a nice surprise

 Watering my pot plants today i found that my daffodils had started to flower.


First one in quite a while. I used to grow bulbs many years ago but lost most of them over time from moving house/s. This year my sister & i discussed planting bulbs on Mum's gravesite & i got the urge to try growing bulbs again. It looks like all the bulbs i planted are sprouting. :) Now to wait patiently for the jonquils, freesias & a variety of others to bloom.

The second surprise was from a Zygo i had bought a few months back. One bloom & a couple of others getting ready to open.

Even though spring is still a month away it was nice to see something that reminds me of spring coming to life.

Happy Stitching,

Beautiful Jeanette ... reminding us that spring is not too far away. I picked some daffys today to save them from the wind we are getting. xx

Such pretty winter blooms.

I love daffodils & jonquils - they probably grow better where you are...too hot & humid here.
