Title: Waiting for Spring.
I get it, girls. Aren’t we all? It’s hard to believe but in the not too distant future, there will be pots full of flowers on this table. The pretty background I often use for photos will be back.
I cannot wait.
Our local nursery has reopened for the season – I think that happened about a week ago. I need to stop by and buy some seeds and potting soil. And some pansies, of course, as they are the first flowers that I pot in the spring. Next week, clean up begins on the property, though I’ve already carried lots of fallen tree branches up to the woods. Once I’m sure we have no more freezes in the forecast, I’ll started uncovering the garden beds.
The very thought of it brings me peace.
I’ve been under the weather the last few days with a sinus flare up. I’m still not feeling well.
The fabric eggs are in the yellow Fiesta compote. I’ll take a photo later today.
I’m about to finish James Lee Burke’s latest mystery – The Hadacol Boogie. I’ve read everything by Burke. He is a poet. A poet who writes about violence and crime but at the same time shows there is beauty in everything. I’m sure grateful for him.
When a fallen leaf from a rubber plant takes out part of the mini studio…
More on Friday.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
Feel better soon, Claudia. You have a weekend to enjoy. Happy April! Hugs, Elaine
Thank you so much, Elaine.
Stay safe.
It’s cold here today but warming up tomorrow, although, it is supposed to rain a lot this week.
Gosh, that leaf in the mini studio really points out how miniature those pieces are. They look so real!
I love that juxtaposition, Ellen.
Stay safe.
hope you feel better soon!
glad you can soon pick up some flowers and get them potted and planted outside. always nice to have fun and favorite things on the to-do list. :)

Enjoy your day of knitting, Kathy.
Stay safe.
We have had spring for a few weeks now and my allergies have been horrible. Starting to calm down a bit and I’m so glad. I had my iron infusion and a recheck of my blood and I’m doing so much better. Now to find some energy and enjoy some outdoor time when the pollen blows away!
Oh my allergies/sinuses – I’m not always sure which it is – are driving me crazy!
So happy you’re doing better, Linda.
Stay safe.
Hi Claudia, I know I have been missing in action lately. Our life has been crazy! I think I told you my son , who is 45, had open heart surgery. He is doing good now but what a nightmare experience. They had to put a mechanical valve in. He finally went back to work this week. Just as I thought things were calming down, Bill got appendicitis Friday night. I was up for 36 hours straight! Hope you are feeling better!
Poor Deb! Your family has really had a tough time lately. I’m happy your son is doing better. How is Bill doing now?
Stay safe.
Bill is doing good. We still have Gracie, our Golden, who was diagnosed with liver cancer 4 months ago but she is still with us. We cherish every day with her.

Whew! For a minute I thought Don had a guitar mishap!
I hear you on the sinuses. I had my sinus surgery on Monday and am hoping it helps. It wasn’t nearly so bad as the last time, some 20 years ago.
I’m itchy to get blooms too. I saw pansies at Kroger the other day — they looked a bit the worse for wear but it was a good sign!
Glad the surgery went well, Jeanie.
This is the tricky time – waiting until we can get our flowers. But we have to be patient, darn it.
Stay safe.
Claudia, along with the rain,,,,,the news,,,,,the passing of time, the need for peace and tranquility and yet the longing for stimulation……it is a wonder we even get out of bed. Still, I have to brace myself for the oncoming season of allergies. Determined to nip them in the bud. (sure) Take care …..fellow sufferers. Never sure what the day holds.
We made it …..now for another cup of coffee. Looking forward to your photos…..I need inspiration.

My allergies will be a pain in the tush. It’s a given.
Thanks so much, Maria.
Stay safe.
How did I not realize yesterday was Wednesday? That rubber tree leaf really puts things into perspective in the miniature world. Nice capture.
It is raining here today…and probably tomorrow. After the hydrangea cleanup, we moved to shaping our evergreens. Most of that is done…just waiting for the next dry day to finish. Then it’ll be unto cleaning up the beds.
The nurseries are opening up soon here…April 23rd seems to be a common date. I can’t wait either.
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope today will be better for you. Just rest up and enjoy your day! ;)
Feeling a bit better today, Donnamae.
Thank you so much.
Stay safe.
