After waking up to -8 F/ -22 C a few days
ago and being surrounded by white & gray outside,
it is hard not to think
of Spring.
So, I have started an amaryllis bulb,
hung some botanical prints from
an old book,
and brought a primula home from my
grocery trip today
~ it made
my day when I saw a display table
covered with those bold pink, yellow,
and red flowers.
I wish!!!! I hate the winter. I need heat! I'm originally from Phoenix and live in Colorado now. Not liking the cold or snow. . . at all!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I'm wondering if your vintage phone is in use, or just for prettiness?
ReplyDeleteI think we all start to think about spring in January... maybe it's because the days slowly start getting longer. Love your photos, that flower is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's the little things that make all the difference.
ReplyDeleteI have recently discovered your beautiful blog. I find your posts inspiring. If you were my neighbor, I'd have you over for tea!
ReplyDeleteOh my...we're on the same page! I came home with 3 primula pots yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the Sister Wendy book. We have her DVD. I just love her enthusiasm!

Oh how I wish it was Spring. This winter thing is getting to me. Instead I've dug out all my old gardening magazines and books and plan to spend the day tomorrow planning and dreaming of planting time.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the primroses appear at the store! Looking at your books, remember when they used to have Sister Wendy on PBS talking about all those paintings? Those shows were so interesting.
ReplyDeleteEvery little breath of spring we can find helps us make it through; doesn't it!!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping spring comes quickly for you. The photos are very lovely. Love the old telephone and those gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteIf this was facebook, I'd click "like." :) Love the glimpses of spring!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! I'm sick of winter too - surrounded by gray days here in Pittsburgh, PA
ReplyDeleteI'm always inspired by your blog. My amaryllis is looking about like yours, though not in such an original container. And I bought seeds when grocery shopping the other day, just because I needed some "spring"! As always your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great old telephone. Your botanical prints look stunning behind it.
