Mother's Day

I often think about my mum.

Asking myself what she would have said or done...

She was and will always be a big inspiration to me  ★

Summertime

... and the living is easy...

Magnificent Magnolia

Today it's Hanami Matsuri (Cherry blossom celebration) in Japan.

The Japanese Cherry (Sakura) is flowering now.

Usually I prefer the smaller flowers of a cherry, apple or pear tree.

But right now the big Magnolia trees in front of this old house are stunning!

I just couldn't pass without taking some photo's...

Grateful

Feeling grateful for my mum and dad who are always there for us

Sun

I really need some sun's warmth....

Scent

If only you could smell this.......

Holiday!

The next 3 weeks I'll be off from work!
Finally I can do whatever I want :)
I'l be blogging regularly.

Hopefully you're enjoying your holiday or weekend right now!

Winter Blossom

First Frost

The first frost hit us overnight.

We have a bunch of tender plants so yesterday we ended up moving
treeferns, pelargoniums and African lillies to a safer place.

Winged White

 Small or large white butterfly?

The light and plants indicate we are heading towards the autumn.

Rush

 Rosa Rush

Doesn't these flowers look stunning?

This plant had lots of lices in spring but we didn't act and just waited.

We definitely won't spray with chemicals, at the very most we will just use some water.

It started flowering in june and it will probably go on until october.

 My message for you:

don't rush and have a nice weekend!

Papillon

Easy

We had a change of plans.......
We're both knackered so we're going to do some therapeutic gardening,

I wish you all a nice and sunny weekend!

Beautiful Day

It's such a beautiful day today!
