The start of British Summertime and Mothers Day.

I planted these tulips in the autmn in a pot on the patio.  Its been such a pleasure to watch them grow, first the tiny green tips showing out of the soil, then the growing stems and tightly closed green buds.  Now they are just coming into bloom - coaxed into opening up by the warm sunshine these past two days.  When the flowers are closed the dusky outer side of the petals looks a deep red/purple.  They are similar in colour to some tulips I brought for Mothers Day.

Another day gardening and allotmenting but taking it easier than yesterday as my limbs were feeling sore this morning after my exertions.  Rested a bit this afternoon.  Needing to find new ways of organsing my days, especially the mornings, so I feel like work isn't my only life.  I have sat down this evening and given myself a talking to and written down some ideas.

I hope you have all had a lovely day and have been able to enjoy the sunshine.
