Flowers of the west coast

The flowers are budding like crazy in my garden. In the front are peonies, next are the foxgloves. We loved to play with these as kids, used them for swords, or put a pod on the end of each finger and pretended we worked magic with them. Behind those are phlox. It grows wild all over the place and I leave them to seed in the garden because they fill the empty spaces with their beautiful pink to purple flowers and lovely scent.

What is blooming where you are?

Second colour of Spring

I know yellow was my first colour here, but pink is now overtaking it. It’s still spring, right? Not summer yet.

This is the Japanese tree peony in my garden. It blooms way before the regular peonies.

The heather is covered with tiny pink flowers.

My crabapple tree is in full bloom. Luckily we spotted the caterpillars and DH took them off

What colours are showing where you are? Drop me a comment and let me know. Happy spring!!

Slow recovery

I came down with a cold a week ago, and it became one of the worst colds I can remember. No fever, or chills. But a total wipeout in terms of energy, and a cough that won’t quit, no matter what I use to treat it with.

Meanwhile, my job is to keep writing my new novel. 🙂

Don’t you love it? This new book is about some of the creeks up the coast of Vancouver Island. They have names like — Cat’s Ear, Sir Donald, Dead Man, Perseverance. I’m not sure who came up with these names, but they have really drawn me in. Now I have to come up with a story about them.

Fun, eh?
