Elsie, peeping through the flowers!

Rainbow Treasure

I have found the treasure
That lies at the Rainbow's end;
Wealth beyond computing
Is mine to give or lend.
Opals of an April dawn,
Gold of a shimmering noon,
Amethysts of the sunset,
Pearls with the glow of the moon.
Would you like to share it?
There's more than enough for all
In my Iris Garden Against a grey stone wall.

I laughed when I caught sight of Elsie hiding behind the container!
Do you know what the green container is?
It's an old washing machine drum. I saw it at the tip a few years ago.
It needs a coat of paint and is in deed on my list of jobs over the next few weeks.

I am quite pleased with the weekend jobs done.
Jon spent all Saturday working on the porch door.........

As you can see, still not fixed.
It is all so very complicated.
Jon made a new mechanism ( sorry for blurred picture....still learning new camera!) but it would seem there are further problems with other parts of the door fitting.



The porch door remains locked but will be sorted , it has to be because the cooker is being delivered on May 2nd, Friday of this week.

The weather has been pretty wet over the weekend so we didn't get out on the motorbike.
Yesterday, Sunday I planted up some more succulants into the dry stone wall and also planted some seeds here and there......I will show you these in due course when there is something to show.
I have found it quite exciting to see the tulips emerge and pop their heads through the varios beds and shrubberies, but my favourite part of the garden has to be the wall....well for the moment anyway. The rain was drizzling off and on yesterday so it seemed an ideal time to plant in some new alpines.
No sooner had I finished the drizzle turned into a full blown shower, which lasted for a couple of hours. Last night we had thunder and lightning, so I was pleased that the new alpines, succulants and seeds would have a good dose of moisture to help them start their new journey.

To see more Monday Hot Shots visit Katney who is hosting this project.



I would like to thank everybody for the lovely comments I received last week on my post
