I just can't get over how quickly spring has arrived this year after such a hard winter. It's like someone opened a trapdoor and let out all the greenery in one flush. The other morning I was sat looking out of the kitchen window and realised all the leaves were out in view when only 2 weeks ago there were merely twigs, amazing! This weekend, all the borders have filled out and my cherry tree is in blossom
The weeping silver birch has burst it's buds (this tree was in a pot at our wedding)
The geranium I planted beneath this tree only a month or so ago has romped away as is now in flower
and my special white tulips are in full bloom, I don't remember the variety but they have spiked tips which give them an unusual shape. Wish I had jotted down their name now!
Even my lilac tree looks like it will bloom tomorrow, which happened many weeks later last year.
So it really feels like May already, which leaves me to fear a little the coming weeks of weather, will it return to a chilly damp spring like last year?
