Sunshine this morning 11C . We saw more goose families while on our walk.
I want to do indoor chores this morning and spend the afternoon outside. That's my plan so I'll see if it comes to pass :)
I sowed Morning Glories in peat pots to give them a head start. I'll plant them out once the nights are a little less chilly.
I found out that this mystery plant is actually common Oregano which has next to no flavour whatsoever. It will go into the compost and I'll look for a better variety when I next visit the plant shop.
The lilacs are in full bloom now. There are white ones as well as this lighter purple and a dark one given to us years ago by a lovely lady who has since gone on to her reward.
We dropped off a few boxes at the thrift store yesterday. I did a quick browse and found some magazines that I'll keep on the porch for when I have nothing to do but sit and read LOL
It doesn't matter to me if a magazine is older. What matters is that I'm paying far less than the cost of a new one. Daphne's Diary has the original price right on it....$25. in Canada.
I better get going here. Thanks for visiting.
I love the Birds and Blooms magazine. I also loved Reminisce magazine which sadly is no longer around.
ReplyDeleteLilacs are gorgeous and fragrant.
Unfortunately they don't live long here in Montreal due to our hot and humid summers. They dry up so quickly.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I am enjoying the lilacs in the neighborhood, but they havent done well here in our shady garden.
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs are such pretty colors. Too bad about the oregano, though. I look forward to following your process with the marigolds.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to have found a "Daphne's Diary" magazine and yes, I agree, the price of new magazines is prohibitive! Your lilacs are gorgeous though I can't quite envision lilacs in bloom here yet. We woke up to a layer of snow this morning tho' it has melted by now.

Those Lilacs are beautiful. Birds and Blooms is a fun magazine.
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs are such lovely colours...lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
those lilacs are pretty! I love hearing about your days!
ReplyDeleteI used to get Blooms and Birds years ago. My mom gave me a subscription. Love lilacs. I too try to get inside stuff done in the morning so I can get outside in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThose magazine titles are new to me. The idea of having a few in your porch is such a good one; all I have to to now is build a porch to sit and read in!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting blue flower grows from seeds. Is it a climbing plant?
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs are pretty we are due them by memorial day usually.
ReplyDeleteI love magazines I look for them at the thrifts too.

This is funny and very true: An elder magazin just is cheeper than a new one but not better! Xaver always was reading the newspaper from one month before. Enjoy your plants and flowers, and enjoy everything you do! Greetings to the ducks!
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to take Birds and Blooms. Over he years I was a big magazine reader, mostly due to her influence!
ReplyDeleteBirds and Blooms is such a nice magazine.
ReplyDeleteYour lilacs are so beautiful. I love how they smell.
ReplyDeleteOur lilacs are beginning to bloom under our bedroom window. It smells heavenly. Usually it's closer to the end of May but it's been a crazy spring. We could have freezing temps over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Beautiful lilacs and a great quote at the end. Wishing you and yours a happy May Day…and month! xo Virginia
