on Sunday we took a trip to Safeway to find some spring plants… this is the time of year that I need lots of things blooming around me…

we found individual pots of hyacinth and crocus… then a pot with tulips, daffodils, primrose, and hyacinth in it… I got them all, lol…

I am enjoying watching them as they open and anticipating the scent;-)…

had some fun taking flower pictures yesterday…

the crocus and hyacinth are doing very well and enjoying the light in the living room… also some tulips at the grocery store…

orchid blooms are looking lovely and I picked up an orchid on sale at Save-On-Foods that is now living in the bedroom…

have decided that it needs to be Spring…

bought this cute little crocus plant and am enjoying watching the blooms open…

the sun is shining out there and it feels like Spring… in the house, lol…

except that the temperature is minus 34…

picked up a few Spring-y tops on Friday…

maybe if we imagine it enough, it will come sooner;-)…

afraid, big girl pants, crocus, fish, pond, snakes

well… today we drove to Narcisse to see the garter snake dens…

just to be clear… I am afraid of snakes, very afraid…

we spotted this crocus on the way in…

20140519-200210-72130909.jpgit was raining when we arrived and there were very few snakes and they weren’t moving much…

20140519-200300-72180667.jpgeveryone touched and/or held one… the boys had great fun…

20140519-200939-72579182.jpgthen I held one for just a couple of seconds… was rather proud of myself…

20140519-201032-72632987.jpgwe were lucky to get a couple of shots with the tongue out…

20140519-201245-72765205.jpgeventually the rain stopped and the snakes appeared to materialize out of nowhere and were writhing all over each other…

20140519-201558-72958973.jpgwhen we got home – without any snakes, although many in the vehicle thought we should bring one home – Jeff caught the fish and took them out to the pond…

20140519-201820-73100578.jpgI hope they are not frozen out there…

backyard, crocus, melting, snow, sun, waterfall

can you believe what you can see in this picture…

20140314-211154.jpg it is the top of the slate waterfall rock… and it has been completely covered in snow for weeks…

even though it has been a bit cold out, the sun is warm, even hot, when it shines…

every day I can see that the snow has melted in the backyard… of course, there is a lot of it that still needs to melt, lol…

looking at the picture you can see that all the snow on the rail of the deck is gone already… yay…

every time I look at the crocus I imagine the time when I’ll be able to walk outside and see spring flowers blooming…

Breakfast Television, crocus, ReImagining, television

usually, when I wake up I put on the TV and watch/listen to the morning news on Breakfast Television… this morning it wouldn’t turn on… this is serious… called my son-in-law who suggested I might have napped on top of the remote and pushed a button I shouldn’t have… so changing the batteries didn’t really need to happen, lol… not too sure when I will understand the silly remote… good news is the TV is working fine now…

sadly the crocuses are finished blooming, but there is more light every morning although the weather is still in the deep freeze…

spent some time tonight with my ReImagining friends enjoying a great dinner and interesting program…

crocus, exhausted, flowers, hyacinth, Olympics, tired

first thing got a great shot of the moon with a star or planet off to the side…

lovely view to start the day… and it is lighter in the morning…

not sure if it is let down following the Olympics or just too much extreme cold over this winter but nearly everyone I talk with is exhausted…

people are walking around yawning or their brains don’t seem to be working up-to-par…

thank goodness for the flowers at work and home…

every time I see the crocus and hyacinth they appear to be growing right in front of my eyes… and they make me happy…

the hyacinth is starting to smell so nice…

crocus, flowers, hyacinth, in the moment, Lung Association, moon, serendipity, tulips

this morning I vacillated between bringing either the crocus or hyacinth to the office so that I could have some flowers and spring-ness…

but I decided not to bother today as it was so cold…

on my way to work I spent a few minutes enjoying the beautiful quarter moon in the sky…

mid-morning the Lung Association dropped off tulips which we had ordered…

I chose some off white and pink ones…

how serendipitous…

for the rest of the day I had the beauty of flowers right at my desk and when I got home the crocuses were opening up…

flowers make me so happy…

big girl pants, crocus, flowers, hyacinth, raised spirits, Spring

was out doing errands late this afternoon, after spending the majority of the day watching the Olympics…

had the hot tub water checked and it is doing great… yay…

at Safeway came across hyacinth and crocus in little pots… couldn’t help myself, had to bring them home…

they even smell a little spring-y…

amazing what a little fresh growth makes to my spirits…
