Mercy has come our way in the past 24 hours, in that we've been able to give some blessed relief to two weary travelers who ended up NOT traveling thanks to a comedy of errors on the part of their airline due to the poor weather on the ground in New York. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do some good for my nearest & dearest, particularly since I haven't seen my eldest since Christmas break (that is, until about 10:30 last night). While the weather up north shows no sign of abating until Monday night or Tuesday, their travel plans now call for a flight to the city tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, here in beautiful downtown Hot House (where we actually got SNOW on SEVERAL occasions this winter!)...
The annual sprinkling of the pine pollen has begin (usually does so JUST in time for Easter, which is three weeks from today). Looks like I'll be washing my car MORE often for a while just to keep the "yellow snow" from tricking folks into thinking my white car IS yellow! Daffodils & narcissus are blooming, joining the pansies & ornamental kale that have been imbuing gardens with color since the holiday season. One of my camellia bushes started blooming shortly around early February & another looks set to pop into bloom in time for Easter. (That's a sign of how cold our winter has been--usually the early bloomer is festooned with flowers for Christmas & the late bloomer is coming to a stop for the season about now.)
I'll be watching for leprechauns later this week, trying to grab one & his pot of gold. ;) Hope you find one too.
