My magnolia in my garden is bursting with pink blooms. It is the only tree I have room for..I love it despite the fact that the blooms are short lived.
Billy and I were able to enjoy lunch in the garden on Monday.
He loves rolling around on the patio..and getting very gritty!
My hard work planting up my pots in the garden with spring bulbs last autumn has paid off and the daffs are gorgeous.
The winter violas are still hanging on too
and look what I spied...
Yes.....my tulips are pushing up and should be in bloom very soon.
I love this time of the year, the birds are singing, the bees start buzzing and you can almost hear the flowers growing.
I have been taking down some last Mother's day cards to Dotty's as it is Mother's day here in the UK on Sunday. My card today is one of them.
The image is my old Nicecrane digi, the stamped sentiment is Clearly Besotted. The dies are Cheery Lynn, Marianne and Memory Box.
It is for sale at Dotty's Teahouse, Carshalton, SM5 2AE

Your Magnolia is gorgeous. My little one I bought at Wisley has some leaf shoots I think but it's too small for flowers yet - can't wait. Great card for Mother's Day. Happy Wednesday xxx
