May, Spring and Joy

Her name is Aphrodite. she was born Friday 2 weeks ago.  Pascoa is a wonderful mother and Aunt too.  Those of you who know me, will know that Pascoa is also the mother of Surprise, who looks very similar to mum, but is taller. Aphrodite  is the image of her cousin 'Venus'.. well of course they have the same daddy.

  Look at her legs already.. I took this at 1.45 today.. she tries to eat the grass and stays always with mummy.  
Nature is magical .. Mother nature watches over these beautiful creatures , while they give birth on their own.  When we go out to fill their water trough , there is another addition.  Truly amazing.

                             Here is Rosie , with Venus - Venus has white socks.. thats how I know the difference, otherwise they are like twins.

                                          Aphrodite  lying down.. and Venus standing.  Both April  babies.

Our weather here is superb.   I have the windows open and the fresh afternoon breeze is coming. The birds are twittering, the butterflies are flitting from flower to flower.  

I do love Spring.  At this stage of my life, I think I like it better than all the other months.

It seems, that all things are good and people are smiling and happy, with a feeling of Hope.

An excitement of what future days will bring us.

I always promised me a rose garden.

 Along with the beautiful spring sunshine.. my rose bushes are all in full bloom.. new buds arriving each day.

Happiness is.

                      Pink, yellow, deep yellow with a touch of orange, white, and deeper pink

                                             pinks and reds - very large blooms

     I split most of my daisies earlier this year in Jan.. and now they are coming along so well.  I am trying to get as many colors as I can.  There are some lovely daisies out there.. So it might be a trip to the nursery one of these days.

                                                  I love these daisies.. they are a pink with a touch of orange.

                                                       My big yellow daisy bush.. it needs tons of water.  Below a lilac daisy.. I planted last year and has really taken off.. I like to see them amongst the rose bushes.

To all of my dear blogging friends, who left comments on my last blog.. Thank you for passing by. I do appreciate reading all your kind comments.

 
Its been a busy few weeks for me, and at this time of the year I spend more time in the garden.

I will be away next week in Lisbon.   I have to see my Neurosurgeon.. checking up on my back and hip.. not been too good of late.  Thats enough of illness.     I am well and enjoying spring.

                                                  This beautiful red rose is for my dear blogging friend.
                                                                     Sheri. - @ Red Rose Alley.
                                     Sheri, I know how you love this rose and always comment on it when I show it.

                 Happiness and Love, to all my dear blogging friends.
