Spring flowers bring me so much joy…

on Sunday I picked up some daffodils for the house… as well as a bouquet for the office, a pot of mini roses and the cutest plant covered in blue flowers…

yesterday afternoon we had daffodils delivered at the office as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil Campaign...

this was how they looked at 4:30 yesterday…

here is how they looked at 8:30 am this morning…

open and sunshiny…

nice when a campaign raises funds and brightens people’s days…

having gone through a cancer diagnosis, I appreciate every opportunity to support the cause…

the time changed last night as we sprang forward…

for the longest time today I wasn’t exactly sure what time it really was because so many of my devices change themselves…

the tv, the phone, my Fitbit…

finally confirmed the time when putting something into the microwave which isn’t automated…

I like springing forward because it is much easier to change the devices that still need it by moving them forward an hour… going backwards always seems much more difficult, lol…

microwave, stove, car and grandfather clock all updated…

flowers are my attempt at springing;-)…

we always know when Spring is on the way when we get information about tulips and daffodils circulating around the office…

we always order, and get, the tulips first…

they are a fundraising campaign of the Lung Association…

this is close to my heart as my dad lived his whole adult life with emphysema, a debilitating disease…

it is wonderful to see flowers everywhere in the office;-)…

have decided that it needs to be Spring…

bought this cute little crocus plant and am enjoying watching the blooms open…

the sun is shining out there and it feels like Spring… in the house, lol…

except that the temperature is minus 34…

picked up a few Spring-y tops on Friday…

maybe if we imagine it enough, it will come sooner;-)…

today the middle grandson turned thirteen…

it is also the first day of summer…

took pictures in a circle in the garden this morning…

the daisies looked amazing..

once they finish blooming I will cut them back because they are in the middle of the path, lol…

tonight’s game was great fun and the birthday boy scored two goals…

my son-in-law had to use a wrench to get the lock off the nets so they could get them into place on the field so the game could begin…

game ended with a win and cupcakes for his teammates…

pretty great way to spend the first day of Spring…

dandelions…

early this morning I caught sight of a couple of robins in the front yard… I’ve heard them recently but these was the first ones I’ve seen… a sure sign of spring;-)…

had another visit with the physiotherapist… my knee is doing very well although the range of motion is not where he would like it to be… he poked and prodded and gave me different exercises to do for the next few weeks…

as I drove up the driveway I spotted the dandelion flowers and chive blooms…

according to the David Suzuki Foundation we should leave the dandelions to help the bee population… well, maybe that’s what I will do…

I think back to the number of times my girls brought me home bouquets;-)…

weather has been rather silly recently…

Thursday afternoon the sun was shining and there were puddles on the streets as I drove home… looked out the window in the evening and snow was falling…

Friday morning I took some pictures of the snow and the cool patterns that have formed as the snow melts…

since then there’s been lots of sunshine but temperatures have been below normal… today when the kids were here for dinner, the boys went down the street to play football in the field…

maybe, just maybe, Spring is coming…
