The View - May 2013

So here we are at the beginning of May and time to show off our 'views'.  I know that some parts of the country are enjoying a warm and sunny Bank Holiday Monday, but here it is cold, grey with a cold wind that cuts right through you.  I think things have got rather mixed up this year, either that or there is something seriously wrong with this poem!

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,
scatters daisies at our feet.

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
skipping by their fleecy dams.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
fills the children's hand with posies.


 In March I brought you 'flocks of pretty lambs, skipping by their fleecy dams', I did manage to find a 'primrose sweet' for April but they are even better now.



It's taken until May before I had enough dancing daffodils open and they are sparser than usual too.


And I see that we are expected to have tulips in June, when they are already open!


Let's hope we can manage some lilies and roses for June and get back on track.


I'm going to have a busy week as I am away for work, so I'll post the view from my kitchen window while I'm here, same view different angle!  By next month there should be more plants growing.
