It comes every spring. A day when you kind of awaken from a bear's winter sleep.
I had today my awakening moment. The scent of spring in the air and bright sunshine!
1. I want this snow away from my terrace!
I want to put the table and chairs to their place so I chopped the thick snow layers
into small peaces and think that by tomorrow they have gone.
2. The growth has started!
Here is the evidence. It is every year so astonishing to see how vigorous the plants are.
As soon they pop up from under the snow they start to grow.
3. Decorating the terrace
Probably this Tete à Tete pot shall freeze, but I couldn't help it....
4. Sowing the herbs
I noticed that my thyme has survived the winter in a splendid state!
I'll sow different basilica varieties very soon onto the window sill...
5. The wood pigeons have arrived!
Wood pigeons are so cute, I love them. Had to content with photos from the last year.
I have had some tiny decorations inside too...
BTW
Have you read Hanya Yanagihara's novel A little Life?
In my opinion it was good alright, but oh how violent & disgusting!

Voi kuinka kauniita kuvia! Nyt alkoi mieli tehdä narsisseja kotiin. Ihanan aurinkoisia ja valoisia kukkia.
VastaaPoistaTänään oli ihana keväinen päivä!
PoistaDear Riitta,
VastaaPoistathe last collage with the blossoms in the glasses are wonderful - I love this photo.
Greetings from Germany, next week perhaps I have Blossoms too for your Party!

Would be so lovely to see your contribution! Meanwhile enjoy the lovely spring Kirsi!
PoistaHauska kontrasti keväisissä kukissa ja puhtaan talvisessa lumessa. Miten se onkin noin valkoista, meillä kaikki vielä maassa oleva on harmaan mustaa mössöä :D
VastaaPoistaKyllähän tetet jonkun verran pakkasta sietää, mutta hiukan dille olen, myönnän :) mutta oli niin ihana päivä tänään!
PoistaSchön, dich wieder beim "DND" an zu treffen.

PoistaOh Riitta!
VastaaPoistaYour spring pictures are phenomenal.
I am delighted with them.
Greetings.
Pronto todo florecerá. Muchos besos.
VastaaPoistaWelcome, Spring! How lovely to see those shoots emerging from the ground. I hope the snow continues to disappear. Lovely bright yellow daffodils are so gorgeous at this time of year.
VastaaPoistaHi Riitta,
VastaaPoistaisn' t it wonderful, when Nature is awaking in Spingtime?
Thank you for wonderful pictures!
Happy day and weekend to you,
Love and hugs, Claudia xo

VastaaPoistaHave a great week.
Diana
At last, you have Spring on your doorstep. 😊
VastaaPoistaIlahduttavia ja kauniita keväänmerkkejä:) Meilläpäin ei ole vielä näkynyt sepelkyyhkyjä
VastaaPoistaDear Riitta,
VastaaPoistagreat pictures of the Spring! I like when Nature is awaking.

Happy Spring! It's one of my favourite time of year when things start to spring up from the ground again when everything has been so dull over the winter months.
VastaaPoistaHappy Five on Friday!
Beautiful spring blooms. i'm visiting from Five on Friday.
VastaaPoistaBeautiful spring blooms. i'm visiting from Five on Friday.
VastaaPoistaGorgeous photos! I LOVE the jonquils in the snow!
VastaaPoistaLove all the spring pictures! I really like how you decorated with the daffodils. I need to decorate in here for spring and clean off our deck (just get rid of dirt as we hardly got any snow this year). Hope you have a great weekend!
VastaaPoistaBeautiful pictures of fresh spring flowers. The new shoots look wonderful against the snow.
VastaaPoistaPlants are amazing,just getting on with their lives.
VastaaPoistaWishing you a happy and creative Spring!

Always amazing to see the earth spring forth after winter snows.
VastaaPoistaSo in love with your beautiful daffodils --- and a little envious too, as you can imagine. They are stunning in the snow. (Almost enough to make me wish I lived somewhere where there was a real winter. But not quite -- I hate cold.) Thank you for sharing flowers I never see any more.
VastaaPoistaThank you all so sincerely for visiting & commenting ❤︎ Have a great weekend!
PoistaNiin keväisen ihanaa! :) Ehkäpä minäkin tänään repäisen ja hankin muutaman narsissin.
VastaaPoistaI love the sound of the wood pigeons calling, I just wish they wouldn't eat the vegetable garden!
VastaaPoistaYour photos of the daffodils are so pretty. I love the ones in the terracotta pot you've placed in the snow. I'm sure you will be pleased when the snow is gone. It's always a thrill to see the plants pushing through and I'm glad your hardy herbs have done well over the winter.
VastaaPoistaHello Riitta, your absolutely beautiful daffodils are stunning. I do love terracotta and to see yours looking like that makes me so happy. I'm glad you have awakened to Spring and can enjoy your garden once more. The bulbs are literally forcing their way up through the soil, they are so strong and healthy looking. The smells of the herbs must be a real treat for you too! The wood pigeons are sweet and I'm glad for you that they are arriving.
VastaaPoistaFinally, I love how you have arranged the indoor daffodils in the glassware, all surrounded by those pretty furry catkins. Cheers to you my friend :D)
Aivan ihania alkuja ja täällä on vielä suurin osa pihasta lumipeitteen alla..
VastaaPoistaVoikun sulaisi pikaisesti pois!
Ihanan keväisiä narsisseja!
VastaaPoistaBeautiful! Daffodils are abundant in the market now, so I have bouquets frequently. None growing in my garden.
VastaaPoistaVery lovely flowers. I love it.
VastaaPoistaA time to celebrate all of nature's wonderful accomplishments renewed - Spring! Love love love the vibrant new leaves in your last mosaic!
VastaaPoistaHappy MM!
Spring is trying to arrive and push away the winter cold! Enjoy your week sweet lady. Hugs, Diane
VastaaPoistaIt's so nice that daffodils appear despite the snow. Lovely mosaics Riitta!
VastaaPoistaBeautiful images! Love the daffodils in the snow, for that is the reality of spring sometimes!
VastaaPoistaJOY for you ear Riitta!
VastaaPoistaHow you must welcome Spring and the first flowers that appear after pushing their little heads through the snow!
The Tête à Tête daffodils are so sweet - I'm going to plant some now for my Spring display in September (in the Southern Hemisphere).
I also want to plant the Hoop Petticoat miniature daffodils too!
I don't think I could read that book - I detest violence.
There are so many worthwhile beautiful books to read.
Enjoy your Spring Days Riitta.
Shane
Great post! Have a good week :)
