SURPRISE!

Stella has proven over and over to be so therapeutic for me... I never grow tired of her, the opposite appears to be true, I gain strength from her... Yesterday she gave me my first bloom of the season... I have started another Album in Picasa, this year I hope to get all my flowers up, unlike last year I want to put them up in the order they come into bloom... I hope this helps me keep better track/records of them... I have also decided that with each new bloom and some growth I will be sending them off to CVS to have a 4 X 6 photo made and keep them in a binder... I just need to keep track of things... Unlike webshots I will be using this album just for my records, I am thinking about getting a membership and letting my webshots expire as the photos appear to be so much clearer there, and you can pull up the whole album at one time... I will give this a lot of thought... As for today two of my shots will appear on Picasa, and all four new ones will still appear on webshots...

My first bloom of the season... IRIS-RETICULATA-HARMONY ... Such a beautiful color... This shot was taken yesterday, on the 8th when I left Stella's gate there was nothing in bloom...
Take a look at this Crown Imperial bulb... Now look at it five days ago, how fast does this thing grow?

I have good news to report, both my pink and white Bleedings hearts have made it through our hard winter... I will take a snap-shot when they are just a little bigger... Still waiting for signs of life on my ferns... I hope I didn't lose them...

Steve is home today, he is going to town... he will drop me off at Linda's, I will spend a few hours there... Tonight I will color eggs...Hope you all have a wonderful day...

Remember... To get respect, one must give respect...

Until next time
Nothing but love Lina
