Garden feature today ,both from Donna and myself ,I finally managed to down load some pictures,You can see (Ihope) my dear little Magnolia tree ,and the pink flower ,which I believe is from the Primula family.They are the ones we bought at the open day at the exotic pet centre.....The stones in the front of the pink flower are what Kate bought Maurice for Christmas ,and as you can see are really lights ! will be lovely when we can sit out side when it gets a bit warmer,Maurice goes back to his three days tomorrow, so has been in the garden today he has managed to move the little shed over abit ,to accomadate the wheely bins between the shed and fence ,out of sight ! and then in the space between the shed and the summer house,he plans to make a little quiet sort of area to sit ,crazy pave it ,he has bought me a dear little table and chair ,wrought iron effect that will fit in that area ,he had to empty the shed in order to move it ,Whoo hoo ,the contents of a fellows shed ! mainly fishing equipment ! some stuff for the dump ! that old sewing machine I told you about , anyway I took a picture will put it on here at some stage.The sun is shining brightly and its quite warm out ,how nice ,just the day to do abit of tidying up in the garden today .Maurice has actually come in now and is watching 'The 39 steps ',the Kenneth Moore version ,how many times have we seen it ?a really good oldy ........So I'm going to toast some currant bread and butter it ,make a drink ,so I will finish here for today.I hope you are having a lovely day where ever you are ,With Love From
Thankyou for this one too, Donna,Donna can be found in my side bar ,Where I have put the lovely sewing machine so I can look at it often

your flowers are very pretty and those rocks really do shine a lot of light. I have been thinking of getting some but was wondering how bright they were.. are they solar? Your wash looks so nice out there ... today is the day I will get my lines up again.... My other clothes lines got broken and can't be replaced so we got a new pole on a stick... I hope it works ok... better than none anyway. Sandra
Great Pictures...love the Stone lights, but Allan 'wired' my lights 3yrs ago.
So I can't really change.
Scooby, taking an interest as well (lol)

Your pansies are lovely the same colour as mine. The little pink flower thought you might like to know we call them Kirie Dumps up here don't know why but I think is has something to do with Kirriemuir (birth place of JM Barrie) just another piece of useless knowledge I store in my brain.. Have a lovely day Love Joan.
Jan Donna'sgraphics are really lovely ~ I love your flowers and the lights they are very effective ~ The little space between the shed and the summer house will look lovely I am sure when Maurice has finished it ~ the wrought Iron table and chair will look great in there ~ Ally

Hi Jan those light stones are really good ,I haven't seen those before,they high light the garden so well. The magnolia tree is nice ,good idea to set it in the garden with stones round.Hope Maurice can move his shed over to make room for your seating area.......Love Jeanx
love the photos ;)
Nice pics and i love the rock lights...At least the shed got a spring clean LOL Caff xxx
With silver bells, and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row!! Did you know it is a rhyme all about Mary, Queen of Scots and all her maids who were called Mary? I just love currant bread, toasted especially!!! Got the taste now, must buy some....ran out of it a couple of weeks ago and have not replaced it, lol!
Your magnolia tree is very pretty and I love the rock lights.Hmm..might copy sometime!!! Eve
Hi Jan, Mmm...currant bread and butter...yummy! :o) I had to smile at your dear little Magnolia tree, ours is the same variety and it`s now about 10-12 feet tall and still growing! It is at least 30 years old though and when we bought it it was the same height at yours. It makes quite a show in Spring time. :o)

I knew i should of kept those lights for myself, i am thinking of getting a magnolia tree myself cos they are so lovely. Hope you are both not too gardened out. Love you both so much. Have a nice bread and butter pudding, oh how i remember those. Think you should make your little babe one, one day. Yum yum in my tum! AND GUESS WHAT - I DON'T HAVE A TOOTHACHE TODAY
Ah..there's something about Spring. Getting out in the yard, cleaning up & getting ready for summer. It makes one feel alive again, after the long dark days of winter. Wish Maurice had time to come help me in my yard. Linda in Washington state
Sounds like Maurice has certainly been making the most of his time off :-) Good luck to him for his next venture xx
Love the lights. And don't mention sheds, mine are still crammed full waiting for the new one to arrive (Monday, hopefully). B. x

Your little garden is so cute. I love it. Great graphics from D. too. GBU, Shelly
You have beautiful flowers in your garden! My husband takes care of our garden. I have no talent for gardening but I do LOVE to look at the blossoms when they bloom!
Kathy
The garden is coming together nicely and Scooby looks like he is enjoying it
It was a lovely day to be outside wasn't it? I was stuck in the hospital working but did have the restaurant doors open looking out on to the garden. Those stone lights are great, never seen them before, lovely to sit outside with in summer when the sunsets!! I had some of those pink flowers, I can't remember the name right now, I'll get back to you when I remember! Jeannette xx
Your flowers are lovely! They are blooming now? We are still getting frosts at night. I can't put anything out until probably mid May. So pretty. HUGS Chris
It has been gorgeous here and i have been sat out in the garden, your garden is looking lovely :)
