      Still a few months to go before we open the pool, and that's when I consider Summer to have begun.

    That first photo looks like a painting! Must be the shadow and light.

      Difficult to paint. I don't think I could do much with it.

    Our roses and clematis have started to sprout along with many other things .... Spring is on its way. You are probably only a week behind .... the more you rush it, the quicker it will be over !!! XXXX

      The Clematis has small leaves and flower buds, and our Quince is about to flower. The Peaches are ll in flower, and the Pears aren't far off. I was surprised to see, recently, a Peony in Yorkshire that was way ahead of ours!

      Not a subject for me, I'm afraid. My skills are not up to the job.

    Neither can I. I have 50 plants sprouting in my inside greenhouse.

    I love the pictures, Cro.

    The gardeners were to come last week, too much wind and trim back my citrus trees but they have blooms already.
    Soft rain, and snow higher up today.

    cheers, parsnip

      I just noticed that my Pear trees are very nearly in flower. I hope we won't have further frosts, or I'll have no fruit again.

      No snow here so far this year, but I have known it snow on Easter Day. My fingers are crossed.

    If it had been on my wall it would have been blown off by now.

      We've been lucky this year. Only minor frosts, and very little destructive wind. February was almost like Summer.
