As you can see I've been having a bit of a play around in Pic Monkey for my first contribution. You're welcome to join in between now and 8th June 2014. The idea behind this year's project is to highlight the tool most precious to a gardener: their hands. How do I take part? It's simple. All you need to do is take a photo of hand(s) in a gardening context and then share it via your blog or other social media (such as Twitter or Facebook), then make sure I know you've done so. I've set up Mr Linky below for your blog contributions. The Chelsea Fringe photo on the right sidebar links to this post, so you can easily find it again when you're ready to add your contribution. If you share your photo on Twitter, ...
What a lovely quote, and so apt.
ReplyDeleteI agree: apt quote!
ReplyDeleteIs that winter aconite?
Plantaliscious - thanks. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be Frebruary's muse as I've been spending so much time looking out for tiny flowers ;)
ReplyDeleteDirt Gently - welcome! Well spotted, it is indeed a winter aconite. I was going to say so on the post itself, but it seemd to destroy the power of the quotation when I do so. I was going to show you my first crocus (which came out last Sunday), but I'd been so worried that my Eranthis didn't seem to be peeping out yet, when I found they were just beginning to wake up under their winter coverlet of leaves, I knew I just had to show it instead :)
That quote hits the nail on the head VP and perfectly illustrated too :)
ReplyDeleteSo you have actually seen this lovely bloom in your garden? Lucky you! Is it already 'late' winter? I like that thought, although many say it's still deep in the middle of winter. I'm going to look at it as late winter. Hopefully that way, spring can only be just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteAnna - thanks :)
ReplyDeleteJan - February is called 'Late Winter' in our gardening calendar. I've been worried they weren't going to appear this year, so was really pleased when I saw the first few peeping through for Muse Day. There's lots more now :)
