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;-)…

last night I walked home after having my hair cut, and purposely took a path that would take me by a number of lilac bushes…
I was able to stop at each one and take photos and enjoy the beautiful scent…
tonight when I drove the same path, with all the windows open, the perfume was so delicious… the wind must have been blowing in just the right direction… what a treat…
unfortunately I wasn’t able to bring any home… but I have pictures;-)…

on my way home tonight stopped by the creek to get a shot of the high water/ice…
noticing more and more each day how quickly the snow is melting away… makes me happy…
before too long I’ll be sitting on the back deck by the pond…
enjoying the hyacinth which is blooming so nicely…
sadly I can barely smell it’s beautiful perfume… my cold is giving me a run for my money, lol…
and I was very pleased to discover the purple Superstore boxes that my kids dropped off today… I traded some green ones…
little things continue to make me happy…

didn’t have to be at work until eleven so I relaxed with a cup of tea in the living room while enjoying the perfume from the blooming hyacinth…
such a delicious smell… and I was so pleased that it turned out to be purple, lol…
also saw a bunny hop across the street while I was soaking up the quiet…
this afternoon I received this in my email…
a Hershey’s kiss in a purple wrapper from my kids who are visiting Las Vegas… makes me giggle because Hershey chocolate tastes like soap to me… but I love kisses…
to bookend the great start to the day, tonight a dear friend came over with her freshly made hot cross buns… they are soooo delicious…
we had a lovely visit and both enjoyed the new orchid which I picked up at the Manitoba Orchid Society’s show and sale yesterday afternoon at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory…
the beauty that surrounds us is most amazing…

been a tough week, so last night I treated me to a lovely bouquet of flowers…
didn’t open the package and brought them to the office to perk up my space…
they look and smell wonderful and were a great bit of beauty as we worked on a project… enjoyed the perfume and looked at them many times throughout the day…
from one of my shots I made wallpaper for my phone…
going to take a few more pictures tomorrow before I start work…
lucky to be able to treat myself…
