This is actually yesterday's post which I couldn't submit because the Cat was down, so it's about what I did yesterday.

It was a perfect warm sunny Spring day today, so I took a few minutes to walk around the garden and look at the new growth everywhere and be assailed by all the gorgeous Spring smells.

First stop was the lemon tree, so I could bury my nose in the first fragrant flowers of the season. The tree is covered with pink buds, as well as some of last year's lemons. The passionfruit vine is recovering from the snail invasion now that I've picked them all off, and new growth is everywhere on it. The Chinese Star Jasmine has fresh green tendrils waving around looking for something to grab on to, the sage has new bright green leaves, and the peach tree is covered with pink blossoms and new little green leaves are just starting.

There's my sweet scented jasmine pretty in pink all over the fence, and as I walked past my big climbing rose that is covered with new red leaves and buds, I was struck by the strong scent of rose, even though none of the flowers are out yet. I picked a few little freesias that sprang up in the front lawn and put them in a vase with a few sprigs of jasmine next to my bed. Heavenly! I love Spring!
