So we can't really complain. but all the same, I'm glad spring seems to be here.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-11034746977987026562015-03-16T16:29:49.074+00:002015-03-16T16:29:49.074+00:00Lovely poetry!

It must be where my 'smell of spring' comes from! It's lovely in an open space, but I imagine it could be overpowering in a garden.<br /><br />Do read 'Sightlines', it's every bit as good as Findings. Then try some of her poetry.<br /><br />Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-29475761571353988492015-03-11T06:04:29.421+00:002015-03-11T06:04:29.421+00:00The evergreen plant with the white flowers is Sarc... The evergreen plant with the white flowers is Sarcocca. In our last house we had one by the east-facing front door so the sun brought out the scent, eventually it got too much for us ... it was so strong. Thank-you for your choice of poems. I loved 'Findings' and must now read 'Sightlines'.Nomeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852416489125069782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-88926334728541243002015-03-10T07:04:58.687+00:002015-03-10T07:04:58.687+00:00But you have spectacular scenery in your part of t...But you have spectacular scenery in your part of the world, even when it's grey and damp! Actually, it looks lovely here at the moment - the two photos in the post were taken a couple of weeks back, when I first smelled spring, and now there are brightly coloured daffodils and crocuses blooming everywhere.
