In the Green House-In The Garden

It's a super rainy day.  I think I need a boat.  Since I can't play in the dirt today seems like a fine time to share a few pics. 


I have never started seeds before in pots. As you can see I 
definitely did  not scatter them too well.  I am going for 
mass plantings of Coleus.  They are supposed to be super simple 
to grow. 
I have bought bedding plants in the past.  We'll see how my first seedlings fair. 

Not sure if this planting of broccoli will survive.  It's too rainy to transplant.  

This pot is sprouting. 
Tomatos
On Saturday only 1 sprout.  I sent the pic to my son in Missouri.  He swears they are not tomato's.  Clearly the seed packet claims to be.  We'll see!

Marigolds to plant next to my tomatoes.  I have too more posts started.  

Sweet Peas ready to transplant.  I hope they survive till it dries out.  I've never planted Sweet Peas before.  I took this pic. on Sunday.

And then today look what I found in my pot.  Peter Rabbit
must have heard I was planning a garden for him!

And a few bulbs sprouting in the garden . . . 

Yes there are still a few rocks!  I think they sprout with the bulbs.

A crocus sprouting and the Chrysanthemums are back.
I did not know until yesterday that you should dead head your Pansy's they are looking sad.  

I was weeding on Monday and caught the Crocus just opening up.

Today my little garden is under water.  I hope the potatoes and onions survive the flood!  


So that is how my garden is growing.
Are you growing anything yet?

A Party For A Few Friends

Image result for happy valentines day

We had a fun party.  Wish you could have been there!
It was rather impromptu!

We didn't get to have a party with our friends before they left for their vacation.  They decided to stop in before they went to the 
coast to embark on their cruise.

So I rushed around and pulled some decorations together.
Planned a dessert menu. 
Got out a few decorations
Set the table.
Then took a deep breath.

I hung a special quilt with hearts and got the table ready.
Because it was a cloudy day and our room is dark 
I chose White for the table.
Then I threw some decorations outside to Welcome our guests

Next on the agenda was a Cocoa bar




My grandson got busy making cinnamon toast



    Tongs are fascinating tools . . . 

Just in time there was a knock on the door!
And
What?
There's that pesky Bear again trying to be a Moose!
And this time he wore a mustache to fool us!
But everyone reminded us he sneaks everyone on board the ship.
So of course we Welcomed him!
Silly  Bear
Everyone waited patiently for Cinnamon Toast
The Cowboy brought everyone Cracker Jacks



And then we had an idea!

Goofy face

Everyone had a grand time eating Cracker Jacks, Chocolate Twinkies and Cinnamon Toast

And then way too soon 
Ricardo 
(he finally told us his name)
Reminded everyone it was time to go.  The ship is waiting!
Then he said "We will be back in time for Thanksgiving!"
"I will bring the Turkey"
Bon Voyage
Happy Valentines Day

Be My Valentine

Good Morning and Happy Early Valentines Day.  
Today I am sharing a few favorite photo's from the archives. 
My Valentines Mantle:
I think my favorite part is the hand prints.  
I kept it for a few years till it withered.  
Maybe we'll make another one at the party tomorrow.
This year the mantle was simple
The Cowboy was the waiter.  

I was the Chef de Jour and photographer.


Perfect dessert
Today we are doing a things a little different. 
Come by tomorrow!

My Sunny Kitchen Window

Most days I wake up to a kitchen filled with beautiful sunshine.

Some days it's not as bright and sunny
But I love my window!
My orchid loves the window too!
I am so happy it is blooming again.
Even on days when it isn't as sunny kitchen is bright and cheerful.
I love my kitchen window!
It's not fancy.  Or actually very pretty. 
But it is cheerful.
My days start with warm sunshine and makes me smile.
I hope you have a warm and cheerful day!
