Summer sunshine from my corner of the world....




I've written this post
especially for my friends
in colder climes.
From what I hear
you're all tired of snow
and just want Winter to disappear...




so I'm sending you some
Kiwi sunshine
from my summer garden
to brighten up your day!




and as a gentle reminder that your
Spring/Summer
will be with you soon!

I'm linking with Mary for

Thank you all for visiting
and leaving such nice comments.

À bientôt
be kind to one another

  6. Thank you so much for your lovely post.
    I love your sunny garden, the flowers and butterfly. The wildflowers in France are a reminder that warmer days will eventually arrive here after our cold season. Meantime, I must go and buy a packet of wildflower seeds to sow in our garden - cornflowers are especially pretty.

  10. Aww. Thank you, Shane. I love all the blooming colour in your garden. Spring is coming, faster here than in other areas of Canada, but I'm still longing for more warmth.

  12. So much prettiness! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics, and your sunshine. It's a strange old day here today - one minute we have blue sky & sunshine (albeit an icy wind and -2C !) and the next moment, the sky darkens and the snow arrives.
    Happy Monday,
    xx

  16. Hello Shane ,,, your garden still looks very beautiful - we are now looking very brown & crisp down here in the Waikato & my son says my lawn looks like cornflakes!!! Enjoy those beautiful blooms, Julie :-)

  17. Your collage is just perfect! Love it!

  18. Such a pretty collage Shane - love those Kiwi greens, and will definitely enjoy your gift of Kiwi sunshine this morning as it's raining here! BUT, sun is on the way again along with warm days for the remainder of this week. Hubby mowed the lawns on Sunday when it was sunny and pleasant - first 'haircut' of the lovely season about to start. My magnolia is opening pink blooms, and green buds are visible on many shrubs, such as the azaleas, although I doubt they'll be out for Easter this year.

    We've had a mild Winter here in the southeast compared to much of the US - just hoping it won't be a stifling hot and humid Summer - not my favorite time of year.

    Happy week dear friend.
    Hugs - Mary

    Love those shades of potted violas and petunias. Sunshine and shade with dappled light reminds me that Autumn is definitely here.
