SUNNY, HAPPY DAYS!

ALL PICTURES: SOPHIA HOME

Tuesday already, and although a little windy and cloudy today, I can still feel the benefits of the glorious weekend that just passed….



Brilliant blue sky and warm sunshine, found my husband and I super busy in the garden with the first mow of the season, and the ongoing task of weeding and preparing all the beds.  The greenhouse is in full swing now, with Dahlias on the go and the first seeds that are happy unheated but under glass, sown and under way….




Our beautiful Oak in the paddock is yet to bud, but  is surrounded with the ring of Daffodils that we planted while building the house six years ago….


An owl box….installed many years ago by the previous owner here….waiting to see if anyone will move in this year?  Last year, we were finally blessed for the first time, with a resident 'Little Owl', a small species of owl that unlike others, is actually awake during the day…..let's hope he returns?



The pond very full from the winter's relentless rain….a project that we are planning for the future, with ideas for some beautiful water's edge planting, and maybe a deck area and summer house to one end?  





One of many of our plans….we do love a project!



I do hope you too have been enjoying the early Spring weather….and any projects that you have started or have planned?


ANOTHER MEMBER OF OUR HOUSEHOLD ENJOYING SUNDAY'S SUNSHINE….


Wishing you a happy and inspiring week!

  1. Hi Sophia
    Love the ring of Daffodils around the Oak tree! We are enjoying some cooler Autumn mornings and evenings after a very long hot Summer. It sure sounds like a very busy time for you in your lovely garden. Happy Spring!
    Fond regards
