Wet morning in the garden...
















We need rain! Hard to believe after the recent flooding, but most of the province is tinder dry. We did get a little rain last night and this morning, but not near enough.. A quick walk around the garden revealed many wet tulips, some still upright, and some weighed down with droplets.
























Now that spring is finally here (it was a loooong time coming!) it seems to be moving ahead at full speed. The crocus, scilla, chionodoxa and daffodils are finished blooming, tulips are now at their peak, and I noticed today it won't be long before my beloved apple trees are in bloom as they are already budding. When visiting a friend's garden this evening, I noticed her large flowering crab is just a day or two from being in full bloom. I could already smell the blossom's sweet scent.
























Ahhh, glorious spring! There will be many more photos from the garden to come...































Peace,
Linda

Hard to believe you are so dry when other areas of your province had floods, isn't it! Love those tulips......they are so pretty.

The tulips are beautiful. My Bleeding Heart is flourishing. Be careful what you wish for when it comes to rain. We had that flooding, then it got so dry that the firemen cancelled our one week of open burning of spring debris. We asked for rain and it hasn't stopped since. Today will be another nonstop day of water falling from the sky.
xx, Carol

Your garden is looking very nice. We have had rain everday for over a week. There is so much standing water as the ground is just saturated. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of all your pretties.
