flowers blooming, flowers in the garden, lifted my spirits, lily of the valley, poppies, purple columbine, torenia, wander

a few nights ago I watered the plants when I got home and took a little wander around the garden…

five orange poppies were blooming… this was the night before the pond construction began so it was the last of the poppies…

poppies...

poppies…

a myriad of lily of the valley…

lily of the valley...

lily of the valley…

the torenia have perked up now that I am watering them regularly although I’m not sure if the fushia is going to come back…

torenia happier after watering...

the purple columbine at the side of the house is doing very well…

columbine...

columbine…

still lots to do, but just having a few flowers blooming has already lifted my spirits and encouraged me to keep working at it…

 

contrasts…

contrasts, flowers blooming, fresh snow outside, quiet and busy, shopping

been quiet and busy, kind of odd…

this morning I watched TV and did a few chores around the house…  went shopping with my daughter and son-in-law and got a new ottoman and groceries…  thought I bought a rug to match one in my bedroom but was way off… the new one will work in the basement bathroom… still laughing about how far off I was on the match…

tried to fix my laptop to no avail… which is particularly sad, as Crystal had it so that WordPress would work before I played with it, sigh…

the rest of the day I watched more TV and napped…  I am getting rather used to the PVR…

got some good shots of the snow this morning, and still can’t believe there was more on the ground when I woke up…  although I think what fell since last night has all melted by now…

flowers blooming inside and snow covered outside...

was given information from a friend in case anything happened to her… we talked a bit about the whole mortality thing…  and then I watched a show which talked about harvesting body parts… it felt rather close to home and I was wishing I had someone to talk to about it, but didn’t think calling one of the girls would be a good plan…

well, off to bed… maybe tomorrow the computer will get fixed…
