A Breath of Spring.

For a few hours today we had blue skies and sunshine, a breath of spring gently wafting over the garden.
I mooched around tidying here and there, stopping to take photographs of emerging primroses,crocuses and daffodils and getting dirt under my fingernails.


Bliss!

I'm joining Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday

  1. I've brought home lots of primulas, but those in the garden aren't yet showing any colour. We had a tiny bit of sunshine yesterday, but the rain has persisted. I keep on thinking of how grateful we'll be, in July, to have had all this rain!

  3. Maggie,

    I don't think there is anything sweeter than a primrose. They used to bloom under my lilac trees. Glad you are mooching about outside.

  4. I'm so happy that you have some blooms already, how pretty. It won't be until April before we warm up and the daffodils and tulips come up. A very long winter indeed!

    XO,

  5. Maggie, I am so happy to hear that the weather is getting better over there. My sister-in-law who lives in Paris with her family is getting very sick of winter!

    Enjoy these lovely spring-time moments!

    Best wishes always,
    Natasha.

    PS Thank you so much for your sweet messages over the last few weeks. Your kindness and bloggy friendship has meant a lot to me!

  9. Maggie, thanks for sharing your emerging spring color. Everything here looks dead. My primroses and cyclamen are mush after the recent snow. I'm waiting for the daffodils to peek through. ~ Sarah

  15. Maggie, you seem to be way ahead of us this year. I saw primroses yesterday, but only in the grocery store.

    Have a great day!

  16. I can't wait until I see flowers starting to pop up in my garden! It will probably be another month before that happens, though!

  17. Maggie I am really happy to meet you. It is exciting to see that you are living in Normandy. My partner in our business Metis Linens has a house in Burgandy in Beaune. We are headed there for a buying trip in May.
