Spring Fever!
Sunny, warm, and beautiful. That was our weather this weekend and I actually got outside for a bit! Strange feeling since I’ve been in the studio for weeks. Another storm is due on Tuesday and we may get some hail! Hail in the middle of April! Don’t know how the weatherman knows this in advance.
I love roses and every year I plant 5 or 6 more rose bushes. It’s finally starting to pay off. My roses are all starting to bloom, so if we get hail on Tuesday I hope it will be gentle.
A quick trip to our local farmer’s market was called for. They have the best bread!
And veggies of course…
And they were selling orchids! Beautiful orchids!
I may be able to grow roses, but every time I try with orchids, they never bloom again. Any orchid advice out there? If you think I should give it a try I’ll buy one next week.
My son was supposed to arrive from Germany today and of course his flight was cancelled. I’m wondering how the airlines will ever catch up when they do start flying. Mother Nature is amazing and definitely in control!
Have a great day everyone!
Hugs,
Anne

Your lavender and roses are just beautiful! Hope the hail doesn’t damage them too much. As far as the orchids, Phalaenopsis orchid pretty much grows in about the same way as african violets. An eastern exposure, let dry between waterings and feed (I feed lightly at each watering). Hope that information helps and I also hope your son gets home safely.

Your photos (roses especially) are spectacular Anne.
Hope your son is safe and not stuck too much longer.

Good Morning Anne!
Yeah, I am the 1st person to comment :0)
Looks like you had a great weekend. We also took advantage of the beautiful weather, which is going to turn “grey” later on today.
BTW-I love all of the beautiful pink flowers! What an inspiring way to surround yourself with beauty.
Enjoy the time with your son (when he gets here),
