Every February my friend and I look forward to visiting
our local nursery for their annual garden show.
It's a glimpse of spring that we all need this time of year!
We have lunch and then stroll through the garden displays.
Beautiful.
After the visit I bought some pretty Daffodils to brighten the house.
And, a few seed packets-
basil, cilantro, parsley to start.
My son gave me a great set up to start my seedlings this year.
How did he know, it was just what I wanted!
I never talked about it.
Recently he gave me my belated Christmas gift-
what a surprise-
a big over head light, various sized trays and blocks for starting the seeds.
Hopefully, I can get everything started this weekend
and before you know it we'll be making fresh pesto and salsa!
Everyone's favorites.
If you're experiencing winter storms-stay safe and warm.
And, if your lucky to be in a warm climate-enjoy!
Take care.

We have had so little snow in Chicago this year, that I am actually enjoying this storm. But spring ... oh yes, I am ready for it.
Fondly,

Great photos...such gorgeous flowers! What nursery did you visit...I'm from upstate NY as well. That's a great gift from your son. I can't wait to start planting as well...Spring can't get here soon enough!
The flowers are especially nice to see, there is some kind of storm heading this way later tonight. Good Luck with your seeds, Lynn!
Hi Lynn,
Oh just what you need at this time of year. I love visiting the local greenhouse and see all of their spring bulbs planted and just breath in the air. Beautiful photos!
Enjoy your gift, so sweet of him.
All the Best,
