A Slightly Sad Six for Saturday…
I braved the weather to see if anything was happening in our garden this morning, not expecting to find much. Pleasantly surprised to see that MN was already stirring! Top of my list has to be the white Azalea. It has been trying to bloom for several months now, one of the most stubborn plants.…
