Weekend Musings

Yesterday the fog finally lifted, revealing our beloved Mt. Rainier.

 We haven't had a glimpse of the mountain in weeks. 

I spent the afternoon with my friend, Ginger, browsing at the Windmill Nursery in Sumner, WA. 

But first we had lunch at the little bistro on site. 

There was a lovely selection of early spring flowers. 

Primroses, Heather, potted Daffodils, 

Pansies,

Vinca, and so much more. 

I had to show some restraint! 

I did come home with two flats of flowers that I will be potting up for some early spring color on my deck. 

There was also a gift shop. 

Of course I had to bring these little charmers home! 

They will go perfectly with these! 

And these! Oh, I have such a weakness for robin's egg blue pottery! 

And blue glass! The fish sauce server and tiny hand blown glass pitcher was my Dear Mother's. 

And who doesn't love blue canning jars? Don't they make lovely vases for daisies and wildflowers?

The skies are not so clear today! The clouds are moving very fast. 

 I won't be doing any potting today.

It is windy and cold,

making my wind chimes sing and dance. 

This is the only sun for today!

(Do you see our little spider friend peering at us from the top?)

So I am staying in and looking out. 

 I did get some beautiful roses for Valentine's Day to keep me company. 

And a gift of angels, too! 

With chocolates to keep me sweet. 

Oh, and did I mention that I am pet sitting this little girl, Peanut, for the weekend? (A photo of my oldest son  on his wedding day, peeking behind my computer)

And this little sweetheart, Weenie Baby.  (She is very suspicious of the camera! Don't get too close!)

So who needs sunny skies when I have so much love inside! 

Wishing you a cozy and love filled weekend, too! 

What are you doing this weekend?
