MAY!! Hurray!!

looks Superb - I am not so much celebrating this Awful May though

we had frost lastnight karen, not good but sunshine here today :o))

I know, I know, it's pretty darned awful, but May is my favourite month and I am determined to enjoy it. I realised this morning that all I've done for over a month is moan...but the plants are growing in spite of the cold and if I can't be cheerful in May, then it's going to be a bad, bad summer.....so......I'm trying to see the positives. Today i had to take Rachel to Dundee, and all along the bypass....cherry blossom, new leaves, and rhodys in flower...just stunning...and that is on a busy dual carriageway....so I shall be happy whenever the sun shines and I can see the MAYNESS! :)))

well 1996 May was cold - not this cold and we had a very hot summer counrty wide

lol karen your right i love the blossoms to and everything comming to life :o))
hope we do have nice summer paul :o)

Was looking at pics from this time last year and the irises were in flower and lupins and the hawthorn paul scarlet ....

this time last year I was hoping for rain and so warm
couldn't sleep!

yes, it's a little 'delayed' Dawn.....pity isn't it. Still....

thanks Homebird. I am enjoying it very much as slowly it comes to life!

Beautiful!

I thought you were talking about May blossom being out!! ours is on the verge, a couple more days, and perhaps some sun....please, your garden is looking good though in spite of the poor weather.

Thank you Homebird. The roofs do look blue don't they...but they are grey, and some are terracotta. It makes taking photos very hard as the houses are glary in the sunshine! :))

Your garden is looking pristine Karen;0)

I love May too. Your garden looks really nice and very colourful despite all the cold weather.

Cold, grey and windy May here today I'm sorry to say. Some of the stuff in my greenhouse hasn't moved in over a week now...just frozen in time :(

It is supposed to be warming up this week though. Watch the plants grow once it does warm up, we shall be chopping them back in no time at all.

I'll believe it when I see it. I so hope you are right!

It must soon get warmer it must must must.

Hmmm....perhaps in England, but not necessarily here...last June/July? nuff said! :(

Lovely photo Karen (not mentioning May so far)

looking lovely Karen...

Your garden always looks lovely, karen , whatever the season.

Thank you all. Its really kind of you to say it looks good, however, I just really need to be 'out there' at this time of year and today was really wintry again. Yesterday...pity I didn't have my camera....we went to Brechin and half way there the heavens opened with so much hail and snowy sleet that the fields were white!! It was unbelieveably horrible!

Annie, I pm'd you...bet you haven't noticed! :))))

I have but MUST empty the washing machine first or I wont bother Lol!

lol....I know what you mean! x
