These two little lovelies stand either side of my mum's front door. They always hold something different, depending on the time of year. At the moment they hold two beautiful cowslips.

This morning, we whizzed along to one of our local garden centres, Jack's Patch.Jack's Patch is on the road between Newton Abbot and Teignmouth and this particular drive gives wonderful views of the River Teign.
Sadly, it was too dangerous for me to stop and snap the view.
So, instead, I snapped these little baskets full of Pansies and Ivy...

There was quite a mass of colour everywhere at the 'Patch'...

I bought some pansies to put in my Belfast sink...

Meanwhile, back at home I found my dear DH battling with the blustery weather... and attempting to cut the grass.

During the past few days, we've had this visitor...I just managed to snap the pose, through my kitchen window...
...before 'Woody' escaped!

How I love the beauty of the garden!

That's a fantastic garden you've got there... great blog too!
ReplyDelete;->...
Now THAT'S a GARDEN! Pansies (which used to be known as Heart's Ease) are my favorite flower! Your mom's containers are charming & make such a welcoming sight! And I love woodpeckers! I'm so glad I visited your blog tonight!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I envy you your big yard! I'd love to go poke around that garden shop. What beautiful displays!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! What a fabbo garden. And a woody too. My kiddie would love that. She's a wildlife nut. But I think OH would run a mile - he hates cutting our pocket handkerchief of a lawn. Yours wouold kill him!! ;0)
ReplyDeleteThat patch looks a bit more colourful than mine does at the minute. Fancy spotting a woodpecker in the garden, I haven't ever seen one in mine, they are fascinating to watch and listen to. x
ReplyDeleteWow Sal, you have a fantastic garden, and a woodpecker too, I don't think I've ever seen one ever. Those plants at the garden centre look fabulous, wish my garden was half as colourful :(

I love pansies. The woodpecker is lovely and your garden is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeen meaning to ask you if you go to Jack's Patch, I know it well! My cousin in Teignmouth goes at least once a week - I was there in October one day for lunch with her and friends - just think, we may have seen one another!! What a small world!
ReplyDeleteBy the way Sal - love your house and beautiful garden. How many acres does Terry have to mow!!!!
ReplyDeleteWoody is a fine bird indeed..
ReplyDeleteI have to admit a case of grass envy here... Our humble patch does not contain a blade of grass (other than couch grass) and I would love a bit of lawn..
