Not one bulb sprouted, and when I dug around expecting to find rotted residue, there was nothing there at all. Chipmunks, I think.

They'd soon explain that riding in the car is all about going somewhere worth being ;)<br /><br />Such pretty flowers. I also visited the florist for some spring cheer at the end of last week, but I have blue anemones and white freesias and I'm loving the Delft like mix of colours.

Baby's breath is so much prettier than soap wort LOLOLOL<br />Although most species are similar in appearance, baby’s breath – or soap wort, as it is known in the United Kingdom – boasts a family of over 100 species, all with their own small variations. The predominant symbol for the baby’s breath flower is everlasting love. In continuation of the theme, they are thought to represent happiness and a purity of the heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698801749067092572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-49349811971040935532013-03-03T17:43:06.638-05:002013-03-03T17:43:06.638-05:00What a treat to see such a lovely carnation.

We accidentally drove past her favourite park yesterday (we had been in there earlier) and she was scratching at the car door for us to stop and let her out. We hated having to dissappoint her!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
