Garden goodness

Hope you appreciate that I had to scale the climbing frame one handed to take this photo of my favourite garden corner right now.

I love this patch and the Alliums are perfect.

Got so enthused that I was forced to go to the garden centre and buy even more plants. Here's the chief hole digger of the house ready to get stuck in and plant them.

I felt really sad the other day when one of my blog-chums thought I only had one son. Guess my posts are a bit Mark heavy - get used to it Johnny, that's being the second child for you!


But just to even things up, here's a photo of Johnny doing what he's always doing when I'm creating...

Love you Johnny-bean.

It's so much fun to see a spring garden when winter is about to start.

Aleeping kids - nothing more beautiful in the whole world.

I have the same thing with my boys, for me the youngest is more interested in what I do, so he gets mentioned the most. The eldest is an 'inventor', so I'm of little interest!

Could your boys be any cuter? And your garden...mmmmmm. Heavenly.

I know, I know, my second got sort of neglected, then when the third came along, he was the baby so #2 got neglected even more! It's that middle child thing for me, but I felt it when we only had two. He's a precious boy - so good to take a nap for you!

Your alliums are lovely!

Mine are way past their prime, gone from purple to silver and now a burnt green ready to be deadheaded.

And you are so lucky to still have a child that naps. I miss the napping.

beautiful garden shots and sweet boys. I can never take a photo of sleeping Keely because I know she'll wake up! Momma don't want that!
