It’s finally warming up here! This lovely peony has popped out and I couldn’t resist, can you believe it! I am not usually a big pink fan, but really I had to take photo’s of this one. The sun has been out for 2 days in a row ( a great cause for celebration!) and things in the garden are bursting out, you can almost hear the plants growing and the flowers blooming.

I love the bold marks on these hosta’s  the stripes and the shadows…

Everyone has been enjoying the sunshine and getting to work outside, did you notice the bee in the image above? the plant was absolutely humming with busy bee’s as I was taking this shot. Some of course just want to play!

The garden has been taking allot of my time lately but I have started work on a new piece as well. These longer days are great for getting things done. Here’s the colour palette so far, subject to change of course! You’ll have to wait a bit to see where everything will go…
