Upon the onset of spring

Coming towards the end of winter, there was a slight changed in temperature. From moderate to warm, sunset seems later and sunrise is quicker. Looking around me the previously dull areas of the garden are now brimming with colours and textures. Spring has finally sprung! Driving along the main road, I was pleased to see colourful gazanias lined along the footpath. A variety of flowering plums and cherries parading their most vibrant blooms. Flowers make me happy, they bring cheer and joy to my innermost soul. I try to surround myself with the things which make me happy and flowers are one of them.

Couple of weeks ago, my friend and her husband came over for afternoon tea before they flew to Bali for a relaxing holiday. I've been so busy that I didn't have a chance to share their photos. Nonetheless, I'm sharing them now.
My daughter and I prepared some sandwiches, baked lemon tart and cupcakes. It was indeed a pleasant afternoon as we chatted, nibbling on some goodies, sipping our favourite tea till dusk joined us.
I'm sharing some photos of our garden, what's blooming and what-not, from orchids to the quince trees, my senses filled with beauty. I also picked some veggies and stir-fried them for our lunch before I sat down and logged in to my blog. Hope you enjoy the photos.

So what's happening in your neck of the woods?

Thank you lovely friends for visiting and leaving your sweet comments. It sure makes my day and blogging worthwhile.
