Our beautiful flowers are all out in bloom in the UK but days of torrential rain has flattened them all, especially load bearing plants like lupins who couldn't take the strain of being heavily saturated.
Rose bushes are hanging their heads like jilted lovers!
After a terrific heatwave, we are now back to wearing jumpers and putting the heating on!

Spring has sprung here and flowers are out and looking pretty. The roses are going well so far too. The weather is back and forth a lot, though, so you tend to snatch at an afternoon to get a bit of weeding done.

So far I hate this new site. My avatar is butchered! I tried to click on statement of faith to no avail. I can't tell a lower case L from an uppercase I.
It certainly is a change and I am slowly adjusting. As they say, change is rarely for the better.

I haven't been in CF for some time, but so far, it's looking ok for me on my laptop.

Yes, I find it no problem on the laptop, but my phone doesn't like the new format at all.

It is winter here in the UK and not too cold. The worst of the weather comes after Christmas.
I have a gardener now my husband has died, and he is so helpful. The lawn is trimmed, and Scarborough lilies, pink and some red, brighten up a winter's day.

Yes, I read about your husband, and I am very sorry that happened. I hope you are journeying well, under the circumstances. :hug:

Those lilies are lovely and such a beautiful colour, mp. So good to have colour in the garden in winter time. I'm glad you have a gardener chap to take care of the heavier work for you. My husband or my son, who lives with us, cuts the lawns here, thankfully. It's been warmer here, but our weather is very volatile at the moment. It's been rare to have a full day of warm sunshine and no wind at all.

it has been grey today after a misty start and fairly warm. The acers in the garden provide colour and the Scarborough lilies.
I have 3 Christmas cactus in full flower, I must take a photo tomorrow.

We've had rain and wind these last few days. I managed to snatch an hour or so in the garden yesterday, but generally, it's been horrid out there. Typical Spring weather for us. I do love a colourful garden. We have a copper beech tree which provides wonderful colour, especially when the sun is shining. It gleams in the sunlight so beautifully. We also have a small weeping japanese maple, with gorgeously coloured foliage at this time of year. :)
