Well February is on it's way out and March will be coming in. I wonder if it will come in like a Lion or a Lamb as the old saying goes!
Things have been really busy, working alot. I only seem to be able to get on here once a month. I hope that with my decrease in days at work (I asked for only 3 days a week and still have the weekends off) that I will have more time to do things I like to do. I do like work, but it is alot sometimes. I did get to do 4 days of arrangement making for the floral department for Valentine's Day!! Here are some of the arrangements I made:
They were all alot of fun to make and every one of them sold!
Josh, the Floral Manager told us (there were 4 of us helping out for Valentine's Day in different roles) that we could take anything in the Floral Department for a thank you from him for all our hard work. He had one of the one most beautiful roses and I asked if I could have them. It was 1 1/2 doz of these roses and I was able to make 3 arrangements out of them when I got home. Here they are:
There was a beautiful sunrise one of the mornings in early February that I would love to paint (watercolor) sometime.
Just absolutely gorgeous the colors were!!
My double amaryllis opened and it was beautiful! There were 2 stalks and so many buds on them. They opened and died and then it sent a 2' stalk out and it is getting ready to open again. Just beautiful! I got it from Longwood Gardens.
My ruffled pansies are still going strong outside in a planter on the front porch. I always have regular pansies but I've never seen the ruffled ones. I got these at Pike's Nursery. So beautiful.

| This is my Helebore (Lenten Rose) blooming in my garden. I used to have Helebore in Mint Hill when I lived there. I always love them because they are one of the earliest flowers to bloom. This one hasn't let me down! |

| This is a rose I bought at work and made an arrangement from the dozen. I just love the coloring!! |
 |
| This is my Easter decorating on my Dining Room table. I bought a new Linen look table runner at Hobby Lobby also. |
 |
| I bought this cute pink gingham mug. Like I really needed another mug! I just couldn't pass it up for the pre-Easter and Easter season. I bought this and a cute little pink plate with a bunny on it at work. |
Well thanks for coming on this journey with me! I have been knitting some and I have a watercolor commissioned piece to paint. I am also planning on where I'm going to put the 3 roses I ordered and some other plants. There will be a change in the garden behind my house. It will be much better for roses (the full sun) than veggies. I ordered a raised bed with legs for some veggies, which I will put back by the tree that hangs over my property. In the future I would like to have about 4 raised beds with legs back there. Kind of a veggie haven and some herbs. I would also like to plant a tree or two back there. The sun sometimes is so intense, just a little too much!
I am still painting my rooms in the main part of the house. I was working so much and exhausted I stopped after I painted the living room. I definitely will be working on the kitchen soon. Then maybe my bedroom and master bath. Eventually I would like to have the whole house painted. I can only do a little at a time though due to time and this body isn't as young as it used to be LOL!!
Well everyone have a wonderful month and hopefully I'll get on here more and you can see what I've been up to!
