Orchids

My friend Uta gave me an orchid for my birthday last year.  Low and behold its almost that time of year again, and my orchid is still alive.  As a matter of fact it has four new blooms with five just waiting to bloom.  I am just delighted that I kept it alive....take a look.

Valentine Day

After years of telling my husband, I do not want cut flowers for anything, birthdays, mother's day, valentine day.
He has finally got it.  This year for Valentine Day he gave me a potted hydrangea.  I absolutely love it.  Of course I had to play with it a bit on the computer.  I will plant it outside sometime next week.

Pot Holders

Started a new thing, pot holders.  A friend of mine has given me crocheted pot holders over the years.  Well, they are great.  You can't beat them.  They keep you hands from burning and they wash up like a dream.  I made one in the seed stitch, and the other in single crochet.  Got the pattern on Ravelry.  Take a look!

Pink is single crochet, white is seed stitch.

Booboo is checking it out, like he does everything!

It's that time of year again.

Strawberries are in the air. Not one of my favorite all time fruits, but a close second.  Boy do I feel sorry for those pickers.  I can just imagine how much my back would hurt after picking strawberries all day.
Thank you pickers!!
