    Sunday, March 29th. The bumblebee and me worked in the rain this morning. The birds were present too. The sun came out and my sweetie with the blue skies. I weeded and layered bark over the cardboard that has collected on paths to smother weeds.

    The trilliums are coming up. The one trillium that had bloomed was found by a slug. Will mulch there with the cedar bark. There are a lot more trilliums to come. Here’s what’s happening with a few flowering plants today.

    Since the caravan will be staying home this spring and maybe much longer I decided to create a flower garden out its door.

    The caravan is a 5x8 foot cargo trailer that I had windows installed finished the interior put on the back windows and Dutch door. We use it for camping. Did a lot of solo camping in it since my sweetie doesn’t retire until this summer. It’s been from Arizona to British Columbia. I am always changing something inside so here’s how it looks today and one camping outing from last summer sweetie and I went on. Two photos looking toward the inside and one photo looking toward the door. Small, dry and you can stand up, cook, etc.

    I do love your caravan Jewell! The inside looks so comfy, the door is well done & inviting & I love the stars sprinkled across the front of it.

    Mart, glad you had the years to enjoy the lakes in your area. This is my way of enjoying travel on the cheap. After my longest trip it was hard to acclimate to living in a larger space. Funny what one gets used to.

    I like orney, believe in it strongly.


    Sjoerd, it does suit me and has been a pet project for a couple of years now.

    Netty, I go out daily and look for more blooms. :heart::flower::heart:


    CM the stars and such are just decals easily put on and have done well through time. I got a bit carried away with them actually. The space is quite cosy and the door was a project to comfortably bring my dogs with me. They helped design the caravan :like:

    . My garden is getting a revamp this spring since I have be MIA for the last couple of years because of time enjoying travel. Seems I have difficulty balancing my time between the two.:whistling:
