Circles of Daffodils

 


The Community Orchard now has a daffodil boundary on the common land outside the village. In the summer a wildflower border brings the fruit trees to life.

I always think it’s a simple but inspired bit of planting.

Today it’s sunny. Yesterday it was 19 degrees and the views of the hills from my counselling room in Abergele were sublime. I found myself gazing out at the sky between clients , enjoying the view like I do when I people watch on holiday. 


The daffodils on the field wall are almost going over, but I cut a few with some untidy stems of eucalyptus  to brighten up the kitchen.

I never tire of the view from my living room, and my garden hens look warmed and russet in the spring sunshine

The church view is sublime too, and the cats shadow me as I water the planters and check the honeysuckle for new growth. 

I don’t want to be anywhere else today

    I am waiting for second spring. Still looking out at snow. It is above freezing now so maybe the snow will melt again today. You sound so happy and contented today. Good for you. Gigi
