Welcome friends...thanks for coming by. We're seeking beauty in all of creation... in our faith and our families; our art and our music; our crafts and kitchens, and even in our own backyard. We'll share a poem or a recipe, a picture or a memory; maybe a dream of how we wish our life could be. And though we acknowledge that the world can be harsh, we're keeping it pleasant in our little corner; endeavoring to keep the words from the Book of all Books: ...Whatsoever things are lovely; think on these things.

I so enjoy hearing from you...so leave me a comment; it'll make my day!

Forgive me, sweet primrose!

 
I used to turn my nose up at primroses. I thought they were rather silly little flowers. Frilly, superficial little posies, that's what I called them. I hated their foliage and detested weeding around them. That's what I used to say.

But I've had a change of heart. Sweet, hardy little blossom! You risk coming out to visit with me before the late winter frosts are over. You are stubbornly cheerful and ever-so-optimistic. Please forgive my snobbishness and stay on my porch for a while this spring!

they are happy little guys aren't they! I replant mine and then they bloom all year...a nice surprise.

Yes Joanne- they are happy! I'm going to try and keep mine going all summer too!

Bookie-we have daffodils, crocus, grape hyacinth, cherry blossoms, and primrose blooming. And forsythia. And some things I can't name. Spring has sprung here in the Pacific N.W.!

Such cheery faces and sublime colours. Thank you. I will plant some toward the end of winter here, and know that they will make me smile early next spring.

Elephants Child, From what I've read it sounds as,though you are planting a veritable Garden of Eden!
Ellen, will they survive even in baskets?
