Come On In....There's Blooms In Here!


Thought I would share a few of my Indoor blooms with you today...
This Violet had bloomed back in March...
And surprised me last week with a few more...
She must have known that her friends outside..
Were shivering in the cold temps...
And wanted to brighten my day...



Next up is my faithful waxy pink begonia...
This is her third winter indoors...
She really needs a pat on the back for her profuse flowering...
As...
I think I have neglected her...
She needs to be cut back, as she is kinda leggy...
Good for us...but not for a plant♥️
I think that she should already be outside..
But..I am afraid...it is too chilly yet...
Perhaps next week...





This is my Pink Geranium...
I showed you her bud last week...
She is beaming this week...
Can I put her out yet???
Has anyone bought annuals yet??



This is the kookiest thing...
I bought a turnip for Easter...and forgot to cook it!
It was in the cupboard...and much to my surprise...it sprouted!
I have never seen anything like this before!!
I don't know what to do with it???
Plant it?
Cut the top off and plant it??
Anyone???
But I do love the purple stems on the leaves....









This wee fella has been here all week...
Feeding his face...
Must have his eye on a cute chick...
Getting his strength up! hahaha!
They really are the sweetest little birds...
Could I ever put too many pics up?






Hope you all had a great day...
Started out Sunny....but now it is cloudy...
Rain expected overnight...
Was out today...chilly with the East wind...
Me and the boyfriend are punky...
Coughing...blowing...sneezing...YUCK!!!

Think we'll curl up and watch the tube...
I will crochet...of course!
Just need to make 2 legs for my Mouse...
Everything else completed...
Ready to assemble...

             Enjoy your evening...
                    Cheers!  :o)

My Indoor Garden Is Bloomin' Lovely........


You may remember ...

A few weeks back...

I mentioned to you...

That my Gerbera...

Had put out a fresh bright bloom...

Well......

Here she is..

In all her glory...

How fabulous!!!!

On this...

Another pretty...

Darn...

Dull...

Gloomy day....



I am also taking this opportunity...

To showcase a few...

Of my "Outdoor" friends...

Who...

Came "Indoors" for the winter....

Like this sweet little waxy Pink Begonia....♥♥♥

This is her 2nd year coming in...and I think...well.... I KNOW...

She loves it!!!

Just look at her!!!
  


 Next.....



 My Crown of Thorns....a very old plant...I think at least 7 years..

 She was looking pretty sad last Spring...soooo..out she went!

 She spent the Summer in the backyard....

And......I dare say.....she "blooming" loved it!!!
.







This particular Geranium...

Bright hot pink...

Sits in the Living Room window...

Gets the morning sun...

She is a happy camper







The paler Pink one below...

Resides on a shelf in the kitchen...

She enjoys the afternoon sun...

I hope they keep blooming for a few more weeks....

Then they can settle in for a long winters nap..... 

Much like....all of us♥




Hope these lovely gals helped to brighten things up for you....

                                   **********
 
 Hope  you all had a great day....

We took a drive to the lonely cottage....

Very warm...16*c....when we left....12*c when we got there!

With a very strong south wind....it felt even chillier....brrrrrr

Had Chinese for lunch...and visited all of our thrifty haunts...

Pretty slim pickens out there, I'll tell 'ya!
