It has been a while; much has happened and we were very busy. We had a death in the family (I will post later about that), organized an early christmas dinner and had a wedding to prepare for (as guests, that is). Last weekend I finally had some time to do some work in our garden again. I planted lots of bulbs! Just in time; they were already starting to grow while they were waiting in the shed.. It felt so good doing work in the garden again! This is the first autumn/winter I collected all the leaves that have fallen from the trees and left them in our garden, under the shrubs and trees. It's supposed to be good for the garden, the soil, the animals. So what's not to like? Last weekend I noticed that under all these leaves lots of stuff is happening. Plants/bulbs are growing but it's not visible yet because it's hidden under the leaves. Birds like to forage under the leaves as well. I guess my dear friends (not) the snails enjoy the warmth in the chilly winter there as well... I put up some extra food for the birds in the trees. I also put up christmas lights in the chinese (or is it japanese) cherry blossom tree. This tree is in bloom right now with lovely pink flowers and it looks so delicate and wonderful. I like the fact that we have a tree and some plants that are blooming in winter. I also added some wreaths with berries that the birds pick constantly. I don't mind. I have not taken many photos lately (so busy..) but will try and do so again. Here are some I made last months.
From late summer sun ....
To autumn rain and hail....
To winter!
And to last weekend...
Have a nice week!
