I promised some book reviews today but just not feeling it, so maybe tomorrow. Today my poetry group had an online meeting to workshop our poems, so I was be busy with that most of the afternoon. It was an interesting way to work, not much different from face-to-face meetings, so we may have a few more such meetings in the next month.
Meantime, Spring continues its slow advance. I'm happy with slow as it will protect the fruit trees' bloom.
The pear tree is coming into bloom, and so is the elderly peach tree behind it. I really thought we lost the peach last summer, but it is still hanging on.
These daffodils planted themselves in a rough hollow area. I like that about daffodils. Long after we're gone and our house has been swallowed by vines, the daffodils will tell that we were once here.
The grass is greening up. I love this time of year, when the trees are still bare but the grass is a rich green.
Aloe plants in the window would prefer to be outside I'm sure, but it's still too early. Soon, I hope.
The sun is peeking into the kitchen window now as its arc increases.
I got out my daffodils towel to hang by the sink, and my white bunny to add a little Easter to the kitchen.
The cake stand was a two-part purchase. I found the base on ebay for a reasonable price last summer.I intended to re-sell it, but liked it too much so I kept it. This winter I found the dome at a thrift shop. It fit perfectly.
So now, off to read for a while, then maybe we will find a movie to watch. Or maybe it will just be a good evening for reading.

Your cupboards are so beautiful bursting with spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping my dr will do some things over the phone in the next few weeks too. I have a lab app. soon but I do not want to go anywhere near sick people to have it drawn.
Thank you, Jenny. I love color--although when I am in homes with more muted colors, I like that too. You may have to cancel that appointment. I'm with you--a long distance from medical facilities right now is fine with me.
DeleteLike all your bright colors in your kitchen. Mine is fairly minimal monochromatic, til I open the cabinets with my multi colored fiesta ware.
ReplyDeleteYour touch of West Virginia out there in the wild West! My sister has a kitchen that is mostly white, with pale blues and yellows, and I like that too. Minimalist is appealing to me in many ways. But I do like color.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post, like sitting with you over a cup of tea. I am so glad to hear that you are still able to have your poetry meetings, it is amazing what you can do with technology isn't it! My mother has arrhthymia it was diagnosed when she was pregnant with me, she has a permanent irregular rhythm it only becomes a problem when she is stressed. I do hope your medication helps to mitigate the effects for you.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen pictures brought a smile - I think I might pull out the Easter stuff early. I, myself, am desperately trying not to start counting the days of quarantine, it just makes it worse for me. Stay well.
