Another Friday Forum catch-up allowing us to find out what is looking good just now in the gardens of our members plus Easter decorations for the house.
We had beautiful examples of a wide range of
spring flowers and shrubs from pastel shades to vibrant colours. Here are a few:

… and finally, I thought this poem by Robert
Frost sums up the weather in April.
"The sun was warm but the wind was
chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
- Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
