My Garden 2018

I have finally got to posting some photos of my garden this year. Chosen just a few to give some idea of how the year has progressed

Things start to perk up when the Crab Apple blossom starts to open up

and without wishing my life away my thoughts turn to welcoming the Summer roses and more

!

We have over the last two years removed 15 shrubs from the garden in order to make it more manageable as we get older.

Less shrubs for me to prune, but more lawn for Alan to mow. I think I got the best deal!

We got there in the end

Wasn't sure if I would like the open spaces but now that I have got used to them I do

Local Park Throughout the Year

I was walking through the park to the shops the other day and as I saw that the leaves were beginning to fall I thought of the many pictures I had taken throughout the year on my phone showing the different seasons.

So here are some of them.

Above a very frosty one

Spring is in the Air

The good old all season Dogwood

then Summer takes a hold

The wild flower meadow

I liked the different coloured grasses here

and we are back to Autumn

It always fascinates me - the different sunsets at different times of year as the light changes

This one was taken this week

I feel so blessed being able to walk to the shops through this park and it is almost at the top of my road
