There are so many flowers blooming, this is only a bit of it all:
Scintillation roses bloom alongside of my shed, just on the edge of the wilder area of my garden, "Peppermint Woods"
Scintillation againMirthful rose in the front garden
Wild fuchsia
Himalayan honeysuckle, it's become a giant shrub, filled with buzzing bees.
Malva in the front garden, a wren visiting on the wall. The only reason I knew the tiny bird was there, was because my cat was doing that "I see a bird" thing that cats do with their mouth. And the cheeky wren was teasing the cat.
Dianthus
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle again
Cotton lavender
Evening primroseFeverfew and a lemon-scented geranium flower.
Feverfew
Campanula
Violas/pansies in the strawberry patch
Pansies form all over the garden.
My daughter, who lives in Dublin, has picked up gardening this year. She and her boyfriend planted seeds in all kinds of crazy containers. This is linaria from a wildflower seed mix. It makes me happy to see my kids have the same kind of love affair with plants.

I saw this pretty spider in the rosemary, when I went out to pick some for dinner seasoning. I love the coloring of it, green and yellows, a little spot ofpink.
Looking at the weather forecast for today, I was expecting a bright, warm, and sunshiney day. But the sky is overcast, and it's quite chilly. The symbol on my Google page didn't correspond to the actual weather. Yesterday, the symbol was a cloud with rain. But it was a lovely sunny day all day! So I decided to put my own Irish weather reports to the Google symbols, I think it comes pretty close to the truth. ;-)
