Snow Drops

Yesterday we had the most wonderful weather! It gets us excited for the real spring weather we'll be getting in a couple of weeks. We hear that there will be bad weather again this week, but we know that warmer weather is on the way. In the late afternoon, I discovered that a little clump of snow drops has pushed its way up through the mud and old leaves and is blooming gloriously. This morning, I think I'm seeing a few more blooming around the arbor trellis. They are my first flower this year. Welcome sweet springtime!

I dont jump in, but I do walk in fast, and then dunk under to get wet all at once. It is much better.

Mary Lou, I really understand why you would not want to join the crowd at the beach at 3 in the afternoon to save a place to see fireworks at dusk. I'm sure they must be spectacular, but we can now remember spectacular and the allure of being home or close to home right after the fireworks is too strong. Good choice.

I forgo (ed) (went) whatever the fireworks this year too. THe big ones were last night, and you have to get to the beach about 3 in the afternoon to get a place anywhere close, and since I can not walk far, I said Nope! We went to my Nephew's wedding yesterday and I came home pooped. SO I went to bed early and watched the neighbors blow up the world through my bedroom window. I Am so glad the woods did not catch fire.

Lorraine, I can understand your dismay at that meal! I can't make myself eat liver, but I could eat beets, at least a very small portion. Our tastes do change. I have learned to eat, and usually like, carrots and sweet potatoes. When I was a kid I didn't like watermelon, but now I like it, so I know our tastes do change.

I used to hate beets as a kid. My mom always served them with liver and onions, which actually used to make me gag. I would sit at the table for hours because I wouldn't eat them and my parents were part of the "clean plate club." Now I like pickled beets. Sometimes our taste for certain things change.

I have a whole backyard of those...my renters let them all die, and now they are pretty in their own way, so I just left them.

Mary Lou, that's exciting news. It took such a long time, didn't it! As it grows taller, you can take a cutting from it and root it and the plant will start branching out. It will bleed a milky liquid and you need to let that dry a day or two before you put it into water to root. It should grow beautifully now.
Thanks for telling me.

Hi, Phyllis. You're on to a good thing. Our older friends really need our continued visits and friendship. Nice to see you here. You're right. It really is rewarding to visit our friends.
