Jewels in your Garden

Dearest Ruby,
         When the sun is shining, all the colours of the flowers look so much more vibrant.

 

...the deep pink of the Tulips'

 

 

...or the blue of the Forget-me-nots

 

 

...my favourite has to be this purple Periwinckle.

 

We've also planted some Strawberries. Its always fun to plant some 'edibles'

 

One day you will have your favourites.

 

This is the Apple Blossom from Grandad's Apple Tree. He's very proud of providing us with apples and raspberries later on in the year.

 

 

And here are some of the numerous Bluebells we've had from our side of the path !!

 

 

Love and hugs,

How Much You Have Grown !

Dearest Ruby,
         Don't all Nanas say that' "Oh, how you have grown", when you only saw them a short time ago? Well, I am no exception!
Our original aim had been to measure your height on your Birthday but we were busy that day celebrating, and eating jelly and cake with your cousins, Riley, Erica, Grace and Micah-Elijah.

 

Here you are opening your presents and having fun with your balloon.

 

Micah seems to have gathered together a bundle !

 

So, the task of measuring your all-important height, came about at the end of April. We've marked it against the mini greenhouse in your garden.   ' 2ft 10" ' or 34"

              We have also been and bought a colourful Owl who declares 'My Little Garden' for you ...

 

and a wind-chime. Don't you just love it ?

 







     A friendly Bumble Bee has decided to drop by !

 Happy Days !

 

Love and hugs,

Warmer days

Dearest Ruby,
         The days are starting to get warmer. You're basking in the sun !

 

What a lovely dress you are wearing.

 



Funny!
 

Can you see the bright yellow Forsythia in the background ?





Stretch .....!
 

 
Tulips and Primroses....

and blossom on the Cherry Tree. 

We'll be spending more time out here seeing how the seasons change.

 

Love and hugs,

Enjoying the Spring, planning for summer !

Dearest Ruby,
    The sun is shining , it's warm and yesterday we did the first cut of our grass. Your little lawn we have left though, to allow for the crocus bulbs to properly die down and put all the goodness back into the soil.

 

Don't you just love the fluffy bits of your willow tree.

Cowslips are now in flower underneath.

 

 

I had to capture the cherry tree, now in full blossom.

 

So beautiful !

 

Primroses, ever faithfully appear....

 

Flowering in your rock garden are these deep pink flowers.

 

Elsewhere, tulips are blooming....

I have planted some in your garden, but they haven't yet shown their faces.

Yesterday I also got busy with planting a selection of summer bulbs to give us a fine display later on.

You showed me your garden at your house yesterday too. You have been digging the soil and preparing the ground with Mummy to plant your summer flowering bulbs too. I'm told you didn't mind getting your hands dirty either !

You even lent Mummy your tools to help you.


Love and hugs,    Nana x
