Pamela thank you!
Sherry, I love spring flowers that have a strong fragrance. Have a great week.

Jodi said...

Wow! That's a long to do list. Hope you have a great week!

Pioneer Woman at Heart said...

Jodi, I know. It's crazy with all this spring cleaning to do right now. I got most of it done. I hope you have a great week too.

I was reading your wishlist on the sidebar - it looks pretty much the same as mine! Hubby gave me a voucher to build a greenhouse for my birthday nine months ago. Hopefully one day! Looks like a busy week - hope you have a lovely Easter.

Pioneer Woman at Heart said...

Jayne, I always have a list going for to-do's and needs. I hope to eventually get them done. I hope you have a lovely Easter too.

How nice to have a beautiful flower blooming! I was hoping for some Easter flowers, but this year, I don't know what's going on with the long winter. I'll settle for Easter basil lol!

My hyacinths have come and gone already but oh how I love their smell! I'm like Sherry; it brings back memories of Easter's when I was young and back in my hometown growing up. Smells can trigger powerful memories.

Rain, until I get a handle on the moles in our area, I cannot replant tulips and I really miss having them. I need to wait for my elderberry trees to grow, trim a few branches and stuff them into the mole tunnels (I read it will get rid of them). This spring I only saw one mole tunnel so I hope by sticking bits of chewing gum in them last year got rid of most of them.

Sam I Am, every time my lilac blooms, I bring some inside. It reminds me of my one Grandmother. She always brought us some for the house.
