The Spring Thread 🌸 💐 🌺

Another rainy day here so I couldn’t hang my washing out - I love the smell of washing dried outdoors.

It was so lovely in the garden yesterday, really felt like spring. I convinced my boyfriend it was his turn to cut the grass as I've already done it a few times. I felt like such an influencer though because as soon as we packed our mower away both our neighbours were at it cutting their lawns

Sun's finally out

It's noticeably lighter in the mornings now. I let the dog out at half 7 and it's not pitch black like it has been.

I bloody love spring
I treated myself to some tulips and daffodils today and put them in a vase together in my bedroom and they’re making me smile

Please take your tulips out or the daffodils will kill them. It sounds mad, but daffodils aren't known for their sharing trait.

Today felt like a early Spring Day!!

I seem to have a load of tulips and with the weather being so cold, the petals are staying beautifully, tightly closed, rather than letting it all hang out like a hooker as per usual!

Love this thread. Gardening makes me very happy. Some of my favourite flowers are phlox and black eyed Susan's. They bloom all season. It is nice to go outside and see all the trees with their blossom, even better when you can smell it in the air

It did feel like Spring today!! I found it was quite warm, well at least warmer than usual today. I’ve had some hot cross buns already and have decided what easter egg I want (the toblerone one lol)

Lovely Spring like day today.

Had the windows open all day I love this time of year. The birds are still chirping away. So peaceful

It is much lighter this morning, isn't it .

Not a whole lot of spring activity with all this rain we've been having. Our garden is waterlogged. I'm so over it.

I’ve got decent hyacinths in my garden for the first time this year! Have the conditions been particular good for them this year? Usually they’re munched by slugs and snails I think, maybe it’s been too cold for them!

Your garden sounds amazing

 

[Donnavanessa]

I’ve managed to get my washing dried outside on the line several times this month - smells divine!

Hooray we have sun

Do any of you have a spring clean of the house?

Yes! Spring declutter and deep clean
Ive also refilled my urban apothecary reed diffusers for my bedroom; Rose Voile. It's not that old lady rose smell, it's really powdery and gorgeous
I'm waiting for my living area reed diffuser to die so I can get a gorgeous new one

Happy May everyone, it's nice to have a bit of sun

 

[Marylou]

Spent a lovely productive few hours in the garden today. Transplanted plants and shrubs, gave the garden a good tidy up and have all my flowers in pots dotted around the place. Hopefully the bit of sunshine today will give all my solar lights a boost.

I dry my laundry outside all year round, but it's now started drying in a couple of hours
