I love Easter. It means kiteflying season in Trinidad, gorgeous weather (usually) and a chance to think about rebirth and renewal.

Writing my garden and my life.
About Me
- My Chutney Garden
- Gardening in the rain, watering at dusk with a glass of red wine and making up new recipes that I can never reproduce are just some of the things that I like to do. I live under a large saman tree in a nostalgic old house with my husband, Ross, my daughter, Hayley, five dogs and two cats.

I love your surroundings. I recognize some of your plants (I'm in Bermuda). Beautiful garden.
What beautiful bougainvillea! Happy Easter to you, too!
Everything is so beautiful.
Amazing photos.
Lovely Bougainvilleas!
Rebirth, renewal are my favorite topics too. In fact rebirth is a central concept in Hindu religion.
Happy Easter.
Like always, your pics are gorgeous. That is what Easter is all about, isn't it? resurrection-new life-renewal.
Beautiful Bougainvillea bracts. Love the variegated ones in the first photo. Happy Easter to you!
Aiyana
These flowers look like Bougainvilleas, but probably they aren't (at least I never saw them in these colours).
Hello~ ~ It is so nice to meet you. Don't know how I happened upon you but I am so glad that I did. Your blog is lovely as is your house. Are you excited to see the transformation?
