It does look a sensational display and can see why it takes you into quilt mode Mary.<br /><br />The flowers in the Queen Victoria memorial gardens outside the palace are not for the wedding visitors, they are always there. Just happens the unseasonal hot weather brought the tulips on too soon. I see on tv today it is just the yellow wall flowers left.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799594980600477320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-77726607831092400372011-04-26T09:42:12.023-07:002011-04-26T09:42:12.023-07:00Lots of pretties.

There's one we like going to in Niagara Falls when we're there but they still hadn't opened yet either. <br /><br />Congratulations on all the giveaways you've won, woohoo:-) It's so much fun receiving such goodies in the mail instead of the usual bills! I'm still waiting for a couple more prizes that I had won in the OWOH, the gals told me to be patient because they were still working on it! lol <br /><br />Your orchids are so beautiful and what a treat it must have been to come home to find them all in bloom like that. At the Floral Showhouse in NF, their orchids were all in bloom and I couldn't get over how wonderful their scent was.<br /><br />I'm sooooo envious of your garden, look at all those flowers blooming and GREEN grass and trees! lol Still no buds on the trees over here and I think my tulips and daffodils are scared of showing their faces, especially with the winter storm we had yesterday. Today it's sunny and 45F so it's melting...let's hope that's the last of the snow!! <br /><br />I've always wondered that too, how come the house gets so dusty when no one is home...one of life's mysteries! hehe Take care my friend!! xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-71746310929573084732011-04-21T12:36:33.955-07:002011-04-21T12:36:33.955-07:00Love all your photos from the Farmers market, wish...Love all your photos from the Farmers market, wish I could smell that lilac!

It will be a while yet as it is still so cold. Hail, sleet and snow in the north today!<br /><br />That farmers market looks so good. Can't wait for ours to open in a few months. I can just smell the lilacs just from looking at the pictures of them. Mine are budded but this cold will slow them down a lot.<br /><br />Lots of great surprises when you got home!! Isn't that fun?! I had a fun surprise from you today!!!!!! I just love the puzzle piece, it is just so adorable!! Thank you so much!! I love the little flowers you put on the side, as always you do lovely work!<br /><br />I took Miss T's quilt to the quilter yesterday and now am working on the Christmas one with the trees in each block. I think it's going to be cute and has lots of stitching around the trees which I love to do and is an easy pattern. Everything is cut out and the trees are on the blocks so tonight I will start the stitching around them.<br /><br />I didn't know you did tatting. Is that what's done with a little, oh now I can't think what it's called! A mind is a terrible thing to lose!!!<br /><br />Well I just gave Dad a haircut. They are going to go tomorrow to visit their neighbors that live beside them in Florida, they live about 45 minutes from here. I hope the weather has cleared up.<br /><br />R is over visiting his Dad. Tomorrow he and J are going to Manchester to visit a couple of the agencies and then a Chamber of Commerce dinner. They won't be home until late and that's with flying, thank goodness they don't have to drive.<br /><br />We are having about 20 in for Easter dinner. It's going to be really casual this year for a change and everyone will go home from church and change into their jeans etc.. Everyone is bringing something and I will bake a ham and a turkey and of course make some yeast rolls. They would fire me if I didn't make any!<br /><br />Again thank you for the sweet puzzle piece, you are so creative!! xoxoxoxMidlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-38554908227132051502011-04-20T08:47:13.737-07:002011-04-20T08:47:13.737-07:00Oh my, Mary!

I laugh at my kids friends when they don't know what a star fruit, papaya, and kiwi are. But I felt a bit naive when I saw some of your pics. I never knew that beets were any color other than red. And I love beets. It seems the postman has been good to you lately.

Beautiful! <br />Your garden is way ahead of mine at the moment. Rose bushes are growing but we are a couple of months from flowers, I think. However, the weather has been so warm you can practically see things growing. The best have been some seeds I planted in trays - they were seedlings within 3 days and are getting bigger every day. I can't wait to see what they are. I forgot to label the tray. Sigh. Oh well, gardening surpirses are good.Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141761866483224572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-7187877999079456362011-04-17T11:18:07.929-07:002011-04-17T11:18:07.929-07:00I feel like I was on the trip with you.I feel like I was on the trip with you.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097054119585201394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-67220445303358918172011-04-17T04:45:29.412-07:002011-04-17T04:45:29.412-07:00What a great farmers market.
