Lazy Rainy Sunday

Life has been busy.. how about you?  Seems like there is something planned every day.  But today.. today is a lazy day of rest, cartoons, bacon cooking (by Kristi), Sunday paper reading, blogging, flower photo taking, dog on lap, rain outside.. by the fire.  Nice.


My hyacinth bulb was a mystery as to what color it would be and guess what?  It's white!  I'm usually a color person, but I love white flowers too.. like my white azalea and white lilac.  I wish I had "smell-a-vision" on here, to share the aroma of this beauty!  I had both of the little boys smell it yesterday, they were amazed!  My Narcissus is hanging in there for now.  See Grandpa in the background.. reading the Sunday paper.. with 2 boys on his lap who're watching Tom & Jerry cartoons.  


Next to bloom will be the little iris.  That will be fun to see what color it is!


Having Spring flowers blooming in your home in January is sublime!  I might have to pick up some more!


Even Buddy the dog is relaxing today.. on the back of the love seat, in the middle of things to keep an eye on everyone and everything.  Kristi is having coffee and checking her phone.  


It's raining and wet here.. the moss is happy.  


Soft, squishy, electric green moss.  


I think I will crochet on Caleb's blanket today.  I want to get it done so I can do something different.  Kristi is making BLTs for everyone right now.. wish you could smell the house.  Caleb said he doesn't want bread, tomato, lettuce, mayo or mustard.  LOL!  


Have a great week!  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  3. What a lovely day! Everyone looks so comfortale. I haven't had BLT's in a long time. That sounds so GOOD! I love caleb's request! I think I need to buy some flowers. It is too gloomy around here. I did get out and it felt marvelous! Funny how 30+ degrees can feel like a heat wave after the beginning of the week. There was a turn around of almost 60 degrees! And that doesn't count the windchills! It is so wonderful to see how loving your family is! Hugs, Teresa

  10. Such such a a happy, content day you had today Teresa. After being in your home I can picture each room and the warmth in them. :-) your spring flowers are so sweet. You inspired me, so when Dennis and I were at the store today I looked for some flowers to brighten my space but didn't find anything. It's rainy here this evening too, but was nicer earlier in the day so we took a drive out to the lake to see how the trailer fared in the 65+ mph wind yesterday. All is well and the lake is frozen over completely. Now I'm cozy in my chair crocheting and checking blogs. Happy.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  12. Oh yum .. that toasted sandwich looks so delicious - bet it tasted good. I love your little indoor garden - that hyacinth (one of my favourites) is doing extremely well. I have one of last years bulbs showing about an inch above the soil - I'm hoping it comes to something. What a lovely day you all had on the weekend - times like that are so nice. Have a good week. xox

  13. Our moss is very happy too AND I am very happy that it seems to be spreading in our Japanese garden:) Love your white hyacinth--I love white flowers.
    Did you see we're supposed to get some sun this week? I am doing a happy dance in anticipation:)
    Blessings,

  15. BLT's are my FAVORITE, Teresa. The food at your house always looks amazing. Kristi must be as good a cook as the rest of you! Your lazy day looks so relaxed and peaceful. I love seeing your flowers. My little paperwhite narcissus is all done now and I planted it in the yard this weekend, in the hope that it will take and bloom there from now on in the spring.

  16. Our lazy day was on Friday after sending our oldest back to college and waking to a very gray day. Sure is nice just to hang out sometimes and not have to run here and there. Have a great new week. Tammy

  18. I don't know where the time goes! I think there is a "Timestealer" who creeps into our home every day. I was really disappointed with my last pot of hyacinths, very quick to go over and the blooms weren't as big as usual, also almost scentless. Luckily the market man had some last week so I am hoping these will be better. Some bulbs are poking through the soil, roll on Spring! Have a lovely week with lots of time for special moments.

  19. Beautiful white hyacinth. My favourite bulb. I tend to get hyacinths mainly before Christmas, yet they really are a spring bulb, aren't they. And after Christmas I start longing for narcissus. Unfortunately we do not tend to get them here until closer to spring. So tulips tend to be the flower for this time of year here.

    Sorry I have not been around (as much as I had hoped to) lately. Yet I'm so glad you were able to get a Scandinavian style advent chandelier before Xmas. Thanks for your always so lovely comments. And belated happy new year!
