Garden affair : My spring Balcony

 Its spring time the exuberant freshness in air is enough to bring euphoric environment in my Garden. 

My balcony in these days is adorned with prolific spring blooms  and it is giving more warmth than my Hot cup  of coffee. 

I had always being avid gardener since from my early childhood as I was bestowed with large gardening space in my home . It was when my small balcony was renovated with  addition of green space I realized the emphasis of below mentioned quote 

                                                " You should enjoy being in your garden space,

                                                   regardless of its size. You should enjoy 

                                               looking at it so be practical not aspirational.  "

                                                                        

                                                                      

                                                                        

It is the time for link up party Garden Affair where we can share posts related with Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will be open for a week.
