Today was a nice day...

 Today was a good day...anytime I can get outside is! The weatherman kept saying this was going to be the warmest day of the week...it got to 70 today! It is supposed to be back in the 50's by Thursday...so I thought I would garden for a bit in the sun...the only problem was the wind...it has been really blowing the last few days...today was no exception...but our house blocks the wind a great deal...so we worked in the back...we had some visitors...a whole bunch of Mourning Doves..

We always have a pair in the yard...but there were about 8 up in the tree in my neighbors yard...just sitting there...coming down two at a time to feed at the bird feeder...

 I picked some tangerines too...and ate a couple...yum...nice and sweet and juicy! There aren't as many as last year...probably due to the very warm winter we had last year...but they are a lot bigger! 

 Here's a friend that keeps me company back here...there are lots of violas blooming right now...but it only seems like the purple ones came back...I collect seeds and planted a ton...but I don't separate them by color...I just put them in one bowl and see what happens....this year looks like only the purple shades grew...

 A few Gerber Daisies are blooming now too...

 And this too! I'm not really sure what type of lettuce it is...I can't remember...but it came up on it's own and is doing quite well...it's from a salad mix seeds I planted last year...they were all good...this one must have sent some seeds out...lucky me!

I am still making more of these...I had some special orders for birthdays in February...I finished all my orders ...this was one...now to add a few to my Etsy shop!

We have been pretty much home bodies this new year so far...I have finished 3 books...easy reads from Lilian Jackson Braun...there's about 24 in her series about a man who has two Siamese cats who help him solve crimes...fun...fast and no gore...more like old fashioned mysteries...I have 4 left to read and Don ordered them for me today from the library...we went to the movies...saw The Hobbit...liked it, but it is a bit different from the book...artistic leeway I guess...yesterday we went to Mimi's for an early dinner...they have the unlimited soup and salad on right now and we had a gift card...gee...we lead a pretty exciting life...don't we!! Actually...life is good...I'm very blessed!!

Until next time...enjoy your day!!!
