Nature's Valentine

Hope you have a lovely day today!

The Rusty Hat Lady

While up in Connecticut last year hubby and I went around to a couple of antique shops.  I found this lovely lady while looking around, and no, I didn't buy it, and yes, I am still kicking myself for not buying it!

Her hat looks like an old rusted dish pan, maybe a funnel for the head, and such a lovely stand with perhaps a leaf design  on her skirt. So cute! Well, if we make it back up there this year I am going back to that shop to see if she is waiting for me.

She looks like she could have hopped into this car and gone for a ride! Next time I see something that cute I'm buying it!

Winter springtime

Ok, we are still officially in winter, but outside it is saying springtime.

The early daffodils are up

What about the little grape hyacinth?  They are peeking out real early.

I planted bulbs all through here last fall so when I walk or go to feed the chickens I have some sunshine in the woods.

The chickens don't mind that it is warm.  They have been laying like crazy!  Right now I have 5 dozen eggs in the fridge yet that won't last long as soon as the first cold spell comes back they will quit laying.

I can't believe these showed up here.  When did I plant them?

These are back from the year before.  I purchased more yet they are not blooming , and these should not be blooming either.

Different colored daffodils usually bloom much later, but here they are.....

These were blooming in January!  Now we have had warm, rainy days, cold foggy ones, temps in the high 60's to low 70, and then over in Europe my relatives have been told they are better off staying indoors! All that snow over there is amazing, but I can remember when I was a child a long, long time ago the snow would get pretty deep.  Now this weekend we are suppose to get colder daytime temps, and freezing at night.  Oh my poor blueberries!  I'll be busy covering things up.  So how is the weather in your neck of the woods?  By the way my header picture will be gone next time and replaced with a more "warmer" one!
