yesterday I received a beautiful bouquet of hyacinths… I’ve never had them as cut flowers, always in soil…
what a lovely treat…
they are in a vase on the living room table and I am looking forward to them opening and scenting the house…

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;-)…

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;-)…

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…

my hyacinth is growing, but it sure looks odd… last night we had quite the conversation about it, lol…
had some hot chocolate and a tiny slice of the last bit of my Christmas treats…
nice end to a long day…

been enjoying some beautiful flowers lately…
the cutest little orchid…
and I’ve been watching and waiting for my amaryllis to grow and bloom… I bought two at the same time and the one my daughter had bloomed beautifully at Christmas time…
mine did nothing for over a month… now it has started to grow in a manner that looks more like a hyacinth… will be interesting to see what happens…
a rose from the beginning of the week…

beloved, big girl pants, flowers, fried egg, hyacinth, memories, pink, purple, replicate, sandwich, scent, widow
thinking of my beloved a lot recently… for the past few days I’ve been thinking of his fried egg sandwiches…
this morning I made an open-faced version using some of the French bread from La Belle Baguette that I picked up yesterday…
I can’t replicate what he did… they were always especially yummy… although that might have to do with how much butter he would add to the bread, lol… and the eggs were always perfectly cooked with soft yolks…
I picked up a few hyacinths the other day… left one at work and brought one home for the bedroom… just love the scent as they open… as it bloomed, discovered that it was pink… I usually get the purple ones…
made me realize how much pink there is currently in the bedroom… I held the hyacinth up to the new curtains which have purples and pinks in them… then realized that my afghan has pink in it as well… and when I put away some laundry in the closet – which I recently hung by colour – I spotted some pink as well…
very interesting as pink has never really been one of my colours…
