Happy Spring!!
A day late...
But better late than never...
The Flower Lady (aka Erika)
Brought me this lovely planter...
Chock full of Spring Bulbs...
Miniature Daffodils...
Purpley Blue Hyacinths...
And a lovely Burgundy Primula...
The Bulbs are all at different blooming stages...
Should last a good long time...
Then...
I can plant them in my garden...
To enjoy next year!!
Love the black stones...
And the piece of curly willow...
Thanks Erika...♥️♥️♥️
I have moved it to my foyer table...
Darker there...
And cooler...
Keep the bulbs going longer!!
It will definitely be the anchor for my Easter decor....
As usual I took way too many pics...
Do you have any Spring bulbs indoors at your home???
When we returned from our drive to the cottage yesterday...more on that later...
I could smell the Hyacinths as soon as we walked in the front door...
Lovely....
Hope you are all having a great day...
Yesterday was a glorious sunny warm day here and at the cottage...
Got up to 9*C here!!!
Lots more melting going on...
Today is very blustery...raining overnite...small peeks of sun every now and then...
Gonna curl up on the couch with my latest crochet...quite challenging!!
Think Burgers will be the star tonight...
With either Greek Salad...or sweet potato fries...no decision on that yet!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend...
Happy Spring!!!
Cheers! :o)

ReplyDeleteWe are taking a little couple that have latched on to us (I posted a picture a few weeks ago) to CoCo's for lunch. It's their 35 wedding anniversary. And they chose CoCo's for lunch...I have candles in my purse to put on their dessert. Shhh. Sending hugs.
You sneaky thing you!
DeleteWhat a great surprise that will be!

ReplyDeleteBurgers rule!
DeleteI am sure you will see some new shoots soon....
Exciting,eh?
In your last blog, love the way you show the cottage now in the blustery weather, as well as the lovely summery weather. And what a handsome photo of you and the BF! Today's daffodils are very cheery. Tonight is shepherd's pie as well as eggplant sautéed in olive oil and balsamic. Trying to clean out the fridge before the little trip. Have a nice rest of the weekend...
ReplyDeleteYes....I can hardly wait for that summery weather to return...
DeleteLove Shepherds pie....think I'll make that next week...
Do you use lamb or beef!
Fresh mashed potatoes? Or instant?
Beef and fresh mashed, but you probably have your own favourite recipe! :)
DeleteNope...I use beef and fresh mashed as well!
DeleteI know that some people use lamb...
Happy Spring! Such a beautiful day yesterday - that sun was glorious. Met a friend for lunch at El Catrin and we had a great time. Then I soaked up some rays for a while.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colours in your planter - just love the colour of the hyacinth. Burgies sound good. I am having pizza at the moment... ha!
With extra cheese? Hahaha!
DeleteYup!
DeleteYummy!
DeleteCan't hardly wait to make our burgers......
Lucky lady. Erica knows what her momma likes. :) Love that shade of yellow especially right now when we are all so colour deprived. It snowed all day today just when we were seeing our driveway again. :( That's March for you. I cooked all afternoon, Linda . I made a veggie lasagna for company tomorrow and a chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing. It was a good day to stay in. Better go fill the feeders now and get some fresh air. The photos of your home are beautiful. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteI love those kind of cooking days....always feel so good after all is done!
DeleteYou sure are good to your feathered friends♥️
No new snow here....but very windy!
Thanks! I do love my living room....love the couch...so comfy!
Enjoy your company tomorrow....
Are those photos of your homes to the right of your couch? One looks like your cottage.
ReplyDeleteYes Deb....actually both are the cottage...winter and summer...
DeleteI had taken the photos...had them enlarged and framed them!
Miss V always mentions the cottage♥️
That's really nice. It is certainly a much-loved cottage.
DeleteThat it is!
DeleteWhat a beautiful Spring floral arrangement!
ReplyDeleteYes it is, very thoughtful of my daughter....
DeleteToday is the first full day of spring, so you aren't late with your wishes. Lovely spring bloomers. I can't have hyacinths inside as the smell is so strong I'm forever sneezing. I do have some new inside plants that I'm sharing tomorrow for Sunlit Sunday. Wet snow and rain this morning but the sun is out now but it's getting colder. Next week looks more promising.
ReplyDeleteOh good....so I am not late!
DeleteThey are very strong....have them in the hallway! Hahaha!
I will check out your plants tomorrow....
Enjoy your evening!
Lovely arrangement...how very sweet of her! I love that the bulbs are staggered so you'll have something blooming for a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteWe had burgers last week...so yummy!
Yes...I like that too! A lot of thought went into the planning....
DeleteI also Loke the container....and the moss!
Will come in handy for other arrangements!
Beautiful flowers Linda and much nicer temperatures ~ looking forward to Spring . . . :)
ReplyDelete. . . . and very kind of Erika . . . :)
DeleteHi Eddie....
DeleteYes.....it was!
How is your weekend going?
Saw little P and his M & D yesterday.
DeleteBought a car seat and a buggy so I can take him out places now better weather is coming . . . yay . . :)
The car seat will let you take him everywhere!
DeleteDon't know what we would have done without ours!
You wil certainly enjoy the warmer weather with Peter!
Yes . . . it will open a few more things for Peter to enjoy . . . my sister could come with us as well . . . :)
DeleteFantastic!
DeleteSmall day trips.....he can sleep in his car seat!
Have a great week....
LOVE spring planters and that one is lovely!! Love the curley willow!
ReplyDeleteOh me too...I will keep the curly willow!
DeleteSun-shiny over here and I had mulch to put out. Busy day! Thank you for sharing such wonderful color!!
ReplyDeleteI was feeling a bit down until I visited! You always make me smile. (smile).
So nice to be out in the garden, Dixie....I will have to wait for that!
DeleteSorry you were feeling down....so nice of you to say such lovely things....
Such pretty spring flowers. So much colour. Happy spring, Linda!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you Martha!
DeleteThat is a beautiful planter full of springtime! I love the scent of hyacinth. =) I do hope you share that crochet soon. Always looking to be enabled... lol. It is RAINING still... Oh, I'm so weary of gray, wet days! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteStill struggling with the crochet Tanna....
DeleteThe pattern is very unforgiving! May have to switch gears.....soon!
Still raining? Oh dear....we are dipping into the frigid zone here again...oh well....
Enjoy your week!
Oooh that's pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't do well with hyacinths,the scent makes me feel sick...as I found out the year we visited the spring show in Toronto!
Jane x
They are quite strong...I will say!
DeleteBut...no complaints here....
Did you enjoy the show?
It's a little chilly for happy spring here today, -19C this morning.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
DeleteBut.....so beautiful where you are, Furry!
Beautiful flowers to perk up a not so nice day.....Cold and windy....and colder tonight!!
ReplyDeleteYup....here too!
DeleteAt least the sun is shining!
What a thoughtful gift..We don't spoil ourselves with such pretty arrangements..a bouquet here and there but rarely an arrangement..I love primulas and daffs and hyacinths..I do have hyacinths in a pot a freined gave me and they are in bloom..
ReplyDeleteIs that a little Paddington?
Love him.
Bright sunny clear and cold here.
My daughter is a floral designer....also in sales at a fresh floral distributor...she often spoils me with such extravagant gifts♥️
DeleteNot a Paddington....just a wee Spring bird with rain boots and an umbrella! Cute,eh?
Same weather here....
Enjoy your week ahead....
Very cute..
DeleteOh lucky you ..a floral designer:)
I once had a friend who did that..
Through a friend of hers who owned a florist shop we did our first daughter's marriage flowers.So much fun it was.
Lucky lady.I adore flowers.
when my oldest daughter got married...we did the tables with my Peonies and Lilacs from my garden...
DeleteSo much fun working with flowers♥️
What a lovely and thoughtful thing to do! I didn't know she was a floral designer!!
ReplyDeleteXO Kris
Yes...she is!!!
DeleteMore now in the sales end of it...but still with Flowers...
She often surprises me with bunches of flowers...love that!!
Look at those beautiful spring flowers. I left you a blogger award, Linda. It's on Thursday's post. If you don't have time to deal with it, consider it an honorary award:)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra...
Deletethanks so much for the reward...
Just being mentioned...on your blog...is reward enough for me!
Enjoy your weekend...
ooh, such beauty! Our daffodils and hyacinths are also blooming in the garden. Tulips will probably too in a few weeks
ReplyDeleteHi Dez.....
DeleteI remember Tulips are your favorites!
Nothing growing here yet....snow still melting!
Have a great week.....
Your flowers are gorgeous - like Spring in a basket! Can't wait to see some nice tulips and daffodils :) x
ReplyDeletePerhaps when you visit, there will be beautiful Spring blooms for you!
DeleteEnjoy your week....
