A tough day at work today. One person lost her job last week due to little to do, one sick and one had to gon early (and he came late too :-) ). Naturally we had lodes to do so three people had to do a six person job. But there´s only one day left until I get my weekend so I´ll survive.

Doesn´t this look like a flower bud? If it is my nektarine will flower for the first time :-) Perhaps I can show You pictures og nekatrines in summer then :-) A nectarine isn´t really hardy enough to grow here so ythis is kind of unique. I sowed the seed six winters ago and it has grown ouside since then. Hold Your thumbs (or cross Your fingers as You say in english) so I can get at least one nektarine :-)

I sowed a lot of seeds this winter and now two of them have started to germinate :-) One really thorny bush that I woun´t even try to write or even remember :-) But I know it´s a close relative to the common Aralias that grows on the american continent. The other one is a yellow larkspur that grows in Persia. It can survive here if it grows in sand and the soil in my garden is mostly sand so I have high hopes that it will stay.

The bud of my filled pink hepatica is slowly opening it self.

It´s going to rain for two days now, but already on Good Friday sun will come and so will the warm winds :-) I really hope that we woun´t get any more snow now, but one never knows in April.

This will become a really thorny bush, hard to belive now isn´t it :-)

The swedish name for Good Friday is Long Friday and not to long ago everything was closed that day. Children weren´t supposed to play and have fun that day. If Jesus suffered, so should we :-) I don´t think that the Church of Sweden really understood then that this day isn´t a day of total sorrow. But I think that other churches understood better, that´s why it´s called Good Friday in english I think.

The flower buds has started to come on the potplants too. This is a begonia

Now I´m going to read Your blogs and then it´s time for bed I think. I can´t remember being this tired for a long time. So have a great day and see You Thursday.
Bee good!

and in swedish it´s called an Angelwing begonia because of it´s leafs. The reminde somewhat of angelwings. There is a species that has the exact same leafs but much bigger, they are called Pigs ears begonias :-)
