tgif… always seems strange to me how long four day weeks after a holiday are… you’d think the week would fly by, but no…

was very excited to see these adorable African violet flowers which I discovered at my desk this afternoon…

the plant was turned so I hadn’t noticed the flowers until I moved it… makes me happy…

since yesterday I’ve been thinking of the grilled cheese and onion sandwich that I was going to have for my dinner from the last of the sourdough rye bread I picked up at the bakery…

it was delicious…

started my day with this lovely shot in the living room… these flowers have been blooming since February 5th when I picked them up…

trimmed them down and tossed a few out but they still look fabulous…

then it was off to La Belle Baguette where I collected two types of bread for today’s Souper Thursday… chose a loaf of French and a Rye Sourdough… and finally three different tarts to share… yum…

this bakery is way too close to home, lol… in the summer I would walk over on Saturday or Sunday to pick up a treat…

on my way home I stopped in and got a hair cut… great to have it trimmed up… still has lots of purple in it…

flowers, tasty treats and fresh hair… pretty good day…

had a lovely time wandering around the office and taking pictures of the various roses…

I can’t explain how much joy I get from having flowers around…

seeing them wherever I turned brought a smile to my face…

between the roses and the fact that the daylight is getting longer every day my spirits have certainly been lifted…

now if only the temperature would start to rise in a steady manner…

winter is often a down season for me… I really miss the light…

George always made sure I had lots of flowers throughout these darker months…

yesterday I was at the grocery store and bought flowers to brighten my space…

they will be in the living room and the bedroom at home and on my desk at work…

also noticing that the days are getting longer…

I already feel happier…

today I got an email from MyFitnessPal congratulating me on six years of using the app… I started using this one not too long after I started using my first Fitbit…

it is the place where I keep track of my calorie intake… it took a while to figure out how to get the most value from it…

today I also picked up flowers… they make me feel happy and in these darker and busy days put a smile on my face…

and when I got home and walked into the house it smelled wonderful as both of the hyacinth flowers were blooming…

what a treat…

enjoyed some beautiful flowers today…

was at the office for a few hours and the African violet was still blooming and looked so nice…

I was laughing when I got home to see that the hibiscus was blooming again… the buds started opening when my daughter arrived in the city… she and my son-in-law have been house-sitting for a friend and while she’s been gone it has not bloomed… she arrived home about five minutes before I took this shot…

finally, while I was out today, I picked up this cute little tree that was on sale at Safeway… I bought it instead of flowers;-)…

a lovely addition to my tree collection;-)…
