Finally the sun came out from its hiding place. Finally the air was warm. Finally we got some planting in the garden done. Finally I weeded my last flower bed. Finally I painted all my toe nails red. Finally the irises are in full bloom. Finally the the kids play outside ripping their pants and coming in all green from rolling in the grass. Finally the sky is blue. Finally I have crochet moments outside, sitting in the grass. Finally my Maybelle squares are growing in numbers.
The Wisteria hangs heavy over our windows, smelling and looking lovely. And the chives from last year has grown in to a beautiful bush in bloom.
Finally I can wiggle my toes, walk around bare feet and spend more time outside than inside.
Finally summer came.

Your wisteria is magnificent Annette! Mine still has to bloom like that and it has been years! You certainly look as though you have been busy but glad to see you have managed to do some hooky time too (love the daisy embellishment!). Have a great week. Chel x

ReplyDeleteLove your wisteria. I want to have that, when our new veranda is up. And I love your flower squares - that's the Somali flower?
(I never did get to put a flower on the grumpy neighbour's fence...maybe during the week :-)
Your garden looks so beautiful and inviting. Love your wisteria, just gorgeous. This weather is just so wonderful enjoy xo
ReplyDeleteFinally, Spring has sprung here in the Lake District of England too. But our mountains must look like small hills to yours. My sister went to Switzerland a few years ago and I was bowled over with the beauty of your mountains which she captured with her camera. Switzerland and Sweden are on my 'must visit' list.

Your wisteria makes me long for our old house in Paarl. I need to plant new ones here in our new home, in our new province. Love, love, love wisteria. Enjoy the summer. Winter finally arrived in South Africa and it's cold! -5 this morning on the deck. Brrrr!
