This hyacinth on my back porch makes me exceedingly happy every time I look at it. And it smells wonderful too. This is what spring is all about.
I don’t have too much for this post tonight as I am recovering from a migraine. I’ve been down all afternoon in a heap of misery. Luckily the bulk of the pain has passed. I just have the residual weird feeling in my head that comes after such a severe headache. It’s like a shadow headache or something.
Anyway, I decided to share the spring love with our new across-the-street-neighbors this morning. They moved in last week from Miami. I dropped off a pretty orange plant (not sure of the name) in a pretty orange pot with a card welcoming them to the neighborhood. They were not home when I stopped by so I left it out front where they would see it.
Later this evening as I was getting the watering can out of our garage, Vi, our new neighbor, flagged me down to thank me. She said that a welcoming gesture like that would have never happened in Miami. She was so nice and made my day with our little chat. I’m glad I finally got to meet her!
Oh, and a horsefly bit my left buttock while I was laying by the pool the other day. Now I have a huge, itchy welt the size of my hand. Just in case you were curious…
