Wordy Wednesday

We're still here and plugging along, knock on wood! :-)

 

 

 

A couple of homes in the larger area have Japanese cherry trees, and I snapped a few pics earlier this month. I think they're in full bloom now, soon to be done.

I'm mired in work stuff, so don't have a lot to write about. I do have pics to post, though, from weekend walking to one grocery store or another.

 

Loblaws' garden centre, normally filled by now, has been slim pickings the past two times I've been. I've managed to pick up a few hanging baskets (not for hanging) and a few other annuals too. They've all been potted now, though we still have had frost warnings a few times.

 

I was so thrilled to catch the finch in the tree behind our fence. This was the best of the quick snaps I was able to get.

 

It's been unseasonably cold and the tulips are slow this year.

 

I think this is a Japanese quince.

 

It's lovely to see the trees coming into bloom!

 

 

I managed to catch a rainbow on the weekend, through the front bedroom window.

 

A couple of recent sunset pics.

 

My bleeding heart is in full bloom now. It's amazing to watch it when it first starts to grow, you'd swear you can actually see it getting bigger by the hour.

 

Derry, snuggled up under the blankets this morning. I didn't cover him up, this is how I found him.

 

So that's life here at the moment. When I feel work-cranky (I'm coming into my busy time of year, with all my "favourite" annual projects) or pandemic exhausted and crazy, I just look at the flowers and remember how lovely life really can be when you stop and take a minute, or two, to appreciate the beauty of Nature.

Take care, everyone, and stay well.

Peace.
