One of the most important things in this world --is to have  someone---think about you once in awhile---and I thank all of you that took the time to wonder if all was well !

All was not well....as I have been STILL struggling with a    feeling of tiredness--that has hung on my back--like the proverbial monkey--since getting that virus thats been going around....several months ago now !

Normally -----I would of been to  the garden center several times for supplies....and I would be smiling as I went  at  the Tulips and Daffys---often being   out in full force........both in the southern facing yards outside here and there........ and at the garden centers...which often would specialize in hugh masses of colors and varietys..but.....Not this year !!

The green leaves of my early tulips are just emerging from their winter sleep..they are in ...no way ready to flower.....and ..as of yet  are not even forming  flower heads !

Since I was down for the count the week before Easter this year--I was in full lament --because I felt that I was missing EVERYTHING this year....but a trip to the garden  center two days ago..relieved all my fears....the weather here had simply been TOO COLD...TOO WINDY..and TOO WET  !!! The garden center has very little to offer...because nothing   much had come in yet...their choices were several  colors in cold weather Petunias ......and a few Primrose  out on the racks.

I decided to forgo the outdoor plantings at least for now....so ........I bought a large bag of potting soil ---and will re-pot my indoor Christmas Cactus...Snake Plants..and Spider Plants......and to add to my family of Plants...I also brought home a beautiful Easter lily..that was left over and 1/2 price -----------even though it was clearly in its prime of life. I asked it if it wanted to come home with me---and it whispered in my ear  YES ...I too am just looking for someone to care for me !!!!!!!...............so I willing took it home....................

It is living its life out in  my kitchen ------on my table--its glourious trumpet shaped flowers still announcing the now ---- week gone Holiday !........I may return and try to find a few of its other  family members..and have a group !
