Blooms, not quite outside yet but inside soo nice to have . I have my Cacti and African Violets some of which were my Mums and are very old but still bloom wonderfully. This little stand I have them on is actually a step ladder Papa made for me a few years ago and it has an inlay of a purple butterfly in the top but I love using it for displaying my plants on .
The story to how I got this new plant is we were invited to our neighbour/friends house Mr & Mrs H for supper with a few other neighbour/friends on Friday and she said just bring ourselves well Papa and I didn't feel right about showing up empty handed and when he was up in town he saw a pink plant and this orange one to and thought hey Country Gal and Mrs H both love plants and we wont show up to the supper empty handed , good one Papa , well I loved mine and Mrs H loved hers so all went well and our supper was delish and the evening was a hit and we all had a nice time .
Sun shining , temps warming up, birdies singing, birds nesting and chasing each other about , blooms in doors and Spring just literately around the corner . I am looking forward to Spring and its blooms outside and getting my hands dirty in my gardens .
Yesterday we did a bit of garden clean up of sticks and twigs from winds we have had over the past week or two that fell from our trees and had a small Chiminea fire and used my special camp fire starter for the first time that Papa got for me a while ago , it was nice to get out and enjoy the fresh air and warmth of sunshine and to only have the odd little patch of snow here and there in the shaded areas with the smell of the fire as always was wonderful . Update on Miggs whilst I am on a roll here lol , She is doing very well , we have been taking longer walks now and going farther and she has been off leash every now and then in the back yard to get her back into the norm a bit more but she still wants to tear off and chase or at least run hard but we have to keep her a bit at bay till her leg is 100% some times she listens and well some times she doesn't but all is going well . Ok that's enough babbling from me lol .
Until next time .

Cacti are about the only plant I can reasonably take care of!
Spring seems elusive. We have clear but cold conditions here today.
Lovely inside blooms. We didn’t have much sun today but temperatures for next week look to be just above zero. Can’t wait to spend more time outside. Good news about Miggs, she has healed really well. Roll on spring weather.
Your indoor plants look lovely, Elaine, and how nice to get a surprise new one! Glad to read that Miggs is doing much better and also that your weather is improving and only wish that ours would do the same...soon!
All your plants are lovely and having their blooms as spring approaches really does get you in the mood to start working outside, doesn't it? But I'm glad Migg's is doing well too, and has that "spring" in her step too!
Take care, and enjoy your week!
Your plants are so pretty. It's so nice that your husband brings you plants. That is very sweet. You sound as excited as I am about spring. I can hardly wait! But, here the weatherman says all this week will be unseasonably cold and there is even a chance of more snow on Tuesday or Wednesday. :( Maybe soon! Hug Miggs for me.
