This morning I deleted from my iPhotos all the images from
and from
The garden today is Springlike.
Having taken in the general scene from our upstairs windows, I wandered around delighting in some individual blooms. Each of these images bears a title in the gallery.
This afternoon I watched the Women’s Six Nations rugby match between England and Italy.
Our dinner this evening consisted of roast duck and chicken pieces; boiled new potatoes; firm carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, with which I finished the Kimbao wine.
Beautiful spring, you can never hold back spring, Derrick

I always admire not only the beauty, but also, the variety in your garden. I like the Ali Baba pot, too.
Thank you very much, Merril
Just so beautiful.
Thank you very much, Rupali
Looking good. Hope the two of you are keeping well.

Your spring garden is thriving!
Lovely Spring garden and Sunday dinner.
Thank you very much, Pat
The garden looks fabulous from upstairs, guys!
Chicken and broccoli, a perfect pairing! 
I always enjoy the garden views from above and especially appreciate the perspective of #4 showing the paths coming out from the center. The flower close ups are beautiful. The Daffodils in Ali Baba pot are my favorite.
Thank you so much, JoAnna
The beauty of spring. Such blooms Derrick.

Thank you very much, Carolyn XX
Why did you delete the pictures from the iPhone?
Not from iPhone – from iPhotos because there are almost 60,000. Thanks very much, Ilze
ha ha ha – that is what I see – iPhone instead of iPhoto Not using iPhotos – like Lightroom
Beautiful views of the garden.
Thank you very much, Sue
These look like views of a fantasy land.
Thank you so much, GP
So…where are the Hobbits?
There must be some somewhere
That’s what I figured!
So beautiful! Y’all work so hard to keep it lovely. Please give Jackie special kudos from me for maintaining it so attentively. People thousands of miles away are encouraged and uplifted by the beauty of your gardens; and thank you so much, Derrick, for photographing, uploading, and posting! ~Ed.
Will do. Much appreciated, Ed
Such as gorgeous garden. Thank you for sharing this gem.
Much appreciated, Sherry
I loved the scenes from the upper window, which show the layout of the gardens. Pansies and Tete-a-Tete daffodils in spring are among my favorites, though it is hard to pick favorites when I love them all.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
From your upstairs window, the garden looks clean and ready from the spring growth. Kudos to the Head Garden and her assistants!
Thank you so much, Rosaliene
I never tire of looking at images of your garden!
Thank you very much, Dale
