OH NO ! NOT AGAIN !!!
It is snowing AGAIN ! This is getting really boring, all I want is SPRING, a little sunshine and temperatures above 0 C°. So I am not asking much or am I ?
This is what my garden looked like this morning.
Have a great weekend all and thanks for stopping by ! Enjoy your garden when you can !
I don’t have a lot of blooms at the moment, it is still very much Winter over here and the forecast for the next 2 weeks is not very good, still frosts at night and around 0 C° during the day with some snow or rain, so I am very happy to look at your blogs, some of you have Spring already ! Makes me green with envy but happy at the same time. Of course there are small signs that Spring is comming, I have little green stumps where I planted crocusses, narcissus, muscari, chionodoxa, tulips… and some tree’s and shrubs are getting bigger buds but as the temperatures stay low it is all moving too slowly in the right direction.
The only thing that is blooming (inside my house ofcourse !) is my beautiful begonia Muddy Waters who has almost black leafs, when the sun is shining through the leafs they are very dark red. The blooms are pink with little dark red freckles, they are small but there are many of them in a cluster. Also the form of the leafs is beautiful, I like looking at it even when it is not in bloom. It’s an easy plant, I have it for many years, it is also easy to propagate by cuttings, I like giving plants away to family, friends and clients, it is my way of making this world a bit greener.
Here are some pictures of my begonia Muddy Waters.
Have a great weekend all and thanks for stopping by !
We have ice rain today, it’s horrible !!! Everything is covered in a layer of ice which makes the roads dangerously slippery. I have to collect my grandchildren from nursery soon, the biggest problem is that my driveway goes down to the road when I leave, I hope my car doesn’t slide down !!! I hate Winter !!!!! And I so want to start working in the garden !!!!
Today you’ll get the last pictures of our trip to Kenya, maybe you’ll want to go and see for yourselves how it looks as the real thing is always better than pictures of course, and as I said before, the smell you get with the views make it even more special. Kenya is highly dependant on eco tourists so you’ll be welcomed with open arms !
We ended our safari with a few days at a beach hotel in MOMBASA.
I Hope you enjoyed your trip through Kenya, I know I did !
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week !
I DON’T HAVE TO INTRODUCE THIS ONE TO YOU, DO I ?
ART. YOU COULD BUY ALL THE ANIMALS YOU SAW ON SAFARI, IN WOOD OR IN STONE, VERY SMALL OR VERY LARGE,I WANTED A MONKEY IN WOOD BUT THAT WAS THE ONE ANIMAL THEY DID NOT MAKE, WHEN I ASKED WHY THEY SAID THAT MAKING MONKEYS BROUGHT BAD LUCK, BUT I KEPT LOOKING FOR A WOODEN MONKEY AND ON OUR LAST DAY I FOUND ONE, IT WAS NOT DISPLAYED LIKE THE OTHER ANIMALS BUT IT WAS HIDDEN IN A SHED AND WHEN SOMEONE HEARD I WAS LOOKING FOR A WOODEN MONKEY HE WENT TO A SHED ON THE BEACH AND GAVE IT TO ME, I WAS OVER THE MOON WITH IT !
There is more to come in my next blog, thanks for stopping by !
