Hello dear friends - I bid you all a warm welcome to this week's LACE.
I hope you and yours are having a very blessed week in God!
I have been concentrating on making some changes around our home,
and thinking much about gardens and plantings which nurture body and soul.
Throughout the week I've been watching the lovely signs of an approaching Australian Spring in my garden..
and I have to say - I can hardly wait for it's arrival this year!
Winter seems to want to stubbornly linger on for a while in our part of the country,
and in fact rallied a blast of cold air and more light snow on our mountain just yesterday.
Nevertheless, I see our herbs and vegie seedlings are definitely having a little growth spurt,
thanks to the slightly warmer days that have visited us recently.
The Woodman is very happy to see the lettuces and silverbeets coming on.
He is really hoping his Dutch carrots are" doing their thing" and will be sweet to eat pretty soon!
Everything is stretching up from the earth and reaching for the warm rays of the sun.
Even the peas which sprung up unannounced from the pea-straw mulch are doing a happy dance today :-)
The promise of new life is growing plump along the branches of the peach and nectrine trees.
Soon the blossoms and the bees will be dancing their duets to the tune of balmy breezes and sparrowsong.
Oh how I love the "in-between-seasons" of Spring and Autumn!
Watching the cycle of the year turn in all it's glorious colours and perfumes
invigorates my soul and gives me so much joy.
Perhaps by this time next week the Woodman's axe may finally stop to rest..
and the watering-can and hose take up the baton in it's stead :-)
And I will be right here on the sidelines eagerly cheering them on, lol!

Isn't the beginning of Spring a wonderful time? Enjoy this new season. I'm starting to think about Fall and am looking forward to the cooler days and nights and the beautiful change of colours.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, Trish!
We too, are looking toward Autumn now.
ReplyDeleteReady for the break after this hot summer.
Your garden looks really good.

Hi Trish,
ReplyDeleteWell, we feel like we never got our Summer yet as it's been so cold and rainy. But, the ducks like it and so do the flowers. My roses just keeping on blooming. They had quit long before this time last year so I guess with every dark side, there's always a bright side too.
I missed last week with you, although I had your link on my post, because we had gone away on a little trip to visit family. Have a wonderful week, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
It almost seems a bit odd for you to be talking about the coming of spring, when it's still summer here in America, ha, ha! :)
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, your garden looks gorgeous. You were also quite poetic and creative with your words today. I like when you do that. :)
Hi Trish,
ReplyDeleteSpring is stirring in Sydney as well. Your garden is looking good--keep up the good work!!
I'm looking forward to seeing early Autumn in France.. exciting..
( sorry I can't help name-dropping )
Love Barb
I have spotted my first daffodil and the maple tree has tiny buds on so I know spring is come - slowly - where I am it won't come until late September and our frosts won't finish until early November - so some time to go but at least I know it will turn up. I have a large pot of purple pansies that flower beautifully at this time of year to give my garden some colour.
ReplyDeleteOh, your blog is still here, silly me! You must have 2 different profiles now. Again, just love your garden :)
ReplyDeleteHello my friend,
ReplyDeleteI noticed you have a new blog header since my last visit, and I love it of course. I also like your family photos.
It's so fun to watch a garden grow, and especially when it is going to be edible :o) . Great photos!
God bless you Trish,
And big hugs,
Michele
I absolutely love gardening. And these are such pretty photos! Thanks for posting.
