one day in the garden


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


daisies on the kitchen table



buttercups at the edge of the fields



dandelions in the clover



zinnias in cutting gardens


bee balm by the wooden fences and wild vetch interspersed


though there is snow on the ground still...and more predicted yet

I can feel warm spring days and flowers calling to me.

Flowers are like old friends - family you don't always get to see

Every year you wait anxiously for the signs of their arrival

walking past the tiny green shoots

and then one day they arrive

bobbing their colourful heads and filling the air with their sweet fragrance

as if to say...yes we missed you too and isn't it nice to see you again

after such a long, dormant winter.

    I think the northeast is a ways off from seeing some pretty blooms any time soon!!! But i also love it when they begin to shoot out of the ground.....here's hoping by mid April that will happen!!

    I, too, have been thinking about the wonderful things we have in store when it comes to flowers and warm spring days! I can hardly wait to get out and dig around in the dirt a bit.

    Beautiful flowers, and what a nice thought - greeting them like old friends or family that we look forward to seeing. It's been cold this week, but we're still seeing signs of spring.

    They are wonderful, and I adore wildflowers! I do not like it when Phil mows down the dandelions. These really do have a spirit of simplicity, yet are just as gorgeous to me as the big cultured flowers.

    Lovely flowers! We have daffodils in bloom as well as a few others in the garden. Definitely feels like spring.

    Lovely images that give me the hope of Spring. We are still covered in snow here and as I type snow is gently falling...again. :) Hope you have a relaxing weekend.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
