had a photo shoot with my bouquet of flowers…

I’m happy that I’ve taken lots of shots since I received them as they are starting to fade…

got out the actual camera and had a fun time… light was good and tunes were playing…

flowers make me happy;-)…

last fall I brought the fuchsia in to see if it would survive the winter in the house…

it did, but looked rather scraggly when it came back outside, so I wasn’t sure if it would flower again…

and look what I spotted…

beautiful flowers opening… tough little devil…

was rather pleased that it made it;-)…

yesterday I received two sets of stickers made from my photos, that had been ordered a while ago…

after cleaning off one that came on the computer, thanks to rubbing alcohol and an old facecloth, I added one of each ;-)…

think I’m liking how they look…

buds…

so excited to see two buds on the morning glories in the living room window…

had not expected flowers before the plants were moved outside…

usually it takes weeks before the first bud shows up, so this was amazing…

since then, those two have opened and many others have bloomed as well…

making me think that I might try to grow some over the winter… I could start them in the fall and then see what happens;-)…

had a great time in the garden on Friday, planning the steps to get it beautiful…

spent the time with Hilda the Gardener and we discussed flowers, beds, and watering options… what is needed and where to locate plants… we even moved a few planters around in the front… i am now looking for two more black ones to add in… a bit later I moved the ones out that are going into the garden…

she will be back this week to start the spring cleanup process…

went through my fabric stash and filled a laundry basket with pass alongs…

there was about a ten year period where I collected fabric to use to decorate tables, rooms, etc… enjoyed the memories of when the various pieces were used… laughed as I remembered a colleague who used to call them my rags…

this basket had been filled to overflowing and still has quite a few items in it that I couldn’t let go, including a number of scarves… so happy to also find a few items that I didn’t even know were missing, lol…

visited outside with a wonderful young woman who came by to collect the stash and always makes me feel great…

looking forward to seeing what she produces;-)…
