The joy of Springtime

I love freesias, my favourite flower for this time of the year.
It really shouts out that Spring has arrived.
I have some in the kitchen and not only does it add some colour to the home, but the fragrance is intoxicating - I do wish you could smell them.

Last week I was out at Newmarket doing some shopping and even though it was overcast and rainy, had to take a photo of the pretty pink magnolia trees lining the pavement.

We are getting excited about our upcoming holiday. Next week we are off, so lots to do from now until then.

Happy weekend dear friends

The first encouraging signs of Spring

The first Freesias are out in the garden and there is a definite Spring feeling in the air!
With a little flurry of snow the other day, (for all of about 2 minutes ) when I looked out the window it was not rain and it was not hail, but the soft powdery white stuff.
We never get snow here where I live, so it made it all the more exciting for me.

One kind word, can warm three winter months
~ Japanese proverb
My white camellia bush is delightful and love the pretty white flowers which remind me of whipped cream.

The tuis are making an appearance again and won't be long before they are drinking the sweet nectar, from the beautiful yellow blossom of the kowhai tree

I love Spring ... what season do you like best?

Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend
Hugs
