Spring X 2

I love to watch spring unfold - the earth greening and all the flowers budding…

This year I am enjoying it twice!

London in bloom

I stopped to take a deep whiff of this lilac every time we went out the door of City Temple.

My tulips  are a little behind - I’ve seen many  already in bloom across the Island.

Maybe they were waiting for me to come home…

Oh my, beautiful, beautiful spring in England.
And now, just for you, spring in PEI. I'm glad the tulips and daffies waited for you.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi,
It's like you said, It's good to be back again, but so much to do. I hope to get my pictures organized and get something going again.
Did you have good weather. We had two weeks of absolutely beautiful weather. Congratulations on your son's wedding.
Looking forward sharing more memories shortly
