Has Spring Sprung??

Things are coming alive here lately, a few days of rain, sprinklers and warm weather have it all going on.
It’s not spectacular, but it is welcome.

 Miss MDK took these photos in the rain the other day.

She wanted to get the raindrops dripping off the tree but got soaked herself.

 

And today I shot them looking like this.

The flowering plum really is a one hit wonder, blink and its all over!

These guys have flowered all through winter.

 I should strike a billion cuttings and then plant them all around.

The Aloe vera is about to flower.

This is a lovely ground cover that I have put in a hanging basket, It's called Aptenia. I have a few more in punnets that should have been planted last spring, they have survived on an old BBQ on the veranda, still in their punnets so they must be really tough!!

They'll probably die as soon as I finally plant them!!

I'm loooving all the new growth and flowers coming through on the Geraniums too.

Only a couple of snowdrops that have loyally flowered for 15 years.

My new silverbeet has taken OFF.

The roses are leafing up too.

The Celtis Sinensis is in flower.

Mulberry tree is leafing up AND........

Yum

Yum!! Fruiting up too.

New growth on my Eureka lemon trees which have kind of struggled.

So is this a sign they are going OK? I hope so as I love lemons.

My girls are happy and in super laying mode. EXCEPT..... 

Someone laid one on the floor. Either all the boxes were occupied,

 or she got lazy! And then tried to cover up the mistake!

On another note, these niceties arrived this week from absolutelybeautifulthings, check out the beautiful wrapping!

And Inside......

Some more lovely boxes to hold .....

these nice necklaces from redphoenixemporium 

Do you think I might be excited about spring??

I'm off to make a cherry yoghurt cake, and maybe plant some seeds and seedlings.

 Maybe?
