Monday Musings ...

our lilac are in bloom

I have all the windows open to allow their heavenly scent to come inside

and the lily of the valley ...

one little plant, chosen because I wanted to make my son's high school graduation boutonniere, all those years ago, has now spread across the garden like wild fire, trying to come into the lawn.

 

gifts from the garden

and I had our first finch spotting this morning

with all the windows open, I followed his pretty song ...

what a thrill to find him singing happily

not in the lilac

but in our front garden

sitting happily in our purple sand cherry

and then taking a drink from the birdbath which sits below

a Robin flew by with an enormous amount of nesting material in her beak

I hope she decides on somewhere in our garden

to build her nest

I have been looking in the "usual places" but no nests started yet

for now,

I will  sip my tea

listen to Loreena McKennitt ~ the mystics dream

and inhale the sweet scent of lilac

Happy Monday
