spring eye candy
a little wander around my yard this morning - it is just a perfect spring day. still the winter chill but with a touch of warmth, promising longer days. the crisp, fresh smell of spring and the sunlight - so I grabbed my camera and snapped. neighbours thought I was mad, but hey! I live in Woodford - the air is thin up here. more to come tomorrow!
have a wonderful weekend - xo

and yes - I have weeds too! I love dandelions and I never ever pull weeds from my lawn - I am a kind of 'let the garden go' girlposted by Miss Robyn | 8:05 am

Lucky you, starting spring. I love your photos...Iris's are some of my favorites. How wonderful it would be to have a field of lavendar growing....mmmmm
:-)
You are getting your garden ready for spring and I am getting mine ready to go to sleep for the winter. Nice cool damp weather here today... can smell autumn!
I tried to email you about the Chocolate Swap, it wouldn't go through. I'm lost. I love dandelions. I don't really understand why such wonderful prolific flowers are called weeds.
I love the idea of a flied of lavender, I also don't mind a few weeds, a lot of weeds are just wild flowers and are sort of herbs anyway and can be used to heal. If a 'weed' has pretty flowers and is not too invasive it may stand a chance of being left alone in my garden. It just the 'baddies' like couch grass, ground elder etc that I get rough with. Love and Hugs xx
How lovely to have such things growing and ready to bloom in the season nearly upon you. Dandelions are something I've called "wish flowers" since I was a child. If you made a wish and blew on them all the little bits floated in the air and if they all came off wishes would come true. I have no gardening ability so I am in awe of anyone with a flourishing garden. (especially lavendar)
Happy Spring to you!
I had some beautiful spring weeds in my front yard. I'm sure folks wondered about me as I mowed around them but I just couldn't bear to chop them down.
I look forward to watching the progress of your lavender. I would love to plant lavender next year. I'm getting all tingly just thinking about it!
It's a nice crisp morning here with that wonderful autumn sunlight and I am feeling energized. Fall always feels like a beginning to me..just like spring.
Ok..I'm writing a book here. hehe Talk to ya later.
Lavender is the best! its funny looking at your pics,spring just around the corner in oz autumn around the corner here in Blighty, infact it is pouring with rain! and I am so envious of your garden seat! how fabulous!
What a peaceful, lovely place you have. Enjoy every second. Weeds are great -- they need no maintenance!

Hi Robyn" Yea, I tried to email you from the profile, but that is what wouldn't go through. OH well, I guess you can leave me out.
I can't resist dandelions - that's even one of my daughter's nicknames. Your garden and yard look wonderful and spring-like (but I'm happy we're entering autumn in Paris).
Gosh, I just love your description of the photo "my Manchurian pear tree, with her new spring clothes"
I adore spring ....but here in Canada, the southwest coast of B.C. is coming into fall! Also a colorful time of year!
Peace and giggles Sherrie
LOL..it's so strange to think of you there getting all ready for spring ad warmer weather..when here I am getting ready for fall and hoping for cooler weather..LOL
Thanks for sharing some pictures of your garden. It is lovely to see such an important part of your life. I am sure you will have a field of lavender - and what a beautiful smell it has!
And I love Dandelions too. They provide a bit of magic :)
