Just lovely in the land of fairies!

Well it is spring, but were supposed to get quite cold this weekend, with snow. Its going to be a while before it looks like spring is my guess with the extra cold we have had this year.
Just a quick look at the Greenhouse and Koi ponds today. Koi ponds have been running all winter and water looks very clean. I still need to do lots of work to get yard all pretty again.

@callingcolleen1 you have no idea the inspiration you have given me with your videos! I can't wait to put some fairy life into my permanent greenhouse once we put it up
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden, pond and greenhouse
Your voice just takes me away, I love it!

She is inspiring isn't she? And no matter what, she stays positive.

Awe you guys make me smile. Ok, so I love to play with my fairies in the greenhouse. My hubby says it's my giant play house, ha ha. Some guys probably roll their eyes, but its a "woman thing".... We can still "play with dolls" and call it "Fairy Gardens" he he he.
I must admit that I played with my dolls till I hit puberty. Now I'm building the "perfect" fairy land I could only dream about as a child....
I built the greenhouse all myself, the whole thing, no help from anybody, just me, myself and I.

Now I'm building the "perfect" fairy land I could only dream about as a child....

If more people lived their lives through the eyes of a child, this world would be a better place!
Keep that "child imagination" alive!

Now it all makes sense... Their first names of my Grampa Henry, Great Grandma Elsie, my Auntie Doreen.... They are all Hebrew names. .

I know, this is supposed to be spring and this is April already! We seem to be having the longest, coldest winter I can remember in a long time. No early spring bulbs this year! I remember many times I was planting early spring flowers in March, and won't be planting anytime soon as forecast is bleak and ground is still frozen very deep.
Grand Solar Minimum to blame, look it up and maybe learn about it so we can be better prepared....

P.S. might get a DNA test to see where I come from...

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, looks so cold there but all is still doing just fine for your fish. Soon you will get some warmth and soon we will get dryer. I heard geese and had to look out my window,lol!
I did my dna through Ancestry.com. They have sales now and then which is nice. Found out I am:

Mother Nature has played a cruel April Fool's Day trick on you. I hope she sends Spring your way soon!! I wish I could send you some sun and warmth. Hang in there,

Hello everybody!! Looks like spring is coming, even if its late, better than another week of cold and snow!
Pond temperature is about 48 degrees and holding. Ponds look awesome this time of the year, as the bright spring sun shines deep into the pond and the water shimmers. No leafs on trees yet and just a very few early spring bulbs starting to poke out.
Greenhouse has a "Guest" that has been living there all winter!!!

Nice to see what's going on in the greenhouse. Nice new little goldfish and pleco! I had one of the Pleco's and he grew to a foot long. He was the last fish left in my aquarium and I ended up giving him away as I was done w/ aquariums.He's prolly still growing in his new home. Your pond and guppies look good and that's one smart wasp. He/she knows a good thing when he sees it. Hope it doesn't make a nest in there tho.

Your Christmas cactus is gorgeous !!

 

[callingcolleen1]

That cactus was dying and i moved it to the greenhouse few months back, and transplanted it. All nice and newly planted.
Those goldfish were beat all up, one missing eyes and one missing top fin... That lady dropped off on my doorstep and ran away, said her kids were getting a hamster "instead" .. Those fish were in small tank with big black algae eater who I suspect ate those beat up fish bit by bit.. Now they are in tank with now terrified guppies. Its eat or be eaten it seens. I had no where to put them so they are with wild guppy mix. Will move them soon to pond and guppies will have to hide in hornwort for a while .
