delighted to spend a bit of time here, Lyn.

Oh now I wish I'd taken before and after pictures - I just keep looking out of the bathroom window and smiling because now I can actually see what's coming up (when it's not too foggy of course!) I'm new here but look forward to having a little mooch around your blog x Jane (P.S. What an incredible picture of your cat!)
ReplyDeleteI've really been enjoying the fog. The beach looks fantastic and the first cuppa when we get back from a walk is even better than usual! I haven't ventured out into the garden yet but modest plans are afoot.
ReplyDeleteThe hellebores look wonderful! You do have some lovely things in your garden.
ReplyDeleteI was just in the midst of the clear up this morning, and now the rain has come down again. Looking forward to the return of the sunshine too.
Beautiful flowers, I can't wait to see some here. Right now our ground is still covered with a foot of snow.
ReplyDeleteWe rarely get fog here but today the winds are blowing in a storm. It will snow in the mountains but we will probably get rain in the valley. Your cuppa and treat looks very inviting although I tend to like dark chocolate.
ReplyDeleteYou worked hard in your garden. I can't believe that we are due more snow, I hope it won't last long.
ReplyDeleteThat heart is very pretty, aren't you lucky?
I have a soup dish in the same design as your plate - Sgraffito from Habitat.
Lovely to see signs of spring in your garden even if it seems to have disappeared again! Your heart gift is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI had difficulty finding your comment button, I don't know if anyone else has had a similar problem.

Thank you so much for showing my heart, Lyn! I had a bit of a thrill when I saw it on your blog! So glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful and your garden is ready - hope you did not get too much snow! xxx
It's snowing a little here too, although it doesn't look as though it will settle. We didn't seem to have these milder temperatures that everyone else was raving about. Roll on spring, I'm desperate to get out in the garden!

I love those hellebores - so pretty! Like you we've had a week here of bright sunshine and grey mists and this morning we've woken up to a light dusting of snow:)
ReplyDeleteWe thought the same, Mr FF and I have worked so hard in the garden, tidying, had a bonfire, all the usual stuff. Its completely white with snow now, nothing to do but watch the rugby and knit. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello there :)
ReplyDeleteSnow is forecast here too for this week, but we're still enjoying the typical warm/sunny/rainy March weather..and lots of cute new chaps in the garden.
Have a lovely week, keep warm ..and enjoy your sweet treats :P

I really must get out into my garden and see if I can unearth some flowers underneath all the dead stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat lit up 'Fog' sign looks strange. Like it should be on a motorway, but that doesn't even look like a main road.
I'm fed-up of winter, I'm ready for warmer days and a hint of sun now, but I hear there is possibly more snow to come. I love your hellebore photos, they are one of my favourite flowers and wow, that's a hefty bit of garden clearing you've done, makes my feeble pulling out of a few weeds look rather pathetic, I really should get out there and cut back too. Here's hoping for some sun! Beth/thelienncat x
