First day of spring





My garden with its picket fence on the first day of spring.  We are blessed with such a beautiful day.  Just look at the sky.  The tree in the foreground is the Manchurian pear, now in blossoms.




The blossoms.  Last time the tree was pruned was a few years ago.  It has shot up again and can do with another severe pruning.




The apricot tree with a few blossoms.  Last season I harvested a handful of fruits.




The flat peach too has a few blossoms.  I have seen better days.  And below, close up of this gorgeous pink flower.




The ixias, creamy with yellow center are beginning to open up.




A patch of violets with the ever present parsley.

Cheerful flowers to greet visitors.





Garden as viewed from the house on this beautiful first day of September.  The cherry trees and the two apple trees are yet to show sign of their blossoms.
