March

March's flower of the month is a Daffodil. You know it is spring when you see these flowers pop out of the ground. Time to plan the garden!

I know she wants me to leave her alone!

I can't help it!

Friday's Favorites

On my birthday the BFF took to one of my favorite places, Reading Terminal Market. We had a great time! Not until we got there did we realize the Philadelphia Flower Show was going on at the convention center only a block away. So traffic was crazy, parking was limited, and everyone decided to eat lunch at the market.

If you're ever in Philadelphia the is a must see. Along with the other hundreds of sites.

40? Really!

So today was my birthday. 40...Yikes! I had a great day. Spent the day in Philly with the BFF(I'll blog about this later) and then the evening with the husband. I got lots of birthday messages from friends on facebook, texted and voicemails. Multimedia birthday greetings are the best. My favorite message was from my Mom. She calls around 5:35pm and leaves this message every year..."It's 5:35 and I've had my last contraction and then they knocked me out, Happy Birthday!"

Here are a few fanous people I share a birthday. My favorite is Dr. Suess and Bon Jovi.

The Cats are Starting to Hate Me!

My camera is at the ready at all times. When ever there is an opportunity I take it, mostly with the cats. I never thought an animal would get tired of getting its picture taken! Well I think they have gotten to that point. Oliver most of all. It takes me forever it get him to look at me. Maybe I need some new subjects. I wonder how the husband would feel about another cat and a few dogs?

Snowmageddon!

So with in a week we got a total of 30+ inches!

Now according to the fellow that correctly predicted these storms is now predicting a whopper around the 6th or 7th of March! We'll see.

February

I know February is almost over. But I wanted to let you know the flower for the month, which is Viola.

Some of the species of the Viola are commonly know such as; pansies, violets and heartsease. Pansies are one of my favorite. I can't wait until I can plant them again. Whenever the snow melts!

Tuesday's Tip

Along the edge of fabric, which is called the selvage edge, you'll find a lot of information. Including manufacturer, most of the time the name of the fabric, and a really helpful color chart. This is a great tool for picking out coordinating colors and fabrics!

Kitty Collage Monday

Always a cool cat!

January

If you haven't noticed the picture in my heading is a bunch of carnations. Carnations or Dianthus Caryophyllus are the birth flower of January. A lot of people a not fans of carnations. They are thought of as cheap filler flower. I think they get a bad wrap. If you get a large bunch all the same color and put them in a simple pretty vase you be very pleased. Give carnations a chance the next time you need to buy flowers.
