Blooming Now




I know many of you are in the midst of a snow storm and I am thinking of you and praying for your safety. Here are my pansies blooming now in various containers in our back yard. I have these positioned so that we can see them from the kitchen windows. Make your views wonderful and washing dishes becomes much easier.

Thank for your kind comments about my terrible week. I have adjusted my attitude, prayed, breathed, and realized I am not in control even when I grasp for control all the time.


happy gardening
Olive

    The snow has stopped in my little corner of the world and the sun is actually shining! I love your pansies, Olive, and will plant some in a couple of months.

    I'm glad you have flowers blooming to spread a little colour and beauty through your world this week. It's hard to feel bad when you are gazing at the pretty face on a pansy!

    I love planting pansies in the spring, yours look so pretty Olive! We just had 14 inches of snow fall yesterday, but I love that too!

    I love pansies. They have faces. Sorry about your week, I've been blog-absent and missed seeing about it. However, as I write this I'm looking at your favorite quote of the month, and it speaks the truth. Ann

    Look at their smiling little faces. I call them garden cherubs. Thanks for sharing.

    Olive,
    The pansies are stunning. We were in DC a couple of weeks ago and were gratified to see pansies and even 2 rose bushes blooming!
    The snow missed us, but it is supposed to be in single digits tonight.
    God bless you as you deal with what you deal with. Sending you a hug.

    Thanks for some pretty color today. It's been cloudy and dreary here for days and they are predicting a snowstorm for here tomorrow. We are not suppose to be in the heart of it. But if we get a couple of inches and the wind comes up like they say, we will have a blizzard.

    Your pansies are so pretty. I had plans to get some this week, but never got around to it. I stopped at WalMart and checked to see if they had any and not one was to be found. I'll go to the garden center next week. Have a great week.

    It does help so much to have something pretty to look at while washing dishes. I like your title, "Blooming Now". I hope it is a sign of how you're feeling today!

    Wasn't today's weather just beautiful? Still a little chilly, but not bad. Your pansies are very pretty. Glad that you're able to put some of your negative feelings into perspective. It seems when we turn things "over" to God, things have a way of working out. I've had to do that before and it feels like a huge burden has been lifted off of me.

    No snow here, but no pansies either. I tried to buy some today but the store said they wouldn't have them in stock for another 2 weeks. :( Yours are lovely, and I'm glad they cheer you up when you've had such a bad week. I hope things are better this coming week!

    So sorry to hear that you've had a bad week Olive ....... those cheery faces of your pansies must have cheered you up a bit though.
    We are expecting snow tonight here in the UK so, Spring will have to wait a while. XXXX

    Thank you for sharing your blooms...I'm certain it will be several weeks before I have any of my own. When I feel overwhelmed by life in general my mantra becomes the Serenity Prayer. It somehow helps to say it to myself. Here's hoping this week is wonderful.
