Sunny garden

Finally, the weather has turnt bad again (after 2 amazing weeks full of warmth & sunshine), the garden definitely needs this break, me too, if only to update my blog!! Although I must admit that the rainy Sunday was already enough for me... it can stop now :)

Rainy & grey it is today, so I decided to cheer you up with some sunny pictures of our garden. What do you think? Sounds like a good idea?? Ok, here we go then:

The (very late planted bulbs of) tulips did a good job this year! 

 Lots of pink & purple in the back yard but...

 lots of blue, yellow and white in the front yard :)

An overview of our back yard
Remember what it looked like before winter? Have a look: here

 As you can see, working in the garden is a tough job...

Last week I also visited 2 beautiful nurseries in the south.

Made some pictures, but somehow, I don't manage to upload them.

Will keep on trying & write a post about them later!

And now let's keep our fingers crossed that the beautiful sunshine will return very soon!!

Have a great week!

Bulbs...

I bought them weeks ago (or maybe even months ago) and finally found the time today to plant them: tulip bulbs! A little late, but I think it should do... It's not that cold yet.

And my garden definitely needs tulips, because, what is a  Dutch garden without tulips in springtime?

I planted different varieties and mainly pink, fuchsia & purple colours,

and could absolutely not resist the 'black hero' and the 'queen of the night'...

Aren't they just beautiful? Let's hope they will all appear in Spring!

So fingers crossed till April/May please :)

Now that this is finally done, I'll go on to the next 'assignment':

Christmas decorations :)

Playing Christmas songs in the background and 

drinking hot chocolate with melted marshmellows

or some mulled wine (depending on the time of the day).

So, what are your plans for the weekend?

Wishing you all a nice & sunny one
& have fun decorating!!
