A spring day

It has been another balmy day, only interrupted by a thunder and tiny shower around lunch time (pack up the plates!! quick!). But the water was very welcome. Even Ces wants to be in the garden, and for the first time this year we can leave the coats inside. By now we have quite some colour in the garden: the rodondendrons (3 of them), the heart flowers (I will look up the name later), tulips, the rijsenbrij (bought), the blue druifjes, the dotterbloem, the hulst, daffodils, and the violets we got from Brian and Frances everywhere. The Magnolia is magnificent, but rather out of view, unfortunately. I hope it grows tall so we can see it over the shed. And not to forget: we lunch under the blossoming cherry tree!



The lawn in the sitting area seems to be holding fine, I hope the rain is just enough to keep it going. Too wet is probably not good, as the roots would become lazy.



Ces plays 'scheppen' in the sandpit, and I can't resist taking out the daisy's and madeliefjes, even though I wanted to keep them until after flowering. Well, it is not the abundance of the Vechtoever, but I still have enough to do for a while.
