    I thought I'd share some new photos of plants I have. The warm weather has been nice for them:

    Those flowers look nice...oh, so nice. You guys' weather is so much better than ours here at the moment.
    The Daffs are pretty darn good-looking, aren't they? I like the arctic poppy as well.
    ...and geraniums in blom...I just can't get used to the idea. ha ha ha.

    Well, Melissa...things are looking very nice there. Congratulations, and thanks very much for posting the lovely pics.

    It's great to see that it's green and growing somewhere! Your cat looks pretty comfortable out there...is he guarding against pesky rabbits??? Great pics.

    I'm glad you all like them! It's currently 81F outside.
    Kasey, we don't have rabbits here, but up in the hills, not far from here there's some. We have squirrels that have been quite pesky. Jerry is a gentle giant of a cat. He's a Maine Coon. He's quite comfy out in the yard but prefers the indoors.

    Thanks for sharing your blooms and great weather Melissa. It's -20°C out right now and snowing and spring feels a lifetime away! I love that last Terra Cotta planter with the legs.

    Do the daffodils have a sweet smell? I'm so looking forward to smelling the flowers, but there aren't many here at the moment. I think I need to go and get us some potted ones for indoors. Thanks for sharing yours. That cat looks comfortable.
