Makes me yearn for Spring since it's only 8 degrees outside today (at least early this morning).....<br /><br />Looks like you got some great books to enjoy --at a good price.<br /><br />Love your yarn. That is what I call the Jewel Tones ---plus a couple of beautiful colors.... Can't wait to see what you make with it.<br /><br />Keep enjoying that Florida weather..... I'd love it this time of year.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-51618624506379971772019-01-21T15:51:11.975-05:002019-01-21T15:51:11.975-05:00I think of Florida as the place where plants love ...I think of Florida as the place where plants love to "overgrow" and become a jungle. If you want to have more than a lawn, they are something to deal with!

Flowers just amaze me...one of God's beautiful creations. Your books look so interesting and the colors you've chosen for the yarn are so pretty. I've used the Caron yarn for baby sweaters - it really is soft! It must be quite a job to keep up with the gardening there due to the year-round growing season. Such a good feeling when you get an area tamed, though. I've been clearing blackberry vines - a thankless chore and they like to bite. I am covered in scratches. You be careful out there. Love your St. Francis statue and that needlework - how I love that prayer! Sending you hugs and blessings for your weekend. xo Karen Karen @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-87310197017576548202019-01-16T05:16:16.020-05:002019-01-16T05:16:16.020-05:00Lovely blogpost to read again.

I also have the Mozart rose, but one difference: in your garden it's in full bloom, I have to wait for another 5 months before it starts flowering. We had the Tibouchina in our greenhouse, but after I don't heat the greenhouse anymore, it was the end of the Tibouchina. I see you have always plans and work to do in your garden, like me. I call my garden sometimes a jungle, in your climate the garden gets easily a real jungle but I love it.<br />Blessings and Happy gardening, reading and crocheting.<br />JannekeJanneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-30517275572351256722019-01-14T08:32:37.285-05:002019-01-14T08:32:37.285-05:00HI, FL.

They are such a balm to those of us with nothing blooming in January. I think we have a few confused buttercups in the pasture, but that's it. Daffodil tips are above ground ... but they will probably regret it! Your yard clean up is looking good! I want to be doing that too, but it's just too cold today.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-40573491601244249752019-01-13T12:37:16.200-05:002019-01-13T12:37:16.200-05:00It's always so much fun to see a post from you...It's always so much fun to see a post from you, Rainey!

I made quick work of English Letters by Andrea Lucao. Now on the second Marilynne Robinson book..<br /> I finished typing a composition book full of handwritten poems for a friend; had 2 lunches with 2 friend; made potato soup and shared with a homebound friend I visited. A trip to thrift store this morning was my therapy. I've enjuenj my brief freedom and have filled the time with tasks and pleasure. <br /><br />Your yarn colors are SO pretty!

I also read "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff." That's a good one! It's quite cold here in NJ. This morning I woke up to 19 degrees but the real feel is in the single digits. It has been crazy windy here for days. I have been spending lots of time reading and crocheting too. I am making a blanket for my grandson to be born in June. Did I tell you that I am going to be a grandma!? I am so excited! I am reading a funny book right now titled The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. I am looking forward to seeing your blankets!<br /><br />Happy reading and crocheting!<br />TerryTerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683242897506420191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-50329553800993357022019-01-11T07:53:04.538-05:002019-01-11T07:53:04.538-05:00How I wished it was spring.
