It is lovely to work in a nursery (some days – today being one of them).\u00a0 I love all the different vibrant colours of all the different leaves on the trees.\u00a0 The lime greens of the beech trees, the yellow green of the maples and the bright reds of the Japanese Maples.\u00a0 The light green new growth on the yews an spruce.\u00a0 I was out on the farm taking pictures of the Crabapple blooms and some Robins\u00a0are busy building a nest nearby.\u00a0They certainly didn’t want me near them as they were doing close fly bys around my head!\u00a0I can move on you crazy birds –\u00a0there are other photo ops out here!\u00a0 The tri-colour beech are starting to leaf out – got a neat picture of that.\u00a0 And the lilacs – I know there are a billion pictures out there of them but the frangrance lured me to them.\u00a0 Due to the mild winter everything is coming back so nicely.\u00a0It is nice to see.\u00a0 However, along with the leaves and blooms\u00a0– out come the bugs.\u00a0 I am not a big fan of flies.<\/p>\n

Some of our perennials are doing their thing.\u00a0 I like the ‘Touch of Class’ Jacobs Ladder we received – as well as some cool sempervivums.\u00a0 See the pictures below.\u00a0 So many pictures to take and not enough time.\u00a0 The Hostas and the ground covers have arrived and and are now sitting beside the ferns that are just starting to show green.<\/p>\n
