this morning I was happy to discover two blooms on one of the morning glories…

that encouraged me to do some seeding for the garden…

I had decided not to do any, but felt a need to start morning glories so they can begin blooming earlier…

I cut toilet paper rolls in half, then cut slits at one end, folded them and put a piece of tape across the bottom…

then I put all of those into a spinach clamshell, filled them with soil, and dropped a few seeds into each one… I also planted three of them with grape tomatoes…

watered each one and closed the clamshell…

now for the waiting game… and we won’t mention the snow that was falling as I wrote this, sigh…

tossed…

tossed all of the old flowers out today and reorganized a few pots…

moved one of the violets into the lovely head vase from my New Year’s Day bouquet…

and spotted some new blossoms…

that was a lovely treat…

house is tidy and ready for company;-)…

I love the perfume that hyacinths produce, but it is very strong…

recently, I had company and knew that strong scents were difficult for them…

so I bagged both of the hyacinth plants to help dissipate the smell, lol…

they looked a bit funny but are now back in in the open and delighting me with the scent;-)…

a few fun surprises today…

when I looked out the window first thing this morning the sky seemed fluffy as it was filled with cute little clouds…

a bit later, as I was walking around the living and dining rooms, I spotted this tiny morning glory;-)…

and the purple hyacinths have started to scent the air… I get the lovely perfume as I walk into the kitchen or living room…

all very lovely as it was overcast and not very energizing…

and it snowed again, sigh…

what a delightful afternoon…

a friend was coming over so I went out and did a quick shovel of the snow… there wasn’t really much out there, although the wind was a bit chilly… it was nice to be outdoors for a few minutes…

when she arrived we had tea in the living room and a great visit… multiple topics were covered as we discussed life and the odd times we are living in…

it was so lovely to have an in-person conversation…

she brought me a lemon loaf and also picked up some tulips and hyacinth at my request…

after she left, I had a fun time filling vases with tulips and distributing them in every room in the house…

there might still be huge amounts of snow outside, but in here it is Spring;-)…

today the kids came to drop off the car… and shovel the driveway… it was sunny and a balmy -16C…

there was a lot of snow because it hadn’t been cleared for at least two big snows…

didn’t take them very long and then they backed Indi in so it will be easy for me to get out tomorrow… seems strange to see her in the driveway, lol…
