Spring Flowers and some Trivia

   

Our favourite garden center is open and we made a quick trip to see what looked good. All the different Spring flowers were so beautiful. I chose some and then yesterday when the kids came over they brought more. I love it!!



In the background you can see my messy kitchen also some little jars of jam that I made earlier. I was awake and up early and after we walked I got busy.



Some bits of trivia...... our length of days here in Abbotsford got 1 hour and 30 minutes longer in February. In March we'll gain another hour and 48 minutes. 

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday  also known as Pancake Day. That will definitely be our supper.

I somehow managed to guess today's Wordle in two tries💗💗 

Thanks for visiting!

  1. I looked it up. We know it as Fat Tuesday, a day apparently to use us app rich foods, like milk and butter and eggs, before giving them up for Lent. I guess pancakes are one way to do that? Interesting what religious based customs hang. Enjoy your pancakes.

  5. Your flowers are lovely and even more is the fact that your children bring them . . . I love hearing about children to honor their mothers and fathers and who shower them with love and care :)

  8. Ooh, we must have pancakes then! I have some already made.
    Those little jars of jam are so cute. I am waiting on some strawberries that the local high school was selling. They should arrive mid-month so I will make some jam then.
    And the flowers! What joy!

  9. Sweet funny squirrel in the entrance :)
    These spring flowers have beautiful colors! Your "messy-kitchen" looks fine ! Here in Germany we also eat Pancakes called "Krapfen". They are filled with jam or pudding. And we eat "Weißwurst" - this is a special white sausage in Bavaria. I'm looking forward to tomorrow :)

  13. Yes indeed Fat Tuesday is just about here. time to use up all those things before Lent begins. Makes me think of Spring on the way.....at least in another month or two here. Winter storm predicted for this week. We have gotten very little snow this winter but lots of very cold temps. Love your Spring flowers!
