Spring is a busy time of the year around here…lots needs to be done in preparation for the upcoming (and exciting) summer season!
The lawn mower needs to be tuned-up, the garden needs attention, flower beds are cleaned and baby seedlings need to be transplanted – wood still needs to be hauled and the fire still burns…Here’s a peek into what we’ve been up to as well as a look around what surrounds us …
Finn helping to gently turning the soil, then spreading locally collected seaweed…
Spring cleaning time…washed pots for transplanting, drying in the sun…recycled from the transfer station, of course.
Finn is never one to sit and watch, so he filled the pots with potting soil…
Mission accomplished…
A few parsley plants being transplanted…
Next, morning glories…
Tulips just beginning to open outside our front door…
Lichen ever growing on rocks in the back.
Lilac blooms in the fog.
Spinach growing in the backyard garden.
And the centuries old Linden tree, standing tall in the original ‘front yard’… apple trees ’round the back. Early one foggy evening…
Peonies pushing up…I love peonies.
Spring in Maine.
Foggy, misty, cool, warm, sunny, breezy, calm … fire still burns through the night.
Ahhhh, spring…
Enjoy the weekend and Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!!!!! xo
thank you
I hope you have a lovely Mothers Day with your family. My husband and I have a summer cottage in Naples, Maine and were up last week. The gardens are just coming to life. It sounds like you live in a nice spot with apple trees and a old Linden tree. We have a couple hundred year old Linden as well at our home in New Hampshire.
What a beautiful ‘Spring’ post!
Happy Mother’s Day 😀
thank you – happy mother’s day to you too – though, not sure when it is in Australia…(:
Looking great, a fantastic time of the year 🙂
Thank you! Yes, it is, albeit the impending arrival of the mosquitos! (:
