It may be the first day of Spring, but I have to admit, it’s still not feeling much like it! The words that spring (sorry!) to mind are:
Dull… Brown… Soggy… Hibernation…
My garden is water logged from snow melt, there is still some snow on the ground and hedges and bushes still have no signs of new shoots.
But, if you look really closely at the trees, tiny buds are starting to appear; new life is appearing and perhaps Spring is finally on the way.
Before we know it, it will be April, and I can’t help feeling that I’m going to wake up one morning to a mass of colour, Spring having decided that if it doesn’t get its act together its going to miss out completely this year and Summer will take over!
I haven’t joined in with the wonderful How does your garden grow? for a few weeks because frankly the words ‘grow’ and ‘garden’ have been so far apart in my little corner of that world as to be laughable. And, even I was starting to get a bit bored of pictures of snow :)
But, if you would like to see my retrospective of our winter in photos, please take a look at this post, which formed part of my #OneWeek collection for Winter 2014. Entitled Grey Scale, it gathers together my favourite photographs of the snow, and sums up how I have felt for much of the winter.
Linking with Annie’s How does your garden grow? Glad to be back :)
omg FINALLY your snow is starting to go i was going to send out a st bernard to you with a flask of spring so great to see your photos again #HDYGG
Thank you, I was seriously in need of that St Bernard :)
I see the buds, spring must be coming your way soon!
I know! Can’t wait :)
Doesn’t feel like spring in here as well =(
Your photos feels still wintry but pretty nonetheless =)

Thank you, hopefully spring can’t be too far off now :)
Lovely photos! I can’t believe you have snow! We didn’t get any up here! x
We had a lot of snow, I wish I could have sent some over to the UK!
Aww bless you you must REALLy be missing spring now! The little bursts of colour around at the moment add a bit of cheer to my days and I bet you can’t wait to see them! Hope spring isn’t too far away for you! xx #hdygg
Thank you! It can’t be far away now :)
Yay finally all that snow is starting to melt away! Thank god! :) But urghhh to all the soggy mud its left behind, fingers crossed it dries up quickly so lots of beautiful flowers can pop up :D #HDYGG
Thanks, some colour will be lovely!
Oh but when those buds burst through it is going to look AMAZING!
Here’s to hoping that you aren’t snow-water logged for long. Thanks for joining in again xx
Thanks Annie, I think we’re getting there at last :)
Fingers crossed you get some colour popping up soon, at least the snow has gone!
Thank you :)
Keep positive spring always delivers #hdygg
That it does :)
Spring is late your way…. it’s getting colder again over here! Are those buds magnolia? X
Very late! Have to admit, I have no idea, I’m still on a major learning curve with the whole gardening thing :)
i’m sorry it hasn’t quite gotten to you yet :(. soon….
It will arrive eventually!
