Our pair of purple hyacinths are in full bloom now and oh my goodness, do they ever smell wonderful!
What is funny is that they bloomed at a different rate, in the same window. One of the blooms tipped over - so I used one of my big agates to prop it up. :-)
We had snow this morning.. but it was fleeting.
Buddy is cozy in his bed by the pellet stove.. he snuggles into one end of it, kinda cute.
I have to leave our warm, cozy home to head off in a few minutes to volunteer at Multnomah Falls. Today will be fun as my best friend from 7th grade, Shirley, will be joining my younger sister, Denise, and I for lunch AND we'll be training her to volunteer at the falls, too! Denise will be travelling a lot this summer and Shirley said she would become a volunteer and fill in for her! I'll try to get some photos of the falls as I hear they are roaringly full. They were all iced over last week! OK, gotta jet. Hope you're having a fun Thursday! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
My hyacinths are a bit away yet but yours are a glorious preview! And your stove, oh that stove! I have stove envy... A lovely warming post. Heather x
ReplyDeleteThe hyacinths are looking great Teresa and I can really imagine that glorious smell. Hope you had fun at the falls,

Your hyacinths are beautiful--as it your snow.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day:)
Blessings, Aimee
Such a beautiful colour - the hyacinths are gorgeous. Buddy is so cute curled up there keeping snug. We have had our woodburner lit tonight as it has gone very cold and snow is threatened for the weekend. I usually love the snow but my family are going to be visiting for a family christening and I so hope everyone will make it. Love Anne x
ReplyDeleteAwe, look at Buddy, he's adorable. Definitely in the best place to stay cosy, too!

Love those hyacinths and WILL get a plant next time I see them in the shop. I wonder how long the flowers last and do they come back ? Have a great day at the falls. xoxox
ReplyDeleteOoh! My very favorite color! The hyacinths are gorgeous Teresa. Buddy looks comfy and cozy. Our Chloe was happy to get back in front of her fireplace last night too.
ReplyDeleteThe falls were roaring when we went by yesterday and not one car in the parking area! I don't think I've ever seen that before. The rain was pouring down. (Dennis asked if I wanted to stop to see the falls like we usually do, but I declined!)
Advice please Miss Blogger expert-I can't post photos from my computer into blogger now. It worked before I went to Portland and it works from my iphone. I have photos on the computer that I wanted to post though that aren't on my iphone. Any ideas friend?
Blessings,
Betsy
Teresa, I figured it out all on my own. The pictures are posted. I don't know what I did differently but it worked this time. Sorry to have bothered you. I need to pay you a retainer!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Teresa what a beautiful color hyacinth! I can smell them, yummy! Buddy does look so cosy and cuddly in his little bed. Oh, how I love dogs! Jack is jealous of his cosy, warm and toasty spot!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun day and a great day tomorrow.

Oh what beautiful photos of the purple hyacinth! I love them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Hiacinths!! and love the shot of Buddy, he knows the best place to be, although if he was here in Oz he would be very warm from the hot days ☺☺
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color...the flower is soooo beautiful. Hope you had a wonderful time with yr sister and yr friend. It's so nice o visit with friends. ;) buddy looks so cute n cozy :) he's a cutie !
ReplyDeleteI can smell that Hyacinth right through my monitor! Yummmmmm! Every time...literally EVERY time I pass them on display in the market, I have to pick them up and breathe them in. I have a couple in my yard, but I look really silly if I get down on my hands and knees to get low enough to try to smell them...and then there's always the folly of watching me trying to get back up again! LOL Hope your week has been wonderful!!!! Hugs, Annette
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of those gorgeous hyacinths! And what a cute little creature Buddy is, curled up in such a small space :) Wishing you a happy weekend, Teresa!

Sooooo pretty! And buddy is such a smart fellow all cosy next to the fire :) Hope you had a good day at the Falls. I am having fun putting more rows on the cowl, with chores and errands and Scrabble in between :) xx from Gracie
ReplyDeletePure joy..love these spring flowers...the scent must be amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your joys..it is chilly here today too...lots of sun by soooooo cold! I declare it a baking day today! Happy weekend to you.
Fabulous colour and Phil says can he have your barn lol x
ReplyDeleteLovely window filled with plants. I've never forced bulbs indoors before. Must give it a try one of these days. But because of the heat, we have tinted windows so don't get a lot of sun. And because of that, also now that it is in the 40's == it starts to feel like an icebox. I know it is much colder where you are but it feels very cold here even when it really isn't. Buddy sure looks comfy cozy and so cute in his little bed by the fire. Best wishes, Tammy
