March 2014

                    Helllooooooooooooo  ~ long time no blogging..... let me try and mend my ways.

  Happy
Here in
well, so far.... this blooming witch hazel is the only sign of spring around here.
My fish pond still has a giant cake of ice in it...
(worry not fish lovers, the fish winter in a big tub in the back hall with a nice jacuzzi bubbler and some broken flower pots to hang out under)
And, yup the weather people are using the "s" word again...
Suggesting that we could have some on Wednesday!
This has been a red letter winter hasn't it?
Sure, if you want to cartwheel, I can wait.
What have I been up to?
 I've been riding my pony....
  and reading my new book.....
and starting some seeds
 
 
and yes, thumbing thru the lastest issue of Country Living
Doing some silly doodles of what I'd look like
 if I was a free spirited little imp with pointy toed shoes! 
The dogs are hanging out...
and before you know it~
will be but a memory ~ and there will be tulips about our ankles!
In the mean time~ I'll enjoy the last of the cold weather and keep fingers crossed for just a little more snow....you know, in case we don't get any next year!
It happens.
 
Best-est Wishes,
 
Mel  :))))

  3. More snow? Wow, I do not envy you. That's not how spring is supposed to be like. But you have been doing some fun stuff lately, so you are forgiven for your absence. :-)

    1. Only time will tell if the snow really falls... If I could find that elusive balance, maybe I could do fun stuff AND blog! You'd think a Libra would have better balance?? ha ha

  6. Here you are at last, I left you a message on mine today :) I can't get over your snow, I must admit to not being jealous after our last 2 winters, they were so cold for us! Love your little sketch, so full of life. Kippy looks so comfy, gazing ou the window, what a life! I haven't grown anything this year, I miss doing that, it's so rewarding, I hope they come on a treat, wallflowers smell gorgeous.

    1. Yup, high winds ~ with snow blowing sideways out there as I type! Snow's not collecting much, just blowing around! Fingers crossed my wallflowers grow up to be beautiful and sweet smelling, I had to search high and low to find the seeds, I've never seen them in stores here, but I had to have some cuz all the cool English girls have them! :))))

  10. March has gone! Hope April has brought you some sunshine and all the seeds are sown and those tulips are coming out. Nearly Easter and looking forward to seeing all the bunnies running around . You are really going to appreciate the spring blossoms after your snowy months.
    Best wishes for a great Spring time.
