A Little Spring.....

Every year for 19 years, two very small Freesia plants bloom along side the Xavier Ct. House driveway.

I did not plant them, they were here when we moved in.

Every Spring I cut them and put them on the kitchen window sill.

 Freesia is such a fragrant flower!


You can see a special tag in the background sent to me from Tammy, my Minnesota blogpal!


Just a gentle reminder that Spring is not far away!

    Hi Chris,
    Your kitchen surely smells like heaven with Freesia permeating the air. It's still icy and snowy where I live. No sweet smelling flowers yet.
    Your blog is such a delight. I love your style and polka dot borders.
    Thank you for stopping by and commenting, my friend.
    Blessings,
    Carolynn xo

    I love Spring and anxiously am waiting for the new growth that will soon be coming to my part of the world. I'l have to see if I can find some Freesia to plant. I am assuming it's a bulb?

    Your freesias are beautiful! We had freesias at our spring wedding - lots of spring flowers actually.

    Can't wait to see what you've done with the felt. Looks like it's going to be charming!

    And....it might be too late....but I love the bucket (?) that was turned on its side at your front door for your Valentine's tea. Can you share more? I'm quite intrigued.

    I wish I had some pretty freesia! Or some blooms of any kind! That looks pretty and your window sill looks just like mine! Tammy is a real sweet heart!
    Blessings,
