early morning in a normandy garden

Whilst waiting for the coffee to drip this morning I was gazing out of the kitchen window and suddenly became aware of how much newness had appeared, seemingly overnight.


I grabbed my lumix and headed out the door to capture the blossoming fruit trees 
and a beautiful blue hyacinth for the soul.

This pretty blue and white variegated primula with a bright yellow eye
could get any party started!

  2. Spring is in the air. It doesn't help allergies, but I love the smell of all of the flowers. I think I am going to have a container of flowers that will set on my steps small enough that I can take care of it. I just have to decide what I want to put into it. It will give me another reason to be outside and enjoy the fresh air. We are starting another rainy day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley@shirleystitches

  3. Hi dear Maggie - how right you are about the lightning effect in the garden lately - a few days of warmth and sunshine, a sprinkling of rain, and everything lightens and brightens with blossom and color. The pollen? I won't even go there!!
    I love blue hyacinths, my favorite by far, and those blue primulas are fabulous, must find some for next year. They make me think of blue and white transferware, a favorite ironstone of course.

    Enjoy today my dear and may the week ahead be full of springtime joys.
    Love, Mary

  9. Things do change so quickly in the spring! We have had a cold March and then lots of rain and dreary days yet suddenly the greening is appearing everywhere!

    Lovely flowers you have in your shots :)

  12. These are wonderful pictures from your garden, Maggie! I love seeing new buds and blooms. :) Hyacinths are the most fragrant flower, aren't they? Just like perfume. All looks lovely, and your primroses are charming.

    Visiting from Mosaic Monday -- have a great week!
