3 posts from April 2008

Thats's pretty much my whole life...cats, plants and quilts.  Okay, family and stuff like that is pretty important too!

 

Well after a very cold February and March, we finally have flowers.  Usually we have crocuses and forsythia by mid march the latest, but this year we had crocusses  in the beginning of April and boy was I glad to see them.  Right now my favorite flower is in bloom - 

 

 

Hyacinthes.  I think I love them so much because whenever I first smell them I think of my grandmother smelling them and sighing and saying how beautiful they arey are.

This daffodil is a miniature one.  Its about 4 inches high.  I should have placed an everyday object next to it.  Becuase if an everyday object makes you look small, that's cute!  Next to it is a plumeria, they are nice becuase they bloom in the spring and fall and don't mind the shade too much.

Finally here are two of my friends who appreciate the spring as much as I do -
