. . . no 'springing forward' on the time zone front
(we don't do that here in Arizona... no 'springing forward' & 'falling back'...while the rest of the country changes time two times each year... we stay the same... all year 'round. (Although when I woke up at about 2:30 a.m. this morning & couldn't get back to sleep. . . I wouldn't have minded getting up the hour earlier!)
. . . but with the snow & rain showers we've had this past month (with days up in the 70's in the midst of those!) - you can tell that spring is itching to get started around here!
While at our local 'Trader Joe's' a couple of days ago, I couldn't resist the little bunches of daffodils they had. None of the buds were open, but after trimming the stems, & putting them in water, by the next morning they were blooming away!
Then my Dad surprised me with a little birthday lunch last week with some of my sweet quilting friends (thank you sweet my ladies!), & in the middle of the table in the cafe was a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses (with stunning orange edges on the petals)!
They are now gracing the breakfast table where they seem to open up a little more every day, & where we can both see them the most.
Today, after working so very hard at it, the sun is actually shining away,
& it is forecasted for us to possibly reach 90 this week! I think our flowers & plants & grass & birdies will be giddy! I know I will!
Hope you have a wonderful week!

A belated Happy Birthday Bren! What a special lunch planned by your Dad. Those roses are just so pretty. Enjoy the warm weather - we're back in the MN snow after a month of FL sun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! How sweet of your dad and the roses are gorgeous. I wish we would leave the time alone here like Arizona does, especially now that they know it wreaks havoc with our system for awhile.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Brenda.... What a nice surprise your Dad planned for you. What a guy! Love the daffys... We won't see any around here for awhile.
ReplyDeletea belated happy birthday! How sweet of your dad to set up a special lunch! I was thinking of you this weekend as I lost an hour of sleep - it's probably time the entire country stopped this time change thing - it really doesn't make sense anymore.
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns and best wishes, belated but sincere. Love the roses and daffodils. Lucky you with the warmth and sunshine. We are having a very liquid sunless day today in the PNW, but the good news is we are flying your direction on Tuesday to visit our daughter.
