For all those living on foreign soil!
How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden?
We'll tell you now of some that we know
Those we miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and phlox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentian, lupin and tall hollyhocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden
How many insects come here and go
In an English country garden?
We'll tell you now of some that we know
Those we miss you'll surely pardon
Fireflies, moths and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies drift in the gentle breeze
There are snakes, ants that sting
And other creeping things
In an English country garden
How many songbirds fly to and fro
In an English country garden?
We'll tell you now of some that we know
Those we miss you'll surely pardon
Bobolink, cuckoo and quail
Tanager and cardinal
Bluebird, lark, thrush and nightingale
There is joy in the spring
When the birds begin to sing
In an English country garden
Don't you just love it!
Sun due to shine today so will go and take some snaps of my Australian English country ga ar den!
Thankyou, Babs - very much appreciated. Lovely sunny day here too, but not much left in the garden to photograph. Put yours up on the blog, please, would love to see them.
Then I shall Diane. I shall email a few photos to Stormie for him to add......I haven't a clue how to do it myself.
