Much of our 2 1/2 acres is grassed with trees dotted all around. <br />Oh we know overgrown:-) We've been mowing some of the grass which we'd left because in spring it's a carpet of cowslips but it will take at least two more sessions to get it looking even 1/2 way reasonable!Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-20718364135889447472013-05-04T17:56:24.580+02:002013-05-04T17:56:24.580+02:00Pretty blossom!

Sorry your weather is so mixed, but I bet the farmers are glad the grass is growing for the hay, even if you'd rather it would slow down. Here the temperature reached the dizzy height of 17C yesterday, our warmest day of the year so far. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-70681482090351017892013-05-03T17:31:49.437+02:002013-05-03T17:31:49.437+02:00Beautiful blooms N&A... good luck with a bumpe...Beautiful blooms N&A... good luck with a bumper harvest.
