Glorious, Glorious Gardening Weather!

Today was the third day in a row that the sun was shining, the temperatures were above 17 degrees and thus I have been enjoying my freshly blossoming garden 100%!

After years of trying to get a Camelia to settle in our difficult soil, we finally have one that seems to enjoy staying with us. Last year it had three  smallish blooms, and just look at it now!

And our Japanese maple has produced tiny clusters of blossoms, just before the leaves are about to unfold. Isn't it gorgeous?

Unfortunately I will have to work a long day tomorrow, but perhaps the sun will be gracious and allow me some time after seven, to sit next to the pond on my make-shift seat on the compost heap and enjoy its last rays.

I'm wishing you a super gardening weekend, where ever you are.

My Very Own Blossom Festival.

Now will you just look at this!

Isn't it wonderful?

I can totally relate to the Japanese blossom festival, where people go out into the parks and have picknicks under the cherry blossom trees.

This, by the way, isn't a cherry, it is a wild apple tree, and one of the earliest flowering trees in our municipal forest every year.

Gina and me didn't have a picknick though, as it was raining quite heavily when I took it early this morning.

I took another one as well, of the white currant.

The blossoms were too high up for me to reach properly, but it's the thought that counts, eh?

The weather app I use predicts rain for the next 7 days, so I will have to postpone the picknick. Still, the blossoms will cheer up my daily walks tremendously.

Have a blossoming Sunday, where ever you are.

PS. Seconds before publishing this post, I noticed I had typed  'Bossom Festival'. LOL!!! Imagine the comments it would have generated.
