Amazingly, some of my Mother's Day flowers are still hanging on. (Mother's Day here was March 15!)
I have been far too busy, arranging and rearranging social events for groups of friends (which will be nice, of course) and doing lots of admin for the choir of which I'm chair. Much too much time has been spent on the computer. However, on Saturday we redid the walk for which we did the recce a few weeks ago; this time it was the real thing, with the other walking chums.
On the recce we were walking into a strong wind, which made it quite tiring.
But on Saturday the weather was perfect for walking: mild and very still, and what with that and the chatting, the 6 and a half miles felt easy.
Back in Edinburgh, the cherry blossom is going over, with drifts of pink on the pavements.
The trees are so pretty, though.
This is part of a regular walk near where we live.
This bit of the Water of Leith feels quite rural, though it isn't.
And back home, the garden flourishes,
as does this pot of tulips outside the front door. I love the colour.
So as long as one doesn't listen to the news, life is peaceful.
What beautiful colors and I love those parrot tulips! Walking around in Edinburgh was one of my favorite things to do; it's such a gorgeous city. Our Mother's Day is May 11th which will be a tough day for me.
ReplyDeleteYes! So sorry.
DeleteYour flower bouquet has lasted remarkably well. What is your secret?
ReplyDeleteWho knows? Plant breeding, I suppose!
DeleteWhat beautiful blooms to decorate spring. It's just starting here!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of your garden -- Home Sweet Home! And I'm green with envy over your walks. I walk a little here, but always alone, and it's the same boring path. Your walks always look so ... struggling for the right word ... fantastic seems over-the-top and wonderful seems too boring ... I hope you know what I mean anyway {sigh}. Oh, to have your walks AND your command of the English language!
