Saturday Evening

Can you smell this yet? I kept getting wafts of a lovely scent all day, and discovered it must have been coming from this bush of little roses in the corner of the garden. None of the buds are really open yet, but there were several that were far enough along to leak out a little of their perfume.
I want to say a huge thank you ALL for the lovely comments lately. I am so lucky to have met so many wonderful new blogging friends.. I never knew this life was out there.
And a lovely day at the post office! The newest issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, plus a package covered with these awesome stamps. Let me tell you, inside are some terrific goodies, I will have to show 'n' tell next week.
So I think I might have killed my daisies.. boo hoo! This is what they looked like the other day, before I messed around with the roots. I was trying to free them from some mesh that I had layed down several years ago to keep the weeds from taking over. But evidently the daisies were fine until I did that..
This is what they looked like shortly after.. and by the next day the flowers were very very sad. I cut them all off and put them in a vase.
They perked up enough that I can enjoy them in the house a little while. But I really think the plant is done. I see no sign of life. I keep watering it.. and hoping. At least these pots turned out pretty I thought. Some impatience and coleus.
Now Im off to sit and enjoy the evening with the flowers and my new magazine. Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing tomorrow.

Hi Eileen, wow your 1st rose of the year-I'm so excited for you. there really is no smell like rose to conjure up Summer.

Ooo "Patchwork and Quilting"! I keep promising myself that I'll subscribe to a magazine once I have a managable ideas list. At the moment I have pages of things I want to do when I have enough time.

Bad luck with the daisies but the coleus look brill.
