On the back of the feelings of springtime this morning
I had a mooch in the garden at dusk to look at the spring flowers
Which are just showing their faces to the sun.
Pink ribus, miniature daffodils and grape hyacinth are valiantly colouring patches of my borders
And I filled an old cut glass ink bottle with a bunch and listened to The Archers as the dogs turned slow circles in front of the fire and Albert sighed in the middle of them stretching his bad leg slowly towards the heat
The flowers are next to my bed
On the blue pained Lloyd loom table
And they look cheerful
As I wanted them to
They do indeed look cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI have a little arrangement on my kitchen table at the moment of the exact same flowers. 😁
ReplyDeleteToday Iǹ saw windflowers and the leaves of wild garlic
ReplyDeleteof which I ate a few leaves later today - and chatted to a birdwatcher in the drizzle and we heard a woodpecker but didn't see it - Would Albert wear a support whilst indoors x. 🐺 🐧
It's like a work of art. Salvage Hunters would like that table.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, and I do like a bit of Lloyd Loom.
ReplyDeleteI love garden flowers placed in an unusual container. I have a little cranberry jug that was my MIL's which I use for such arrangements. Must get it out and fill it with some spring colour. xx
ReplyDeleteI think that giving ourselves flowers is about the sweetest thing we can do for ourselves. It is literally saying, "I am worth this beauty."
ReplyDeleteYour Spring flowers are very cheerful. They add greatly to your decor. Massachusetts is still cold nights and only my iris are showing just slightly above the ground. Everything else is completely underground. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteAren't they lovely!
ReplyDeleteWe have grape hyacinths and azaleas blooming but the dafffs are past their prime. Your flowers and words are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better.
Hugs!
Nature has it just right. Exactly when we need a boost after Winter she gives us Spring flowers. How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteA lovely boost..just what's needed.
ReplyDeleteOnly the Ribes is in flower in my garden...we will have to wait a bit longer
They look so beautiful. Am looking forward to Spring, to coming out of winter "hibernation", to sunshine and summer plans.
ReplyDeleteFlowers give hope. x
ReplyDeleteI'd love some in every room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a smashing start to the day. I love the thought of your old puss warming up his bones.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers. Gorgeous post.
ReplyDeleteThose look so sweet and I bet you wake with a smile when you see them. xx
ReplyDeleteThey do look cheerful. I don't think I've ever heard of ribus.
ReplyDeleteRibes sanguineum Flowering current
DeleteLovey flowers, such a beautiful herald of Spring
ReplyDeleteDon’t you think everything feels so much lighter?
DeleteI often bring some flowers from my Philadelphus into the dining room when it flowers for the short time in spring, the smell is divine. I can't plant bulbs as I am on a high water table and they rot; I've had them in pots before now but I am notoriously bad at watering pots so discontinued planting them. Your flowers look lovely I have never seen the pink one before!
