Who needs a wash line any, Neil. Looks beautiful

Nancy

Dear Nancy, that is what I said. Sarah was not amused! I told her do you want beautiful scented flowers or your iunderclothes blowing for the neighbours to see!
She went quiet then!
Great to have you Back!
Regards and Hugs.
Neil.

Fantastic bloom on the tree. Type? More & more daffodils blooming along our wall. I will try & find a picture from earlier years, then get it into the computer ha ha. Hospital this morning at 10 am. wish they wanted me earlier--nerves.

Here is some great fun for everyone. A photo contest!
Simply go to the Right Hand side Info Box and underneath Forums & Articles there is the Photo Contests , simply click on that and see the catogeries.
Enter up to 5 photos in each category.
Good Luck!
Neil & Sarah.

Hi Neil, I went to your photo contest and the links don't take you to a place we can post photos except for the Spring Flowers link, which allows you to post photos for Best Picture or Best Species Picture. (So the links to Best Picture, Best Species Picture, and Best Description don't allow us to post photos). I hope that makes sense!

Dear Brenda, problem solved. Thank you for telling me though what an idiot I am!
There are now three categories OK!
Building a Database, which I have never done before , and it is making me go crazy!
Regards.
Neil.

You are NOT an idiot... I haven't even attempted many of the features you've already put to use! You are learning very quickly if you ask me!

Dear all, Cherie has written her first Article called A Weekend Pond!
Also don't forget the photo contest please, we cannot judge anything if there is nothing at all on it, like now!
Here is Cherie's Article: A Weekend Pond! Click here

And a great article it was. Thanks, CC!

Thought I'd share a spring bloom or two with you....

From my back deck, apple blossoms, redbud and Japanese maple....

And the view from the other side...wisteria

And of course...the yard is covered in dandelions.

You have great photos, Neil....very lovely at your house.

Here's the wisteria in its entirety, hiding behind the holly tree that the birds planted some time ago.

Dear Sharon, thank you your photos are lovely too. Ar you entering the photo contest? I am not allowed to put any of mine in, so it would be nice if someone entered or I we will have nothing to judge!
Here is my tree fern photo everyone liked! Sue (kniphofia) has voted and put a message on, which is nice!
Regards.
Neil.

Thank you Sharran...... I was a bit intimidated when Neil let me know you had read what I wrote. Your such a great writer and all.

Love the wisteria, No more room for vines..........besides they don't bloom well this far north.

Love the apple blossoms, redbud and the Japanese Maple together. Beautiful.

Several small trillium in bloom.

Ahhhhhh...my first tulip...

CC, I liked what you wrote. I'm just waiting patiently for the next chapter.

Your more patient than I am I fear. I have hammering on Ed since he came home. We need to finish before plants come in and need to be planted. I know I'm just beating my head against the wall for the more I nag and hammer, the more he grinds his heels in. I want it all done last week!

Thank you Sharran from you and your expertise which I have read since 2004, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sweet, CC..thank you.

I've admired you and Critter and couple of others whose names escape now for all your articles. Iwas convinced I could do it and really wanted to see if I could.

And you did!
A very good job, too.

Here's my front yard wisteria...you have already seen the one in the back yard.

Thanks Sharran that really means a lot coming from you and Neil too. He's the one who convinced me to try when I was really against the idea. And to give credit where credit is do, Neil helped me out a LOT with his fine tuning and fixing my mistakes when I goofed. Without him there to watch my back, I'd have fell flat on my face.
