Spring Fling

Hello dear friends, hope you are all having a good week. The weather is certainly getting warmer, as spring comes into full swing. It has been a crazy week at home and at work. My husband is on his second week of school holidays. Besides finishing essays for his Masters in Holocaust studies, he is also in the progress of starting a new garden at home, whch is something I am very excited about. Apart from our projects around the house I am also busy planning my upcoming trip to the US. It will be my first time visiting America and I am looking forward to seeing some of the big cities. Anyway, more on that next time.

Last Sunday we had the most beautiful spring day, and we didn't let the household chores get in the way of having a picnic to enjoy a little spring fling.

Thank you for visiting.

I'm joining Trishie  for  Floral FridaySandi for Tea TimeBernideen for Tea in the Garden

                             So we packed our basket

    At the market we stopped, for some sour dough and grain bread

         Filled our thermos with hot water and milk in the other

     On our way to the park I bought a bunch of this colourful statice bouquet

It is always nice to just relax and enjoy nature and its surroundings

What is a picnic without something sweet for a treat

Crab apple trees, wisterias, magnolias, cherry blossoms were just some of the trees in bloom, filling the air with scent that was almost intoxicating

But what caught my attention was this teeny-weeny baby praying mantis, sitting on this pretty bluebell. Can anyone see it?
