Blumen. Drinnen und Draussen ...

This morning was sunny, relatively cloudless, and warm. Now it is cold and a little rainy, but before the weather changed I took a little stroll from the kitchen to the front yard.

We got a clipping from my dad's geranium. It was just a wee sprat when we moved out to Clifton Forge, but it's grown a bit since then ...

Out front, there is a solitary rose, of the small variety. Not all the blossoms are in bloom, but we have the promise of some nice colour.

We also have a little frog-pond (or The Swamp, as Madge likes to call it) where the Iris are now in bloom and we also have some Hosta, that fill in the space very nicely.
