getting a bit warmer

I saw swallows a couple days ago.. meaning the weather should turn a bit warmer soon. It's been a very cold beginning of the year so far, looking forward to a bit of sunshine and warmth.

Here's my son's cat Dib, following me around the garden, posing nicely behind the celandine in the peppermint woods.

Winsome Winter Solstice

The sun glows behind a blanket of fog on this solstice morning.

June garden

  

Outside the kitchen window.. the yellow ones are Graham Thomas roses, and wild roadside daisies.

My shed, slowly being engulfed in nature. Yellow Teasing Georgia roses and pink Mortimaer Sackler roses on the arch.

before and after

My back garden in 2004 and the same view now in 2012. I like to take a photo of the garden each year to see our progress. There are a lot of cuttings, seeds planted and roses ordered.  Trees came from seeds, unwanted trees from neighbors, volunteer seedlings, and the fruit trees were bought.

Daisies and Hawthorn

 Our hawthorn is blooming wonderfully this May. Can you see our cat, Pippin?
