A joyful post. Yes Spring is on its way. I am always browsing through that book.
ReplyDeleteA very cheerful post. I love Spring.
ReplyDeleteYou have changed time this weekend we are going to do it last weekend of March. But at my place Spring is around us wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWell I love daylight saving time, for us at the end of the month the clock turns back.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering have you ever grown a Hyacinth in a vase with water? They do smell lovely and spring must be near for you.
I've never grown a hyacinth in water. Does the bulb have to be chilled first? This one was planted in a too shallow pot and can't hold its head up on its own. Hence the chopstick!
DeleteThat hyacinth is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheery post! And it made me smile because I did something similar with books at a thrift shop. Mine book for dreaming was travel book for Luxembourg. My son-in-law gave me a Minnesota book. long time ago and I have used it for staying close to home. It's called Weird Minnesota. It's a travel guide to Minnesota's best kept secrets. Love your hyacinth! I don't get seed catalogs because I live in a townhouse, but GN and I are off to the garden store today for seeds to start indoors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect combination - travel books and fresh flowers! I can almost smell the hyacinth from here :) Enjoy the commencement of Spring and your new reads...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Hyacinth. I never thought of growing one inside!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to feel the change in the season, isn't it? I do hope you won't have to wait long for the Elizabeth Gilbert book. I'm enjoying it a lot.
ReplyDeleteA little dreaming doesn't hurt. Hope Spring will be with you soon according to your potted Hyacinth it wont be long.
ReplyDeleteLooking like spring at your house! Let me know what great places I should go to in Minnesota! :)
