Just a few more weeks....

                                 I keep telling myself ...it wont be long now...
                            just another few weeks..well, ok maybe seven or eight and the garden centres will start to pop up everywhere...like they never left in the first place..
                  It only takes one to make me forget the long winter we have had...the snow, the ice and those bitter winds !
                            I will buy some thyme...some rosemary....mint and maybe even a pot of parsley. Just a few more weeks...

  1. The Daffodils
    William Wordsworth, 1770 - 1850

    I wandered lonely as a cloud
    That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
    When all at once I saw a crowd,
    A host, of golden daffodils;
    Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
    Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

    Continuous as the stars that shine
    And twinkle on the Milky Way,
    They stretched in never-ending line
    Along the margin of a bay:
    Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
    Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

    The waves beside them danced, but they
    Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
    A Poet could not but be gay,
    In such a jocund company:
    I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
    What wealth the show to me had brought:

    For oft, when on my couch I lie
    In vacant or in pensive mood,
    They flash upon that inward eye
    Which is the bliss of solitude;
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils.


    Soon!~Dona

  2. I live in the Phoenix area and our Rosemary bush is so huge, I must take a picture of it. I snip away at it constantly. I love having sprigs of Rosemary in the kitchen.

    I remember waiting for Spring when I lived in the Midwest...the smell of Spring...there is nothing like it.

  3. Oh this feels like me here.... So my style, so my passion.
    I too have Rosemary growing in my garden, so bushy and full, as I water on these warmer days here in Southern California, the aroma is released and nothing smells quite like its beauty.

    Love your photos, will soon return for more.
