Seedlings...

I have them everywhere. I can't wait to plant them outside and have the house back to normal. Although my house is small it has three floors and running up and down with a water mister and water bottle is not so much fun.

I can't iron anything right now....too bad. Honestly I really miss ironing!!!



Sunny downstairs window.





Germinating seeds sitting on the heat ducts in the basement.


I have quite a few tomatoes, some flowers, cukes, and zucchini. My peppers and eggplant are not germinating very well so I may have to buy those. On the good side two of my luffa seeds started and are well on their way and I have tomatillos growing for the first time this year.

Anything new in your veggie garden this year?

Granville Island

I spent Saturday walking, drinking and eating at Granville Island. It's a beautiful place in the middle of the big city, Vancouver. Here you will find the public market, two theaters, the Emily Carr University, artisans, and  lots and I mean lots of food.





Feeling very much like a country bumpkin I had to take a picture of this $50.00 broom. In fact this store only sells brooms, all handmade, and all very expensive. There must be some very rich witches out there.

The pea ....

That fell off the plate...



I often feel like that...just a tad different than rest.

It was difficult as a child but now that I'm all growed up...

I love it.

Do you feel a little different than the rest?

Closed...Open

Once again I don't know the name of this indoor plant, but look at the flowers...

Flowers were closed about 2 weeks ago.




Flowers opened just a day ago....

Under the firs...

Spring has sprung under these tall firs.




Salmon berry



Moss, lots and lots of moss



Unfurling ferns
