Some people are just blessed.
My niece came for the weekend from far, far away.
Here is my private garden gnome attacking the wasteland that is
my garden.
A couple of days later, there was a cleared patch and some
rounds prepared for my tulips.
She even bought me some winter cheer
which brought the sun out and a butterfly as an added bonus.
Isn't it great that flowers show up every day!
Very sweet. Everyone should have such a niece.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your niece is with you. I love that picture of her in your garden, and now for all those 100's of tulips.
ReplyDeleteHave a marvelous weekend Arija.
Thinking of you.
Lovely blooms and the butterfly is gorgeous. Beautiful photos, have a great weekend.
ReplyDelete...und bald wird Dein Garten ein kleines Parasies sein, danke für diese schönen Bilder liebe Arija...

Claro que es genial, cuando nos gusta la naturaleza, un pequeño guijarro es bello.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely, lovely flowers, delightful butterfly and so wonderful to have a glimpse of color in the dull gray of winter! I'm glad your niece is visiting! Wonderful captures as always, Arija! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!

What a glorious treat to have special company willing to create this beautiful spot of color in your garden.
ReplyDeleteyour gnome is a hard worker...magically, flowers appear!! and then the butterfly!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures!
I just love that whenever I long for another season, I can just visit you and there it is! Thanks for reminding me how very much I do love winter!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday, Arija.
xoxo,
Pamela, and Edward too, of course
Those are the kind of visitors I like best Arija.
ReplyDeleteI love your garden gnome. And could definitely have used her at our overgrown jungly place.
ReplyDeleteAnd the winter cheer was impressive enough before the butterfly added joy.
Caring for a garden is always enjoyable. But having a gnome helper is even better.
ReplyDeleteA very sweet and kind gnome it would seem. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love that little butterfly with its touch of blue.
amazing! i wish i have your niece's green thumb and dedication.:p
ReplyDeleteyou're one lucky aunt!
What a wonderful garden gnome! I want one....
ReplyDeleteHow Sweet!!! I adore flowers and in the months when we do not have any blooming, I like to get fresh ones at the market and have them on display near by. Hugs~
ReplyDeleteOh! I would like a gnome in my garden ... such cheerful creatures.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see those bursts of yellow Arija.
You are so lucky to have flowers in winter!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos...have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat was sweet of your niece to help out with the garden. Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteBautiful pictures, I love this with the butterfly!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that this was such a wonderful thing....family and good friends..that is what life is about... I was so excited that some coreopsis seeds that a garden blogger sent me are coming up across the pond..I posted their beautiful yellow selves....and the roses are blooming also...hugs...
ReplyDeleteDelightful captures.
ReplyDeleteGigantic Flowers
Most of the world is a good lesson to us in that way--if we just show up, most everything else will take care of itself.
ReplyDeleteThx Arja, ob es Clair Matin ist, weiß ich leider nicht, da es den Rosenstock schon gab, als ich eingezogen bin.
ReplyDeleteEs sieht ihr aber sehr ähnlich, ich habe mir gerade Bilder angesehen.

What a great picture of the little butterfly - even if it does seem to be a bit unseasonal!

Looks like the perfect place to be!:)
