It was another beautiful day. I may have mentioned that I was looking for Poppy seeds. I wanted mixed colours but only found these red ones, which I sowed yesterday.
Walmart had a big display of different kinds of bulbs outside near the entrance. I looked at them every time I walked by hoping they would soon be marked down. Finally they were. 50% off. Eldest came by and helped put all 18 into a smallish area that I managed to clear of perennial Bleeding Heart and Lily of the Valley. I'm hoping they make a lovely display in a couple of months.
Something happened and my picture shifted. At least it didn't disappear.
This lovely bouquet was delivered to my door today thanks to one of my sons. You might think it would be Coals to Newcastle but I don't think I ever have too many flowers!!
(No doubt you are familiar with that term but just in case you are not it refers to bringing something to a person who already has an ample supply of that product.)
I did do a bit of baking this afternoon. DH brought in some rhubarb from our rather pathetic plants and there was enough to make Rhubarb Muffins. I used a recipe called Aunt Norma's Rhubarb Muffins.
That's it for today. Thanks for visiting.
The picture on the packet of red poppies looks just like the ones that my neighbor has growing profusely on his property. They re-seed themselves everywhere. He brought the seeds from a Greek island, and when my girls and I were on a Greek island last year we also saw them growing wild there. I'm hoping to get them to grow in my garden, too.
ReplyDeleteI love ❤️ poppies. The muffins look delicious.
ReplyDeleteMuffins look good!
ReplyDeleteWow, rhubarb muffins... they look delicious and are quick to make...
ReplyDeleteHa, I'm going to get started right away.
Your bouquet is beautiful, and I love the snapdragons... and I love poppies.
Warm regards, Viola
I still haven't managed to try rhubarb, but that muffin looks scrumptious. You can never have too many flowers! (:
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking muffins! A truly lovely bouquet. I love poppies so much!
ReplyDeleteGood old Walmart to have those mark - downs! You always have the prettiest flowers, inside and outside.That’s a great saying about gardeners…true!…and …always hopeful! I haven’t ever heard that saying, so now I know…I tend to say…’it’s like taking sand to the beach’😁 Yummy muffins! Happy weekend, Virginia
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look yummy. Using your own home grown rhubarb always makes them taste better too. :-) I think it's so sweet that your kids bring you flowers for no reason at all, just because they love you. That is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and love,
Betsy
I never heard that expression before.
ReplyDeleteThe muffins look delicious.
Beautiful flowers!!
Rhubarb is so sour, yet when you add sugar and mix it in something, it is wonderful. Is there a life lesson there?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteThe Rhubarb Muffins look and sound tasty.
That's a great gardening meme :)
All the best Jan
Good luck with your Glads. I have a few here and they are always productive.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and beautiful bouquet (and delicious looking muffins). It was so chilly today that I baked just to try to warm up the house but that was not enough so I turned on the furnace. I was hoping my rhubarb would be big enough by now to enjoy some Rhubarb Platz but it just hasn't grown enough yet. (So true about a gardener's definition of "relaxing"!)

Like selling ice to the inuits, and sand to the Arabs. Although I believe the Arabs do buy sand, as their sand isn't so suitable for building with... but that's maybe a myth too...?
ReplyDeleteI have spread a few zinnia seeds that is about it this year. Your bouquet is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe muffins sound good I need to do something with my rhubarb soon.

I must try poppies again. No luck for years, but there's always hope!
ReplyDeleteThe muffins look perfect. I can just taste them!
It's proving to be cold and wet here, not ideal gardening weather!
ReplyDeleteI never think to look for poppies! They are a beautiful flower...
ReplyDeleteThe muffin looks delicious!
hugs
Donna
Your home is happily filled with flowers and lovely baking!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote at the end! That would be me. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rhubarb muffins sound delicious. I will have to see if I can find a recipe for them.
Muffins look VERY good. I'm always down with a good sale. Something fun about waiting and then that sale hits. Hot dog. Life is good.
