What a glorious day it is today! The sun is shining, the sky is blue, it is gently warm and the roses are blooming.
The lovely weather arrived yesterday after a week of rain. This rain was actually greatly appreciated since we still have issues with our water system. And see just how lovely the irises look with rain drops on their petals!
Yesterday was sunny and breezy. We had organized a little crafts workshop in the garden to make mother’s day cards with pressed flower petals.

The wind made this project a little challenging. Dried flower petals are very light and fly off so easily. But our visitors managed well. Several kids came with their moms and dads, and even the littlest ones made lovely cards with a bit of help. I hope they all had fun, I did!

This card with petals of our variegated tree peony was made by a young mom to be: she expects her first baby in a few months. We wish her the best of luck!
