The garden is … Alive

by Tricia

I had a busy day on Monday. I had to go to a doctors appointment and then after that my husband and I ended up going shopping for some much needed supplies.

I had hoped to take a good tour of my garden but it was late in the day when we returned home so I didn’t take as good a look around as I’d hoped too.

I can tell you that my Siberian iris’ are beginning to sprout leaves in my front boulevard flower bed. So are several tulips, Sedum, and the chives in the back garden. I’ve also noticed that my Blue Fescue grass in my front flower bed is greening up in the center – already! It’s so early for that to be coming back to live.

Yellow and purple crocus’ are blooming their heads off on my front and back lawns.

Overall it seems that many of my plants are waking up.

Unfortunately it’s supposed to rain all day here in Toronto. If it clears a bit perhaps I’ll go out into the back yard garden and begin to tidy up the beds. I’m sure that there are many plants poking through the soil that I just haven’t noticed yet because dead leaves and other autumn related debris are covering them.

What’s blooming or growing in your garden?

Lovely Flowers and gift baskets for Easter

by Tricia

It looks like Easter weekend has arrived. Did you remember to send flowers to your mother or perhaps to another relative that you can’t be with this weekend?

If you are thinking of sending flowers to someone you love take a look at the fine selection of flowers at ProFlowers. They have some absolutely gorgeous Easter bouquets and gift baskets. You can pick and choose between a large number of Easter flowers such as tulips, iris’, lilies (Calla lilies, Easter lilies, and traditional lilies), orchids, roses and many other lovely flowers. They also have some wonderful Easter baskets filled with goodies.

When you make an order with Proflowers your flower delivery will be made up of flowers fresh from the fields. They guarantee that your flowers will last for 7 days or you’ll get your money back.

If someone were to send me flowers at this time of year I’d love to get a bouquet of tulips. My own tulips aren’t up yet, and for some reason I rarely cut my own flowers, yet I love having flowers indoors almost as much as I enjoy seeing them in my garden. Yes, a bouquet of tulips would be nice.

If someone where to send you flowers for Easter or perhaps Mothers Day what kind of flowers would you like to receive?

Don’t forget to send some flowers to your mother!

Wow, even our pets are getting email, and spam these days!

Snowball here couldn’t resist the lure of the computer and as usual went to check his email after dinner. He’s got a free e-mail account at catmail.com. His user name is his name – snowball, so if you’d like to send him an e-mail just send it to snowball@catmail.com. Please don’t send any sexy kitty pics. He’ll only become even more addicted to the computer if you do!
