Greetings! My 2nd blooming daffodils finally opened up so my dear husband brought in a nice bouquet of them for me. Sweet.
I'm using my peacock vase today. :-)
It's a gray day here and chilly outside so our pellet stove is burning and warming our hearts and hands.
These early bloomers are so cheerful and I think of the bouquets to come, roses, irises, mock orange, azaleas, rhododendrons and of course our dahlias from our cutting garden. That is a lot to look forward to. What flowers do you have in your garden for bouquets?
I have one more color in my blanket to go before I weave in the ends and begin on the last 15 color repeat.. then a border. Again, doing the blankets is not a race for me so I hardly ever finish on time for the crochet-a-long - but I'm okay with that as I like the process. :-)
When we were leaving the college campus where I got my Covid vaccine, I stopped the car and snapped this photo of an espaliered tree on this big wall of a building. I wish I knew what this was as the flowers look like apple blossoms but it seems early for them. Do any of you gardeners have an idea what this is?
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Gorgeous tree, but I don't know what it is. It's been beautifully trained. I usually grow sweet peas, so hopefully there will be some of them in the summer, also dahlias and cosmos. Hopefully there will be some bees as well. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Time with your grandsons and a drive up the gorge sounds wonderful. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteOh that trained tree is gorgeous. I think it is an apple or cherry blossom.
ReplyDeleteMmm Ham here too. I ordered it from the deli at walmart. Darned good. Thinly sliced honey ham.
Would love gorge photos. !
I wonder if it might be a cherry as the horizontal branches are so close together. It’s very pretty whatever it is. Love your daffodils too. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love your blanket! I made the Meadow Blanket colour story version and finished it a couple of weeks ago, but I like the way the colours look on yours, so I'm making a cover for my new bible in your colour way. I have lots of hellebores flowering right now so I might pick a few for a little jug in my kitchen window. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils are gorgeous... so cheery! You have really made rapid progress on the blanket, it's lovely. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love your blanket. Mine is still in the bag, lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso the espaliered tree is lovely.
And nothing better than to have enough flowers so you can cut some and bring them in!
Thanks for posting, Teresa! I enjoyed visiting your cozy home, pellet stove glowing, gorgeous Daffodils in a jadeite vase, jadeite cup candle lit, and your beautiful blanket. Hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend. I plan to get my first dose of vaccine Sunday ((hugs)) 😃💞🌷
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the tree is, but it's sure beautiful and unusual in the way it's being trained. The daffodils are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your comment on my post about collecting jadeite. I would like to begin collecting something when we get settled, I'm just not sure what.
Your blanket is looking great. What kind of border will it have?
Take care and have fun with the boys. A ham dinner sounds great. Yum!
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
The progress on your blanket is wonderful, such a beautiful array of colours. The daffodils are stunning, a firm favourite of mine along with tulips. The peacock vase is a delight. Have fun with the boys, the ham sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteDear Teresa, so lovely to read about your vaccin, your colorfull daffodils, jadeite and blanket!! The pink tree at the wall is so cute! Some kind of cherry? I have to do about 12 colorlines of my blanket before I can start the border! In the mean time I have been working a lot, at school. Kindergarden is part of the primary school and is named first and second group. Some of the classes I know very well, because I go around a lot. Last year with Easter the schools were closed, but now we can tell about it, sing about it and craft about it, which is so great! Weather is still cold, but we see more and more flowers and blossoms, so spring is at the doorstep!! Stay safe, lots of love, Janneke.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous daffodils particularly in the jadeite vase. It does look like trained apple blossom, maybe an early variety. Enjoy your grandsons. I’m off to do some seed sewing; sweet peas and tomatoes today. I have some dahlias to plant too. B x
ReplyDeleteYour daffodils are so pretty! I don't know what that climbing thing is but is's beautiful. The cherries and magnolias are in bloom here finally but that's all in flowering trees. The forsythias are getting ready to pop and that's late for them I think. Araignee
ReplyDeleteReally cool how the tree has been trained to grow on the wall like that. Very pretty. Those daffs are so very lovely. And your blanket is coming along nicely. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeletelove love loving your meadow blanket Teresa, it looks so bright and summery in your home. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI love the daffodils in your peacock vase, Teresa! I have the same variety I see from your garden. Your home looks so lovely and cozy with your pellet stove burning. And your blanket is lovely. Enjoy your time with the grands.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers and blanket look wonderful. I love that tree, I haven't seen one like that before. Stay safe Teresa.
ReplyDeleteHello Teresa. Love daffodils.At the moment I have some beautiful double ones in a Cath Kidston jug in front of the woodburner.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have flowers for cutting in my garden.
I am looking forward to Thursday when I will, fingers crossed, see my son, d.i.l. and grandsons for a few hours, outdoors. It will have been 6 months.😢 we are still not allowed to meet indoors.
Hugs Anne x
Your daffodils look gorgeous in your jadeite vase. So pretty. We had a mixed weekend - gorgeous weather on Saturday and then rain all day today. And cooler temps. The kids are back so we are no longer on cat duty. I will work tomorrow and then Tuesday we get our first vacinnation shot!! Woo-Hoo~~~~
ReplyDeleteYour daffodils are nice. There are so many in our neighborhood. I have quite a few now. I need to get some more into the ground as 2 are in small pots and still grow good. I need to get a couple more pots for plants as a few are broken due to them being plastic and ice/cold breaks them.
ReplyDeleteYour afghan is pretty!!
I have 2 hellebores. I thought one was a different color but 2nd one came up different than I expected this year. Who knows? Phil was going to go outside this afternoon to take care of some of the cut branches and move them in an area together. They were not removed from our property but it did save us money. Will get it taken care of soon. I was going to go out there as well and work on my potted plants. It poured down rain this afternoon and got colder with some breeze. We decided to stay inside. We did not do much at all today. Enjoyed church this a.m. Have a good week, my friend!!! :'}
I am salivating looking at that whippy chocolate icecream. Could the blossom be cherry?
ReplyDeleteJust been away with van doing blog catchups. Meant to say how cute Honey is and Paige grown so much oh my.
