Spring!

Spring is here! Maybe only according to the calendar though, because we didn't get the warm day the Bureau was promising us a few days ago. However there was sunshine and some hyacinths:

I planted the hyacinth bulbs around the base of the Cercis canadensis "Lavender Twist" tree I was given for my birthday, and the very next day a diggy dog (Dot) dug up a few of them. That's why there is wire over them!


Elsewhere on the block today, the arbour last seen back in May is now (virtually) finished. The climbing Lorraine Lee rose which was also a birthday present is planted at the base of the near post:

It is leafing out and beginning to grow. Once it has grown up a bit it won't need the wire around it to protect it from wallabies.

Here's week fourteen of my year quilt:
Not fully sewn yet.
