Gotta Knit!

Eye Candy Friday

Just sitting here longing for London.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eye Candy Friday

 

This past weekend The Man was outside mulching up a storm to prepare for the incoming cold snap.  Me?   I was napping on the couch with a poodle or two.   Woke up to find he'd brought in the last of the rose bushes blooms.

Now I know this is a strange thing but I've always had a thing for chandlers.   Even from a very young age I just have loved beautiful chandlers like they were exquisite glass flowers that light comes through.  Last Friday I spotted yet another one and dragged The Man up a flight or two of stairs to get a better view of it.

Isn't it just gorgeous!?

and look at those tiny things hanging from it.

One of the best things about early Summer is the gentle sweetness in the air of my Gardenia bush.   My bush now has new blooms every morning when I look our bathroom window.   Love the pure white and the soft look of the petals.

This is the first of the Japanese Iris to start blooming and it only just opened.  This group of Iris is the very special bunch that was given to The Man from my sweet cousin Kathleen.   Japanese Irises are one of The Man's most favorite of all blooms and she gave them to him when his Grandfather/Mentor died.    I always think of his Grandfather when they start blooming which is a rather nice way to start Spring.

Much to my surprise and joy I happened to catch a glimpse of the first Iris bulb of the Spring blooming in our garden.

Don't know why but looking at all the Iris blossoms still wrapped up tight in their cocoons made me think of the French countryside.

Might not look like much to you but after having to be on crutches for almost 4 weeks it is a beautiful sight to me!   Now I just look like a Cowgirl that has been on a horse way to long.   Got the wide loping gait going on.

Look what my sweet neighbor brought over to me last Friday.   Just in time for a little Saint Paddy's color.

So the guys around here have been a little busy and look what they happened to find.

Yep,  baby bunnies nest!    Can't tell here but there are actually two babies in there.   The Man didn't want to get to close in case Mom and Dad Bunny would abandon the babies if there was a human smell to the nest.   He told me they looked about the size that he could cradle in his hand.  Isn't it sweet looking!

Oh good news for me!   The Orthopedist told me I can start putting a little bit of weight on my left ankle now when I walk.  Honestly, you would have thought I had won the Lottery when he told me that.

Way back in October of 2008,  The Man and I went on a local garden tour.   Thought I would share two of my favorite things.

   

           
          
             
                     

I just think these freshly laid eggs are beautiful.   The depth of organic colors in the egg shells just made me stand there and stare at them for quite a while.   One of the things that The Man and I have been toying with is getting a few hens for eggs.   We'd have to build a  very safe coop and I've already told him the hens could only be for eggs. 

This also really spoke to me.

Wishing you a fibery good weekend!
