While I was out yesterday...
My lovely "gifted" Hyacinth...
Decided to make herself known...
I had taken the photo to the right,on Wednesday afternoon...
But...
When I arrived home late yesterday afternoon...
There she was...
In all her mauvey purpley bluey glory...
She changes in every shot...
Must be the lighting!!!
Thanks Devon...
She is just lovely...
Here she is...
For you all to enjoy as well......
Still trying to get the "hang" of my new camera...
Seems my "macro' shots are still a bit blurry...
Oh well...onward and upward....
Visited the cottage yesterday...lots of unexpected work to be done
on our beloved sunporch...
But....the old doll is certainly worth it...
Took a lot of photos...will put together and post this weekend..
Vivian coming for he afternoon...so excited...I am going to kiss
her little face off!!!!
Hope you are all having a great day...
Dreary...wet...soggy...warm here...snow melting!!!

The flower is so pretty! Wish I could smell it too!! Your dinner sounds good! Have fun with the little one, and enjoy showing her off.
ReplyDeleteHey...couple of questions for you Linda.....
1. Do you live in Canada?
2. How far away is your cottage from your home?
That's all....for now.
; ) xo Kris
To be honest...Hyacinths kinda smell like Narcissus...not really all that nice!!!
DeleteI think they smell better IN the garden...just sayin'..haha..
I will email you...yes I am in Canada...and proud of it!!!
Gorgeous springtime colour for a dreary winter day. That is a great pick-me-up. Enjoy your afternoon with Vivian. Oh. It's sunny here. Beautiful blue skies too. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good pick-me-up....If not for the color alone!!!
DeleteNo sun here...you are lucky!! but...we did have sun yesterday :o)
I can't believe how that opened while you were out...if you had been home, it's like you would have actually watched it happening! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been cool!!! Glad I took a pic the day before!!!
DeleteSuch beautiful colouring .... and I bet a wonderful scent as well. It is a wonderful splash of colour on a dull day.
ReplyDeleteSome rain, lots of clouds today. Keep enjoying the new camera, each photo is a new learning experience.
I know you are enjoying the afternoon with Vivian as much as she is enjoying the time with you.
Still crappy here...back from the grocery store...the crowds went wild!!!
DeleteJust put her down for a nap...I think Gramma needs one too!! hahaha..
Oh darn...I knew there was something else I had to pick up.......
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the hyacinth.Did p/u a miniature red rose.....
Your dinner sounds yummy...We are having our fav. casserole.
Homemade butternut squash soup...
Cesar salad.... Have the kids coming for dinner......
Back you go to the store!!!!
DeleteYour dinner sounds cosy..enjoy the kids..
I also picked up some scallops......love those!!!
It's when we take time to look at a flower when we realize how beautiful it really is. Love those pics, Linda. Love a home-made pizza, too, I must admit. Well, there goes new year's resolution #2.... I won't blame you, of course ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely words coming from you...Grumpy!!!
DeleteWhat was #2????
No Pizza...or no looking at flowers!!?? hahaha...
The hyacinth is divine, delightful and de-lovely!!! So glad she opened up before you left on your hols. You can enjoy her as she changes.
