The first cut is the sweetest

As you may have spotted on Monday our sweet furry grandson came to stay at the weekend and he helped me in the garden. I was pleased to give my lawn its first cut...how amazing is that smell of freshly mown grass...wow it takes me back through my whole life...from childhood, right through to present times.

I'm not sure if you could really say that Bear "helped"....

 He did a fair bit of broom chasing....

 and gave no help with the sweeping up.

However who can get cross with the gorgeous boy

and he's rather photogenic isn't he 😍

So my lawn is now neat and tidy and all ready for spring.
I also have a garden of flowers indoors as well as outdoors with these gorgeous flowers my children sent me for Mother's day.

So my card to day had to be something bright and colourful.

The stamped sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I white embossed Tim Holtz' Lady Rose stamps and then added distress inks in a rainbow. The butterflies are Visible Image which I black embossed and fussy cut out. The greenery are Tim Holz greenery Thinlets.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Thanks so much for visiting me and for taking the time to leave your kind comments. Enjoy the last few days of this week. The sunshine has disappeared today but we are promised one more sunny today tomorrow, fingers crossed.  I will be back on Saturday, as goodness me, it will be 1st April and time for my next Country View DT post!

Bye for now,
