I’m really keeping this one brief and doing the wordless Wednesday thing here. Well, except for these few words. Tomorrow or Friday, I’ll do a post on what I’ve decided to try regarding wellness.

I’m really keeping this one brief and doing the wordless Wednesday thing here. Well, except for these few words. Tomorrow or Friday, I’ll do a post on what I’ve decided to try regarding wellness.





One from the front yard:

And one from the backyard:

Almost forgot to post tonight!
Not too much to share so I’ll just let you enjoy some photos from my orange tulip obsession.


Look, do you see the mini tulips that sprang up? Little unexpected baby orange tulips!

A look inside a regular opened tulip.

And then, I noticed this double tulip (sure there’s a more official name but I have no idea what it is).

It’s supposed to storm overnight with a wind advisory. I sure hope my orange tulips are still there in the morning.

Almost missed posting today. Only going to share a couple of photos as it’s already 9p.m. and close to bedtime.
It’s a new week with new possibilities!


I’ll be back tomorrow for a proper posting on Happy Homemaker Monday.

Day 106/365
Today feels like winter again but yesterday was a glorious spring day! I know soon we’ll get more of those and fewer of these cold, winter feeling ones. A few photos from a sunny and warmer spring day. 




More quotes about spring can be found here on Bliss Quote as well as on Pinterest.

Added a few new spring flowers outside. Just because the sun was shining today. After many rainy and cloudy days.
Anemone

Columbine 

And of course, pansies. 


Day 82/365
This seemed like a good thing to share on the last day of winter.
daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty…
(From A Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare)



(I happened upon the quote while browsing Pinterest.)

Day 63/365
Today wasn’t a very exciting day. Here, let me tell you all about it. Nothing wrong with not very exciting. At all. Just a few small things to share about today.
The amaryllis bloomed.

Also, a hawk flew through the backyard while I was filling the bird feeders.

The cat took a nap.

A daffodil bloomed.


One of my house finches visited the feeder. I hadn’t seen my house finches in quite a while with so many sparrows hanging around the feeders.

I watched too much tv wrapped in a cozy blanket (it was cold outside) but it never rained despite the sky looking like this a lot today.

Other things today for which there are no photos: A lot of work texts, I’m now working the entire month of July. Some anniversary trip planning with the husband. A few texts about our upcoming dinner out on Saturday. Another about when to have the next Mom’s Night Out. An adult version of green eggs and ham for lunch (spinach, cheese, and ham omelette). An order delivery (Christmas present for the kids).
Nothing really noteworthy just typical daily life things around here.


Day 60/365
Keeping it super short today. Captured this sky while out doing a bit of retail therapy. 
The current weather: by the time I arrived home, the sun was shining. It’s currently 61 degrees and partly cloudy. A cold front supposedly moves in tonight. High of 32 predicted for tomorrow. Rained most of the morning.
I miss the sun in the wintertime. I miss being able to step out on my front porch and tear off a sprig of rosemary, mint, or lavender to crush between my fingers. Inhaling the scent of the herbs and flowers as I sit on the bench.
Rain or snow, needed or not, I’m tired of all the brown and not seeing the sun nearly often enough. I know though that tomorrow brings us one day closer to spring and more flowers and sunshine.
How are you coping with these last few days of winter?
