Floral

I love floral, especially vintage floral on the walls and in vases of course. I've been cutting the peonies lately, taking advantage of the few weeks they are in flower. The children have been picking flowers in the garden too,  presenting me proudly with sweet bunches of daisies and cow parsley.

36 weeks

36 weeks pregnant. Only 4 more to go! I'd be happy to give birth in the next week or two but on the other hand with Scott experiencing his busiest work year yet, I hope she comes on or just after her due date. My friend is due at the same time and her husband works with Scott, so we hope they're both here in time. In addition, living 50 minutes from the hospital I'm hoping I don't have to consult youtube on how to deliver a baby:) All good fun eh? Sam is so excited repeatedly asking "is the baby coming out today?"

Nature in the home

There are so many pretty flowers out there in the garden. These I managed to bring inside during a dry moment. I don't know what they're called but they grow as a hedge just in our back yard. Not the most beautifully displayed arrangement, but add some colour non the less.

Succulents - nature in the home

 

 

A couple of years ago, we found this old wooden box in the barn. Since then, it's been used for books, magazines and later pens and crayons for the children. Now, I've transformed it into a home for succulents. Hopefully it will work. I've lined it with plastic,  small stones and soil and so far they seem happy.

Cherry blossom

Unfortunately, our cherry blossom tree looks pretty unhappy. After the harsh freeze last year, it doesn't seem to be blossoming too well. Hopefully, a good pruning will do the trick. We cut a few of the new shoots to brighten up the kitchen table.

Last week I bought some pansies which I planned to plant in pots outside, but it's been too cold! So, for now they're indoors brightening up the place.

Nature in the home

I'm notoriously rubbish at keeping plants alive in the house. But I do love spider plants and I am planning on adding more house plants soon and making a concerted effort to keep them healthy. In a few weeks I'll (and my little helpers) will be able to bring spring flowers into the house too, adding some much needed colour.
