Glorious.
It is a word true to its sound, both expansive and bright, reaching upwards. And that is the feeling floating through our courtyard these past few days. Remi and I – yes and the dogs too – are waking up slowly to the Spring that has arrived on our doorstep in full force.
Suddenly, everything needs to be clean, to be swept, to be made new in order to echo the sudden growth all around us. Finally, the rusty iron candelabra has been hung above our old teak table. We have been planting and repotting – including a new jasmine that I will watch crawl over our walls until it emits that sweet, true perfume that is most certainly…glorious.
This happiness.

I am sending out my Very Best Wishes to those of you that are celebrating either Easter or Passover this weekend. And Peace and Joy to everyone…
Yes and…No…about the doggies. I would say that they both are showing certain signs of…erm…Spring Fever at this time of year! But what a Yes to Nature cleaning house and how lovely that we instinctively follow suit.
Cheers to you on the other side of the world, Bill…

Snow? brrrrr *shudders* Stay strong! Spring is on its way. And yep, these photos came out pretty well – that is what the wall looks like. We like it. 🙂
My goodness, your orchids just took care of themselves for two whole months?! I love that and it is inspiration indeed, dear Joan.
Sister, you are so awesome. I love you. 🙂 Nope, we weren't here for Spring – although we first visited the house a year ago! It just took a loong time before it worked out to move in. Remi did the rocks – now I will always see fishies! And your adding the "boing, boing, boing" most certainly put a smile on my face.
As if the setting weren't gorgeous enough already, you have the added beauty of scattered magnolia petals. In all your spring activity, I am glad you stopped to contemplate this loveliness and send it on to us.
Hello Heather,
Glorious it is indeed.
These first new shoots and the rays of sunshine which start to penetrate after their long Winter absence. Your courtyard does indeed have all the promise of eating outside, leisurely moments spent over coffee and tea and a peaceful place at sunset to share a glass of wine and the highlights of the day.
How comfortable Ben and Kipling look in their new home. A happy scene of contentment and how wonderfully glorious is that!
It all looks so beautiful Heather, I look forward to seeing more pictures as everything grows and blossoms.

Absolutely lovely! Happy to see you are all enjoying spring.
I love the soft light in the first shot…and that pretty blue door. I am hoping that you too had a nice holiday. janey
