  6. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.
