Today…

…some of my Paperwhites are on the kitchen table and growing nicely, snug in their mossy basket.  I’m looking forward to opening the door in the mornings to their heady scent…

…I have the bluest of blue hyacinths on the kitchen windowsill…

 

Blue hyacinth buds

…and the first of this year’s shop-bought tulips…

…elsewhere in the house, I have been making a little something to protect my Christmas present…

…the clue is in the fabric…

    Lovely fabric, and just can't resist the spring bulbs.

  3. Flowers ARE definitely the cure/antidote to January! Are those the late blooming hyacinth that you mentioned some weeks back? I have a bowl of hyacinth just emerging . . . (and it will be a lovely surprise because I can't remember what colour they are!).

  4. btw, I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird right now -- for my Mother/Daughter Book Club.
    I noticed it on your "favourite book" list.

  5. Love the scent of hyacinths (the ones I planted are nowhere near as advanced as yours) and tulips are my absolute favourite flower. Nice work on the cover, btw.
