Anemone blanda


After a long winter
I glimpse sunshine
on blue anemones
and I know that
it is time to return
to the garden.

There is much to do.

    Wow, that's exquisite. I spent most of the day gardening, but I don't have actual blooming things yet...

    I cannot believe we are expecting an arctic front this weekend - I found a few snowdrops in my front yard. I fear they might not survive the weekend

    What a gorgeous photo, Alice. Don't know whether I'm more in awe of the blue anemone...or the sunlight. (It's been a dark week here in Deutschland.)

    Oh I know! I went to water my neglected pelagoniums in the heated greenhouse this afternoon and as I wandered back down the garden I was shocked to see the amount of weeds springing up, primulas trying to push their pretty little heads through the dead leaves, so so much to do!

    Yes, the buddleia is staring at me reproachfully. Hacking is good for the soul. Hoping for a dry weekend.

    It feels like I was there just yesterday and yet a whole season has gone by!
