The end of false spring

Sometime today a cold front will arrive and there will be frost by Friday morning!

But the other day on the way home from lunch at the Senior Center, I slowed enough to capture a few of the early blossoms.

The chair volleyball game was still going when I got there. Menu today was chicken parmesan with spaghetti and roasted Brussels Sprouts and a dinner roll, with milk and a cookie. That day I remembered to bring my own silverware so I didn't use the plastic-ware which is provided. An attempt to help the planet one fork and spoon at a time!

And the Bradford Pear greeted me as I swung into my own driveway.

The faded colors are through the windshield.

Though the sun is playing hide and seek with possible showers (none have appeared yet) I saw these lovely little blueish purple goodies...not violets I think, but...?

Oscar Wilde was right, “It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.”

Thankful Thursday!  Floral Fridays!

Sweet miniature roses

 Another birthday present.

Why, you might wonder, is that black welcome mat up against the wall? Well, I noticed it was shedding when I wiped my feet on it, and bits of black were coming in the house. Enough said.

I'm enjoying finding more ancestors on my tree. This week I discovered another mother of a great grandmother times seven, or 7 x great grandmother. And they were still in New England, though one of the fathers had been on the Mayflower. Will have to share that with my grandkids, so they can say so in case that comes up in conversation. Right!

Linking to Floral Fridays!
