Back home and getting down to organizing and clearing the garden. With our good weather of late, the flowers are needing to be watered . We haven't had rain for so long. The weather man tells us that we will be having some rain this week. We will be welcoming it. Living in the country and agricultural area, the animals, fields newly planted with feed need rain.
The horses are well . Pedro moved them to the west side field yesterday. We should get more growth with the rain. Good for the horses too.
Freddy is happy again with a new yellow tulip plant. Its the first year, I have bought tulips for the garden. They are delicate and new to me. I buy them when possible for the vases. I am hoping to get more bulbs planted for next spring, and hope they do well in the Alentejo weather.
Wishing you all a happy Sunday with family and friends.
To friends in England, happy Mothering Sunday. We have different dates here.
Val
Dear Val, Your garden roses look very promising. I remember a special yellow rose from last year. I will be looking forward to seeing it again this year.
ReplyDeleteHello Gina,

DeleteSeeing your post headed Mid-March brought me up with a start, just where is year going, nearly 3 months already.
ReplyDeleteLovely red roses that you have bought Val, may they flourish and do really well for you.
Its scary Rosemary,
DeleteAlready well into March.
I am enjoying the miniature roses, they give a happy feeling and thoughts of more flowers showing their blooms.
Thanks for coming over. x
The roses look so pretty on the table. I cannot wait for spring either and work out in the yard again.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty. The roses make me happy as I am waiting for my bushes to show their blooms.
ReplyDeleteVal, your red roses are beautiful. Yes, it's time for cleaning and sprucing up around here too. My husband just started a garden, and I can't wait to plant flowers soon. We can use more rain in our area, that's for sure. Your little frog looks sweet sitting there by the tulips.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week, Val.
love, ~Sheri
Everything looks so nice. I'm thinking about planting some new roses this year if the snow ever melts!
ReplyDeleteDear Val, your red roses look splendid. I find that our roses enjoy the sunshine, but like a good drink also. It is a matter of getting the balance right, and you seem to have a gift for it. Beautiful skies, as you go into Spring. x
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see spring and the roses in your garden. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteVal, everything is looking so lovely. It looks like you have been working and sprucing up around all ready. Love those little red roses..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more beautiful than roses with their tight buds. They love the sunshine! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking wonderful already, Val. Here spring is only slowly arriving and roses are just a future dream. :)
ReplyDeleteRoses are early in your area, here they won’t come out until early May I think. We do have plenty of daffodils and other flowers. I like your pictures of the horses – they must be happy that it is spring and mild weather.
ReplyDeleteI'm late to this,Val. Your garden must have advanced even more since you wrote this post. Already so colourful, I imagine that that now it is vibrant!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
