The Winner and My Garden

and the winner is
Susan  of Penless Writer
I am so glad that Susan won this give away as life is very difficult for her at the moment having just lost a dear daughter

Apparently our Spring was the dryest and hottest since records began in 1556
I'll share with you some random photos from my garden from this week. At the moment it is raining and I am sure the blooms are dancing! 


























I am sure everything will look fresher and there will be more blooms after the rain which is forecast for tomorrow too

You have one big beautiful garden. Love the roses too, something I want to start adding to ours. Thanks for the tour!

The roses and, in fact, the entire garden looks wonderful. I'm sure they appreciate good old-fashioned rainfall, though I know that you keep them all happily watered. It's just nice not to have to every day. Wow! That's a long hot, dry spell. Amazing how the weather is so dissimilar from place to place. Obviously, all the rain was spent somewhere else. I'm thinking in my corner. Congrats to your winner...how very sad it must be to lose a beloved daughter.

Hottest and driest since 1556. Wow That's a long time. Here in Canada records go back only a bit more than 100 year. No roses open yet on my few bushes. Mary H

That is a long history of record keeping! Your garden is beautifully blooming despite the heat and dryness. It looks quite lush to my eyes.

This post and the previous on on London remind me of our visit to England three years ago--walking in just those places!

Your garden is fully in bloom - such pretty roses. I hope the rain has freshened things up for you.

The roses are beautiful! Your gardens look well established and your flowers seem so happy there. They look great! Thank you for linking to the garden tour! Hopefully as the weeks go on more people will learn about it and link up!

It is a beautiful garden - full of flowers! It is raining here now - much needed, of course, so I am not minding the cold grey day.

Trisha said...

Wow, now that's a flower garden! Don't know how you keep it looking so beautiful. You've had a dry spring, and we have had a wet one, but your flowers are much prettier than mine. So glad Susan won your give away. Have a Blessed and glorious day!

Hi Barbara,
I just found your blog and I'm so happy to 'meet' another Christian blogger! Your garden is simply beautiful and I love how you share about the Lord Jesus on your blog; refreshing! I would love to have you stop by for a visit, perhaps join me for a cup of tea. Have a lovely day.

Blessings,
Sandi

Your Roses are Breathtaking! You must have a lot of weeding to do...Her in WA State, we get a lot of rain and sun in the spring and things grow like overnight! Hope weeds slow down soon!

Linda said...

Your garden looks fabulous. I know what hard work gardening is. You've done a great job.
