Happy St.Patricks Day

Spring Has Sprung But Will It Stay...

 On Wednesday, I opened every window in the house....

the temperature was 70 degrees outside and I could hear the neighborhood children laughing and playing.

It brings me comfort and reminds me of when my boys were young and playing in the yard.

How do you feel about daylight savings time...I have a love/hate relationship with it.

I really enjoy the longer days and feel the benefit from the extra sunshine.

But...the longer days make me feel like I should be "busier" in the evening, settle down later.

I like when the sun goes down earlier, when the house gets dark and the busy time of day has ended.

I can settle in with my knitting and a little fun television.

On Thursday, this happened...

So I turned my attention to my little inside garden.

All of my plants needed a little love and attention.

I always save my egg shells, dry them out and share them with my plants.

It makes them happy.

This is my Thanksgiving/Christmas Cactus.

I think it is a little confused as it has 2 blooms on it.

Maybe it blooms for St. Patrick's day as well.

I pruned everybody, cut off the dead stuff, fluffed the soil and fed them all.

This Flaming Katy is full of flowers...

and my Cyclame has lot's of new leaves and 2 buds which are now flowers.

I have a lot of Green Onions that have supplied me with Chives all winter long.

Everybody's back in their spots, I have 2 confused cactus...

soaking up the sun now!!
