The warmth of the sun is soon felt!

By 1 pm it was around 18C andT-shirt weather !

After lunch it was time to head home.

I left with a bag of garden goodies!

A weed for one is a plant for another!

Morning light on the blossom
Fun with shadows

A morning spent planting

Where did the 16 x 40-litre bags of garden dirt go?

The wind blows in from the North, the sun is shining and the days ahead will be dry! Cold nights, 2C, and warmer, 12C - 14C, days expected. After a pleasant start to a Weeding week there was time to putter around in the garden.

Plants out of pots and summer flowering bulbs are in!

Also split a few plants and replanted the original area.

Let's see what this will look like in a month's time!

Within a few days our tree is in bloom!

Spring came to Baarn!

Have you ever seen this type of Hyacinth?
The Dutch landscape between Baarn and Bunschoten

Can you see the windmills producing electricity?

It's not a Buttercup.

Here's a curry soup recipe that's easy :

Saute one chopped onion in a pan. Add about 150 gr. julliened carrots and cook another 2 min. Stir in 1 spoonful tomato paste. Add 1 jar=52o ml Indian Curry sauce(this is a ready made sauce and not a concentrated curry paste!) 1 veg stock cube, 100 ml orange juice(or not) and 500 ml water. Bring to the boil and boil 2 minutes. Add one can=800 gr drained marrowfat peas(kapucijners in Dutch!) and warm through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve and garnish with feta cheese and fresh corriander.

Happy Easter Sunday!

This morning they started working with chainsaws on the willows on the dyke. The idea now is that trees on and by the dykes have to go. "Water management" they call it.

This was about 8:30 this morning as I went to work.

The view by 3:30 pm!

So this photo from 2007 ...

is history.
