Springtime

Don't you just love Spring? Hopefully warmer days to look forward to, new life springing up everywhere. I'm not much of  gardener but I do like to try...I only really enjoy working in it when it's warm outside and that's not very often in this part of the world.

Because I haven't tidied up from the previous year, the garden is usually in a terrible mess by now.

Every year I tell myself that this year, I'm going to keep on top of the weeds and cut the grass regularly but other things get in the way till it again becomes a nightmare to tame.

One thing I was really pleased to discover when I checked my house on Google Streetview was that, amazingly, the grass was cut and the borders weed free!
I took these photos a couple of days ago when out on a walk with my son and grandson. We were heading to the Duthie Park to see Spike (the talking cactus) and took the scenic route along the River Dee. The daffodils were simply stunning...
