It’s been a bitterly cold winter this year here. Although still cold in the mornings and evenings, daylight hours are lengthening. The sun shines in a bright blue sky.
Through our front window I watch the birds chase each other in a frenzy of spring romance.
In the garden spring is bursting as the first of the spring bulbs shyly poke their heads up to catch the sunlight. I wish you could smell this narcissus. The aroma is exquisite.
The garden is coming to life. Soon it will be a riot of colours and new green growth.
It feels good to open windows and let the fresh air indoors. Indoors where to my utter delight, I have managed to nurture my first ever orchid to bloom!
The window sills proudly play host to these two cyclamen. They love their spots in the sunlight. Somehow, I have learnt how to get the best from them.
Watch the magic of nature at work as these flowers
grow and bloom before your eyes.

Thank you 🙂
Welcome
There really is something wonderful, magical, mysterious and spiritual as spring arrives. Here, we are smelling autumn in the air.
My two favourite seasons of the year – spring and autumn 🙂
Happy Spring!! We’re heading into Autumn and the gloom of Winter. Not my favourite month.
Time lapse is wonderful isn’t it?
It’s awesome to watch the blooms unfurling. So beautiful. I love the colours of autumn too.
That video is amazing. I want to go out and buy some flowers now! They really brighten up your life for a few days don’t they?
Get the smelly ones – nice smelly, I mean 🙂
This time of the year is exactly the time when I envy everyone in the southern hemisphere. Here in the north, winter is coming…
But autumn is so beautiful too !
It is, especially when it’s Indian Summer!
Cool video. It’s getting ready to be autumn here, and I will finally be able to open the windows for awhile again, too. I love that fresh air!
Give me autumn and spring year round and I’d be happy 🙂
As your winter turns to spring, down here we have our first semi coldf ront at the end of next week. 65 Fahrenheit overnight. For Lusitania, that’s pretty good. I’ll take it! Love the seasons change. It’s the absolute best!
Yes, autumn is gorgeous !
*Louisiana. Haha!
So beautiful to watch – each one is like a kiss…
The blue iris was my favourite snog 🙂
Iiris (Finnish spelling) is my middle name 🙂
That’s lovely…
