from my bedroom window

garden with a picket fence, large flowering tree, and daffodils

[blank]The valley has changed dramatically this last week, greener everywhere, the garden suddenly started to look luxuriant, yes! spring is really here.  Took these shots from my bedroom window yesterday morning, a slight mist at sunrise was the promise of a fine spring day.  Promise kept.[blank]

The terrace was still damp from the dew, but I ate breakfast outside and enjoyed the quiet, and planned what will go into the potager this year.[blank]

If you’re getting your hands dirty in your garden today,
or simply enjoying the view, I wish you a happy Sunday!

A magnificent view from the bedroom windows. My magnolia has not yet blossomed. Waiting for that day with longing. In the mountains you can see more snow.

I have spent quite a bit of time in Normandy. Unfortunately never in spring. Your photos inspire me to remedy this.

Absolutely beautiful! There is something so wonderful about daffodils – when I brought my oldest child home from the hospital, the daffodils had bloomed in my front yard between the time that I left for the hospital, and the time I came home. I always smile when I see my first daffodil of the year, as it means that spring has finally arrived.

Hoping for something similar here today, but to have your beauty I need to plant a LOT more daffodils. Hope today is just as lovely… and warm!

I do remember the lushness and rolling hills of Normandy. What a wonderful retreat from the world you have there. It looks like something out of a children's story.

Such beautiful views! So much green and the flowers, oh the flowers… I know it took a lot of work for this view, but you are truly blessed.
Things are pretty brown here, but our snowdrops are in bloom and the crocuses are starting to come up. I can't wait for spring this year.

C'est le meilleur moment quand tout s'ouvre…
Bonne semaine,

Off to a tree farm to pick out a few more trees this week. Love the stately oaks…but in Spring the blossoming trees are pure joy. Thanks for the view. Trish

How beautiful to look out and see such stunning beauty! I love your gardens! We have no blossoms yet in Vancouver, B.C. We still hit below zero overnight this week.
