It's that time of year...

I love this time of year.

Winter has passed and the days are beautifully mild and have definitely warmed some. The sun is up early and staying up late, which means we have slowly started moving back into the garden space again.

Spring is in the air and so is spring cleaning, a bit of a promise after the long hibernation of winter. Shifting things around helps me feel more renewed to start new seasons, whatever that may be. We spent a few days repainting the outside furniture, only my benches left to do but I can’t wait to finish that this week. We have also got back to painting some zones inside the house and we are busy getting quotes to have the outside painted too, a little overdue but I’m super excited about it.

I also have some new season plantings to do. I love my outside space so much and my early rising means time on the stoep sipping coffee, meanderings in the garden… watering, weeding and feeding the birds…. yes, my beautiful birds and butterflies are back.

It’s good to be outside again.
