When the heavy rain and stormy winds seen as the precursor of storm Eowen made way for a sunny afternoon I rambled around the garden perusing plants in search of signs of Spring.
Those I pictured bear their titles in this gallery.
I spent the rest of the afternoon learning more about ‘The Brontës’.
This evening we dined on tempura prawns and spring rolls on Jackie’s colourful savoury rice; and tender runner beans, with which I finished the merlot.
Your garden is always the first to tell us Spring is on the way.
Thank you very much, GP
Promising photos.
Bomb cyclone Éowyn is on it’s way. We have been adviced to stay inside tomorrow evening.
Thank you very much, Rupali
Spring is busting out all over at your place!!
hank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Such beautiful harbingers of spring! I don’t think we’ll see them for a while here.
Thank you very much, Merril
Spring? It doesn’t feel as if we have had summer here yet. It’s been soooo windy.
We are getting the winds tomorrow. Thanks very much, Gwen
I confess to a bit of jealousy about your flowers. We’ve got a month of possible snow yet. 🙂
Thank you so much, Julie
Judging by the flowers, Derrick, you are ready to welcome spring. The pink Camelia is precious.
Thank you so much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
I am extremely envious Derrick. We had some more snow last night. The ground is frozen, and we won’t be seeing any spring growth for a couple of more months to come.
Thank you so much, Zakiah
Ah the joys of a sheltered garden in the New Forest. We have no spring flowers here in Berkshire.
Thank you very much, Kim
It is always a treat to see how the other half lives. Spring? Ha!
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
The first signs bring so much joy.
Thank you very much, Gary
Lovely blooms as always Derrick. What do you call thd flowers in the first photo?
Thanks very much, Arlene. Primulas
Signs of Spring. I am jealous.
hank you very much, Pat
Yay!
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
Such beauty in your gardens. Mine are resting waiting for warmer weather.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
We are about halfway through winter here and everything seems brown, but you’ve done a wonderful job finding signs of spring!
Thank you so much, JoAnna
It’s only January! Wow, we live in such different climes! Beautiful, Derrick.
Thank you so much, Dale
Beautiful little flowers Derrick. How appropriate for Jackie to have “spring” rolls for dinner.
I hadn’t twigged that, Diane. Thank you very much
So sweet, so pretty! They just “scream” spring! 🙂 Difficult to pick a fave…but, I’ve always loved primroses!
HA! when I read spring rolls for your meal, I grinned! 🙂
Too cold here for flowers the past 3+ months. I think all the flowers went south. We’ll see them again come March and April. 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
🙂 I hadn’t spotted the spring rolls link. Thanks very much, Carolyn XX
How lovely to see signs of spring, Derrick. I feel it will a while before the loveliness of spring will show up in our area.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Beautiful, as always. You seem to be well ahead of us.
The North South divide. Thank you very much, Susan
I love your gardens! It looks like spring there already!
Thank you very much, Lavinia
Absolutely beautiful! Hope you are coping with the gales. What a day we’re having.
The worst has passed us by, Sue. Thank you very much
Looking promising
Thanks very much, Sheree
Wonderful. There are always a few who weather the cold to remind us that Spring is just around the corner! I have green daffodils pushing up through and it has been int he teens F this week!
Thanks very much, Dwight
You are welcome.
So beautiful!
Thank you so much, Riba
It catches my attention that this storm was named for a Tolkien character at the end of my journey into Tolkien’s world. I can’t say I am happy about any storm though. So pleased that your garden is bringing hopeful messages of future Spring.
Thank you very much, Crystal
