Black Tulips

Good morning,

These are called "black tulips," but they are actually a very deep purple.

Several years ago a friend shared these with us.  The had picked them up from the Cincinnati Parks Department who were giving them away.  They had used them as a display and raised the bulbs at the end of the season for different flowers.  We were delighted to have them and are happy that they have continued to bloom year after year.

What is blooming in your garden this week?

Snakie!

 Good morning,

We welcome garter snakes in our garden.  They are not poisonous and eat all kinds of little critters that eat our flowers.

This little one was smart enough to be in the front garden, not in the back where the pups would have surely found it.

Elsa's Sphinx Impersonation

 Elsa:  Look Mom!  I'm a Sphinx!

Me:  Very good, Elsa.  You are doing that very well.

Sir Winston Churchill Daffodils

 Good morning,

We have some Sir Winston Churchill Daffodils in the front yard down on a hilly spot.  I wish I had planted them closer to the house because they smell so wonderful.  Even that black ant can't resist.

I had a hard time getting down the hill to snap these pictures because the grass was a little wet.  The sun was perfect, though, and I didn't want to miss my chance.

While shopping for Spring bulbs, if you ever see a package of Sir Winston Churchill Daffs, buy them and plant them.  You'll enjoy them year after year.

Happy Spring!

Office Dog Wendy

 Good morning,

This image is courtesy of our daughter, Catherine.  She took Wendy to her office, but didn't get much work out of her!

Well, Wendy's job is really for companionship and she's very good at that.

Work in Process - Blooms in a Box

Good morning,

Afghan Blankets have been very popular in the shop during the past month.  Above you see blossoms blooming in preparation for the next Flower Garden Afghan Blanket.  There are many other blankets in the shop available to ship now.

Cloche hats have also been very popular this month so I'm keeping my fingers busy making more of them.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Return of the Lilies

 Good morning,

My lilies survived the winter!

I'm quite happy there was something left beneath the soil since the squirrels thought I had planted them for their amusement last year.
