When it comes to planting bulbs for the spring I tend to procrastinate and grumble. Last fall, though, with Dale’s help, I planted over 100 bulbs in our front yard.

I had no idea back then how much joy these would bring me.

Have a healthy weekend, friends!

Just in time for spring, it’s my first amaryllis blossom of 2020, Bright Nymph! Remind me next year that these always take longer to bloom than I think they will and if I want flowers in January/February I need to plant the bulbs in November. Honestly, though, this beauty was totally worth waiting for . . . just look at the ruffles along the edge of those petals . . . and the colors are gorgeous, too.

So here we are at the weekend which doesn’t really feel like the weekend at all. Hang on to your hope, friends.

I take Jackie with me to the grocery store pretty much every Friday afternoon. The first thing we do when we get there is visit the floral department where we ooh and ahh over the flowers. And Jackie sniffs them which is just as adorable as you might think. Tulips were on sale last week and I told him he could pick 2 bunches and he chose purple and yellow. He’s got a good eye for color already!

Happy Weekend, friends!

Our first crocus is a little earlier than usual this year, almost by an entire week. An early spring sounds absolutely great to me right now.

Thanks for all of your kind thoughts for us for this weekend. I know I will feel your support as we gather to remember Randy. Have yourselves a great weekend!
