Happy new week everyone and Happy St Patrick's Day if you celebrate.
We are back to warm weather today and tomorrow before the next big storm comes through with lower temperatures. We are safe here at the lake but many areas in Missouri were hit hard with tornadoes and a foot deep of hail-wow that's a lot. A couple cities were hit with major damages not all that far from us so am very thankful. This same storm is on it's way to the east coast now so hoping all of you will be safe.
This is the first year in over 40 years maybe close to 50 years when I think about it-that I didn't pick up a corn beef and cabbage to boil up. We love the meal and I always buy rye bread for my husband to make reuben sandwiches the next day. When I went food shopping a couple weeks ago the stores had very small packages with a high price tags so I passed on it. I need to go food shopping this week so will see what is available.
I have been buying a few flower seeds-will use them to fill up my big tubs mostly. Today I was looking at the perennial bluebells I found these on Ebay -- English bluebell seeds-hyacinthoides non scripta native englishe bluebell Reading through the listings these are the more pure form of seed others are crossed with another seed. One of those seeds you need to chill them first or they won't germinate. Here are the photos from his site- These need mostly sun and will fill an area so I like that-and Larry prefers I plant mostly perennials.
Do you have these or have you grown them?? They look beautiful
I am making progress on my second slow stitch bag. I am almost finished with the last large piece on the one side of the bag and then just the handles to stitch-and I can work on putting another bag together. I am still enjoying this project very much. My stitches are not all even for sure but I am not going to concern myself with that.
I like how the stiches came out on the mimosa dyed yellow-click to enlarge for better viewing If you find them there are several square boxes within the stitches
Happy St Paddy's
ReplyDeleteThanks-you as well
DeleteI've never grown bluebells but they look gorgeous. I hope you have good luck with them. And your slow stitch is looking great too Kathy. No corned beef at my house tonight either. I'm not sure my husband even likes it, but I should have thought about making hash and getting some. Oh well. I hope you have good luck finding some when you shop this week.Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI am excited about these bluebells hoping they grow well they will spread too so that will be nice. I think one either really likes corn beef or doesn't at all I have never made hash with it-sounds good too. hugs
DeleteNot a fan of corned beef. We had chicken fajitas tonight. No celebrating St Patty's Day but I did wear green for work. Those bluebells are so pretty. We dont have those here that I know of. I do love snapdragons myself too. Glad those terrible storms did not affect you. So much damage and lost lives because of them. Janice
ReplyDeletewe love fajitas I made beef ones last week. I have never seen the blue bells in person but I heard they are a nice perennial that will spread too. Yes Missouri got hit really hard with the storms have a good week
DeleteBy shopping a couple of days after St. Patrick's you may be able to score a discounted corned beef.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that too
DeleteHappy Monday, Happy St Patricks Day and Happy Week!
ReplyDeleteBluebells always look lovely and the ones in the garden here spread well!
All the best Jan
