A Walk in My Garden

A Rhododendron

I’m taking a little break from thinking about publishing and websites to enjoy the season.

A fragrant azalea just starting to bloom.

Indulge me. April is over ( I almost typed “almost over” because I can’t believe it!)

I’ve had my nose to the proverbial grindstone for months – ever since I decided to publish these four books this summer –

and am trying not to miss one of the most beautiful springs I can remember on Vancouver Island.

An incredibly fragrant French lilac – I wish the internet had scent capabilities.

Don’t ask me the names of any of the types of Rhodies and azaleas in the garden, I just go by colour.

I apologize to Easterners who have not had such wonderful past-few-months, but I can’t lie any longer.

It’ll be a couple of weeks before the peonies are in bloom.

It’s been glorious here. The weather’s been good and the blossoms have been spectacular.

And although I have been busy and holed up in my

My abundant fig just starting to fruit.

workshop, I do try to take at least a walk around the yard every evening, see what’s new and to just enjoy it, because spring is the nicest season in my garden and  soon it will be gone.

Flowering blueberries. Better cover them before the deer get them.

But in amongst the flowers there are  hints of things to come.

Peonies, Foxglove, Lavender and all the fruit.

I can’t wait.

How are you enjoying the season?
