I must admit I’ve been a bit AWOL from blogging AGAIN due to schoolwork, coursework for my Doctorate, preparations and excitement over the impending arrival of our new grandbaby, and life in general! I’m also finding Facebook to be much quicker and am making almost daily updates there.
Therefore, with that apology made, I’m forging ahead to make-up this lapse, by posting a combo “”30 Days of Winter Beauty Photos”/”Sunday Stroll.”
With the incredible spring-like weather we experienced yesterday, with abundance sun and temps in the 50’s, I just couldn’t resist!
My very-pregnant daughter, Abbie (due any day!) and I strolled to a nearby garden center where they were celebrating an early arrival of spring.
The hyacinths and tulips were magnificent!
While we were there, we picked up a few early birthday presents for Abbie, to help welcome in the colors of spring . . .
Some pretty pansies
Some assorted herbs for the windowsill, until they can be planted outside
Pussywillows: a sure sign of spring!
Here’s Abbie with a bit of her “loot.” She refused to sit down several times throughout our jaunt, but I told her she had to sit for just a bit while I adjusted our goodies in sacks to carry home!
We finished the day with an early birthday celebration (with both families) for Abbie, just in case the little one decides to make his appearance on her actual birthday in a few days!
We enjoyed key lime pie, one of Abbie’s very favorites, whici is a specialty of Ed’s Mom.
Happy Early Birthday, Abbie . . . may all your wishes come true!
What are your wishes from spring? Are you experiencing any early signs of spring yet in your part of the world?
