lily from a bouquet on my desk
Today included a cloudless blue sky, bright sunshine and a high temperature of 62F.
I cracked the kitchen window just a little, opened the blinds and heard birds singing!
A couple more days of this weather and this winter-loving girl is going to get spring fever!
I have to admit that it put a little spring in my step!
What kind of weather did you have today?
♥
Got my window cracked too! It's gorgeous with lots of melting. :)
ReplyDeletewe had snow just yesterday morning....I keep thinking we'll get more and this is just a tease! ha.
DeleteBeautiful Betsy! I think the spring is near to all of you Betsy ...anyway I saw in stores a ñpt of chocolate eggs and bunny eggs, so maybe Easter bunny is close (lol)

DeleteNo, better not tell Pat. Poor bunny! What a story! lol.

Deleteyes..that picture WAS terrible...but I couldn't help laughing either. Silly Pat. How does he think of these things?
DeleteHe never stop Betsy you know hia mind only I think....sometimes...he really work ????(lol)
Deletehe's a pro at lurking on the blogs while working. haha. Plus, he's not a busy wife/mom like you and me...and he can write with all that imagination whenever he pleases. lol.
Deleteand he is so young (sigh!) anyway when I was a secretary (and still dont have the twins) I read a lot at my office Ha!
Deleteyes...and here he is! Told you he lurked. lol. Oh, and has to work late tonight..with Flappy...what a fright.
DeleteI think Flappy is terrible...
Deleteor Pat is terrible??? I dont know! ha!

DeleteLOL a whole conversation on Flappy and the Easter Bunny
DeleteThe things Pat spurs are so funny

Deleteno matter how we try and refrain!
Awwww what a beautiful pic!! Yay for spring! Today was very cold, very windy but ended with some lovely sun and now there's a big full moon and clear skies!
ReplyDeleteTake care
x
Ooooh....I'm glad you mentioned the moon! I'll have to look at it tonight since we have no clouds...should be beautiful!
Deleteah it was blue skies...a bit of a chill wind on occassion but def sunny...a little deceptive as i had to keep a sweatshirt on for the wind...
ReplyDeleteyes, it was a little deceptive here, too! I had to close the kitchen window after a while. But the sun was wonderful!
DeleteNice and cold here
ReplyDeleteNo blue skies I fear
Kind of murky
Now dark as I sit at work and umm lurky
With stupid Flappy here
I will steal your word oh dear..haha
First I thought those were bugs coming from the flower
hahaha almost made me want to go take a shower..hahaha
Cold and murky
Deleteas you lurky. lol.
Don't remember flower anatomy
but they look like pollen holders to me.
ha. Stamen? I forget.
Anyway, no bugs to make you vent.
Oh, and Flappy is there
take good notes and be aware
of all the funny things she does
that makes your patience go a-buzz. :)
LOL I have yet to see her
DeleteSo she has yet to ruffle my fur
I just unlocked the door for her to get in
And ran back to my work bin
She has four whole people there
Learning all about facial care
Whoopdi friggin doo
She should leave now so I don't have to view..haha
I wondered what kind of class she taught
Deletedoes she have nice skin to make you want to buy what she bought?
LOL more like one of those clown faces full of makeup galore
DeleteThat would be good in the circus and not my work shore
Oh dear
DeleteIt's worse than I feared!
ha.
Now I got more of them tonight
DeleteBut these ones aren't as bad as Flappy's on my ears and sight
Can.Not.Wait. for flowers in the flowerbeds! The scents, the feeling of the petals on my skin...love flowers! Hubby is taking me to the Philly flower show on Friday :) We had lots of sunshine and blue skies today too. Thursday is to be in the high 60's! Bring it on! Makes it difficult though to stay indoors to get the Spring cleaning done!
ReplyDeleteOh, the flower show will be fun!
DeleteI do love to open the windows and clean. I am afraid to get too excited though. It still seems very early! I did love the sunshine today, though!
beautiful lily! Happy spring thoughts to you!
ReplyDeleteit is a cheery lily, isn't it? :)
DeleteLovely photograph! I've got spring fever; we've had a few days in the 70s. I even had thoughts of taking the plastic cover off my deck umbrella but know that, if I do that, a storm will come for sure.
ReplyDeletehaha...I feel the same. Pull out the flip flops and a blizzard will come! haha.
DeleteWe had the same and it was glorious!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure was! I was afraid to see what the forecast is for the rest of the week! ha.
DeleteBetsy I havent computer all this time (the kids) only wanna say you Esperanza love this Lily and the other come the house with a lily pink!
ReplyDeleteOh a pink one would be beautiful! :) We don't have anything blooming yet, of course, and my bouquet came from the grocery store. There are some pink daisies in it, though!
DeleteThat's a beautiful photo of the lily, but the moon shot on your sidebar is pretty impressive too, doll.
ReplyDeletethanks, Silver. The moon was beautiful tonight!
Deletei actually just left wisconsin for Florida...there was a 50 degree difference in temp between the two places! So glad it is warming up for you...for one moment I thought these flowers were in your yard! LOL! enjoy the warmth!
ReplyDeleteoh how fun....enjoy florida! No lilies in the yard yet...not even a tulip. haha.
DeleteToday we had your yesterday's weather, and tomorrow we will have the 60º temperatures your had today. :)
ReplyDeleteyep...our weather blow right to you! Be prepared to crack your window in the kitchen just an inch tomorrow and get a little spring fever! :)
DeleteI have already thought about doing just that. I am ready to call it spring.
Deleteit was still a bit chilly, but the sun was wonderful. It had a new look to it...not like a winter sun, but bright and slanting into the house this morning. Lovely. And I got so much done around the house. Love those kind of days!
DeleteSpring weather? We have yet to have winter weather here! Although there was something a lot more "cheerful" about today. Maybe the sun shone just a tad bit brighter.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your spring weather :)
I know! Us, too! I actually still want a good snow...you know...several feet deep! haha. But I only whisper that since someone will kick me! lol. The sun was different today...so nice and bright!
DeleteI'd line up to kick you for wanting that
DeleteSo would the cat..haha
well, I meant someone near,...
Deletenot you, never fear.
For if I wished for snow on my lawn
you don't have to worry, just yawn!
Our day was similar to yours... a little windy, though. Sister and I went for a bike ride. Our dogwoods are starting the bloom and the red bud is gorgeous right now.
ReplyDeleteoh, our trees won't bloom for another 6 weeks or so. I think our dogwood blooms around Mother's Day even! Ah, to be in the south! ha.
DeleteMy son and I were at the park admiring the moon about the time you took your picture.
ReplyDeleteMy wife ordered the dual-release melatonin from Swanson. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tip!
Wasn't the moon beautiful? :)
DeleteI do hope that melatonin works for Kai. Your whole family will benefit!
It was mostly cloudy & windy & a bit gloomy here.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice yesterday(Monday)...Sunday was the most springlike day...upper 50's.
Is you lily yellow? I love the smell they have.
I bought myself a lavender colored hyacinth the other day(since none will be coming up for months). It smells "yummy" and is the largest I have seen.
Nancy
oh, I bet that hyacinth is gorgeous. I used to have those in my garden years ago!
DeleteOh, Betsy. It was sunny and warm. I wore shorts. The wind was wicked though... not a big fan of that. But, I have full blown spring fever! ;) blessings ~ Tanna
ReplyDeleteshorts???? no fair!
DeleteI had 60 degrees and sunshine...,but the wind was freezing!!! But I sure did love the sunshine....spring...come soon!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
SUeAnn
that's about what we had...but it still had the feeling of spring to it!
DeleteWe were a little cold yesterday. This morning felt like a lovely spring day. Don't forget to spring the clocks ahead this weekend
ReplyDeleteI know...we loose an hour!
DeleteLove the lily and the change in your weather. New things are coming!
ReplyDeleteyes, they are! have to admit, it's beautiful!
DeleteBetsy!! you dont believe that I coming here to say I take a picture of the pink Lily that bring Esperanza and see you comment is for you betsy!:)
ReplyDeletehahaha...oh, that is funny! We did it at the same time!
DeleteGorgeous. There has been a spring in my step over that weather lately. Today is cloudy, windy, and we are getting ready for some spring showers, but you know what those bring? :)
ReplyDeletea spring in your step? Yes, and you are probably feeling the need for 'nesting' with that little one on the way! Fun times!
DeleteIs that your work space at the bottom of the blog? I tend not to scroll that far so hadn't noticed it before. It is beautiful! So is your close up lily shot today.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's my little desk area in the kitchen! It's my favorite spot in the house, really..and those windows are great for bird watching. ha.
DeleteBetsy your moon in the sidebar look exactly how I saw last night I was there hunging som clothes and I saw the moon and remember your pics, but I think is not like the Betsy site (lol) and now I see is exactly that you pic ha,
ReplyDeleteIt has been beautiful this week! Glad you saw it. Fun to think we live so far apart but enjoy the same moon! :)
Deletesunny and blue skies, shirt sleeves in the sun and a pullover for the shade. winter weather in so cal ain't something to complain about:) i don't hear birds where i am, however. i plan to head down to the beach and hopefully hear some chattering there.
ReplyDeletenow that is my favorite kind of weather!
Deleteseagulls at the beach?....hope you don't take that for granted! That's my very favorite, only every few years, vacation kind of thing. :)
