I LOVE floral gardens!!! Manito Gardens here in my city of Spokane, WA is quite beautiful on the lower south side. Butchart Gardens in Canada is pretty spectacular, as is Queen Elizabeth Gardens located in Canada.
Still a bit chilly for a picnic here. How about a nice nature walk and a thermos of tea?

I'll bring a thermos of each. It was a blustery, rainy day here. My garden has exploded into bloom in the last 2 days. Some hyacinths but mostly daffodils. Maybe tomorrow the tulips will open. Those are caged to keep them "safe." My cherry tree is pushing a few flowers but looks anemic. The weather is supposed to stay above freezing the next 10 days but mostly because it's rain. rain. rain.

The high today here was 66 F. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 78 F. That is about the perfect temperature for me. My lilacs are blooming and my kangaroo paws are looking great. My three tulips were here and gone in a matter of days. I do enjoy this time of year. Normally my fibromyalgia doesn't act up as much as other times of year but the weather has fluctuated so much it has been crazy. But thee beauty is still beautiful! God bless you Pixi. It's always a joy to chat with you. nlb
God bless you all.
