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!!

I Just Want To Go For A Drive...Destination Unknown

And when I say "destination unknown", 

that usually means somewhere by the beach, or the inlet.

We drove through the town of Point Pleasant Beach, 

home to the Beach by the Jetties,

and the Sweet Shop on the Boardwalk for a Sweet Treat.

Cappuccino truffles

Next up, the Inlet where we watched the Rachel Hailey come in.

This was the first time I have ever seen this commercial fishing boat.

We watched this commercial fishing boat come in from the ocean and park along the dock.

There were a lot of these... 

Ringed-Billed Gulls

And...

There are so many pretty Murals in Point Pleasant, most with a oceany vibe.

It was a slow paced, relaxing drive...taking everything in.

The temperatures were in the 70's, the sky was blue, with not a cloud in sight.
This was all about the journey and had nothing to do with the destination!
