Obrigado Megy pelo gentil comentário. Fique seguro e tenha um bom dia. Diane
DeleteThe flowers look great, Diane, all framed so nicely. Stay well. This is a very difficult time for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am just so glad that we do not live in a town and have no garden. Life is not so bad being in lockdown in the country. Hope all is well with you two, Diane
DeleteSuper photos and nice borders to match.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane I am enjoying playing with frames. Hope all is well with you both, take care t'other Diane
DeleteOne more try to post. The pictures are lovely. The lizard seems to an old friend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you managed to post, I wonder why sometimes these things do not work as planned!! I love our lizards. Keep well, Diane
DeleteGorgeous framed spring flowers Diane, the blossoms are so pretty, such a shame they don't last too long. I bet the birds weren't thrilled about the ice on the birdbaths :) Hope you are both keeping well during this mad period, let's hope it is over sooner rather than later. Take care xox
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, so far we have been extra busy with the house, garden etc but suddenly it tried to snow today!! Fire back on and we only went out to feed the birds. Yes, I agree I hope all this will be over soon, but I suspect it is going to drag on longer than we think or hope. Just stay safe, Diane
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful. That is a nice lift to all of us!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Nigel are both still well, and will continue to be.
xoxo
Thanks Sally, flowers are always cheery. Take it easy and stay away from everywhere.... Cheers Diane xox
DeleteSo beautiful, thanks for sharing, cos especially now, when we are staying at home all the time, it's much needed!☺
ReplyDeleteYou are right we need cheering up. So thankful that we have a garden, it must be very difficult for those in small flats. Stay safe, Diane
DeleteOH WOW....such beautiful blooms. Looks like spring is busting out all over.
ReplyDeletePam spring appeared to be busting out all over and then today it tried to snow. Not sure what it is going to do to all the fruit trees that were in flower!! Keep well Diane
DeleteMother Nature needs her meds.
DeleteOh all these colors give me so much joy and peace! Thank you very much for sharing these to us and it seems like spring is already making its beautiful rounds! (We only have Summer and Rainy here :) )
