The final and largest flowering cherry has been out for weeks but is now getting its leaves and carpeting the ground with pink. As the wind blows pink snow wafts thru the air and into every corner.
The white alstromeria below it is thriving and very pickable.
The big gardening project at the moment is removing more agapanthus from this very long curving garden bed.
The new edging and lawn looks established now and so much neater and easier to care for.
As with any big garden there is still lots to do. ( like pick asparagus and blueberries! )

Last weekend we had our bonfire ( of garden rubbish ) down on our bottom lawn beside the estuary. Son was able to get some fireworks still ( but maybe not in the future ) and the boys and some friends enjoyed it all.

Now for a book recommendation. I have just finished reading"The Frozen River, " by Ariel Lawhon.
Its a gripping historical novel based on the life of Martha Ballard , set in Maine USA in the late 1700s.
This amazing woman and midwife delivered over a thousand babies in her 35 years and kept a diary of it all. She never lost a baby or a mother. She traveled on horseback through mud and snow , day or night.
Such an amazing story.
