Morning all,
What a busy happy lot we are. I am still waking up ..feel a little achey from lugging aruond bags of mulch yesterday. I got a couple of plants moved. I refurbishd a little birdhouse. I glued twigs to the roof and around the edges..then put it back in the garden. There was a nest from last year inside.. The wrens came back yesterday..and I wonder if they were looking for it..LOL I did notice one wren looking in the gourd birdhouses that they always nest in. Funny I had just mentioned to my neighbour when we were having coffee that I hadn't seen any wrens yet..and then later we were wandering in the garden and there they were. I noticed a tiny shoot coming form a rose I thought I ahd lost over the winter..I was pleased because that rose has been here for about 18 years.
Last evening my gradndaughter and I made chocolate chip cookies together..from scratch! They were good..and I brought a couple home with me.

Gita..I love heliotrope too..and have had a once Pentas before.Thanks for reminding me of that one..I have heliotrope on my list already. I had put a handful epsom salts around each of my roses a couple of weeks ago.

Sharon..I noticed two of my smaller irises showing colour and thought of you. Your Black Magic puts me iin mind of my big german Iris Cranberry Ice.
Photo from last year...
