I have been busy mopping, dusting and polishing while Paul has been strimming and cutting grass. It hasn't all been work though, we've found plenty of time to sit in the sun. Eating and drinking outside never fails to lose its appeal.

It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
It's always pretty here in the Spring.
DeleteHow come Paul gets to do all the hard work while you are just prancing around with your feather duster?
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm a lady.
DeleteThe grass looks beautiful and picnic inviting!
ReplyDeleteIt makes such a difference after it's been cut.
DeleteLilacs are one of my favourite scents. Your yard looks beautiful! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteIt's a very heady scent.
DeleteThe lilacs look beautiful! Amazing how one mowing can make the place look so neat and tidy.
ReplyDeleteFortunately the grass is dry right now so we were able to tackle it straightaway.
DeletePossibly the only flower arranging tip I have (taught to me by my mother), is to strip the Lilac flower branches of all their leaves, and put leaf only branches in with them. This way the flowers will last much longer. It works too!
ReplyDeleteOoh I didn't know that. I'll give it a try.
