Since I'm still at home feeling yucky, I decided to "steal" some time to cull my blog list - those blogs I keep on my own blog page and try to follow. “cull: pick out from others; select; gather; collect”. This doesn't mean I have deleted all of the ones I took off my page - I have them saved in another folder on my desktop to review later. Since I'm not doing such a great job of culling my house - I thought I would start small. :-) I can't believe we are having the warmest day in a long time and I'm stuck inside.
It seems appropriate on such a lovely sunny day to post two of my favorite flowers- daffodils and peonies. There aren't any flowers I can think of that don't evoke a deep feeling of appreciation from me but these two are special - right up there with many others that don't last long. Maybe that is it? Nope - can't be that because I love daisies and roses too and they last a good while. Ahhh - Gail just called to check on me because I wasn't at the talent show or the meeting this morning. It does make you feel good to know you are missed doesn't it? Especially for sweet Gail who already has way too much on her plate but that is who she is - a wonderful, caring friend. I also culled my desktop - got rid of the tons of icons by moving them to appropriate folders and files. I'm sure it will not be long before it is cluttered again but for now - it looks good. So I will close with a favorite picture I've used as a letterhead picture on letters.
Yep - the lacy dragonfly. See Roseanne - that is why we love them.

I love peonies and dragonflies!! I hope you are feeling better by now. This cold season has been pretty mean to everyone :(
ReplyDeleteI thought I recognised those daffodils, they are in my kitchen! Aren't they just the most cheerful of flowers. Can't wait for Spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! I'm a ways off from flower weather here but I do enjoy the persistently green succulents growing on my windowsill.
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering my button stash giveaway last week. Though you weren't the winner, your comment really touched me and I'd like to offer you something. Your email wasn't in the blog comment or on here that I can find which is why I'm leaving this awkward comment. lol If you'd like, please email me at lilfishstudios@gmail.com and I'll fill you in.

Thanks for your message. Hey, I am fine with you using my photo, I was quite flattered that you liked it so much. It's not a really personal one anyway. I don't want to get all precious over things but if you did want to use any more of the flower ones a little mention would be nice. I absolutely love daffodils and peonies just like you. Jane x
ReplyDeleteI love the name Jane - don't you? Actually it is my middle name. I hated it when I was a "teenager" to the point that I spelled it Jayne (after Jayne Mansfield - I know - I'm telling just how old I am) on my first Social Security Card. My uncle named me Patricia but my Dad gave me my middle name. Now I LOVE my middle name. My Mom always called me Triciajane.
