'Tuesday tulips!'

Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

You would not really think it is 'Spring' given the black overcast clouds, heavy winds, and now pouring rain; save for the beautiful array of foliage and flowers. Amongst all the different types of daffodils, colourful tulips, including some unique 'parrot tulips' (tulips with funky fringes around their edges), our purple tulips, are just about to spring into bloom! Just took a photo; and you can see one red and yellow 'parrot tulip' with the fringed edge! The purple tulips are a rich almost black / purplish colour, and the camera does not do them 'royal' justice, methinks!

Also, in yesterday's pictures of the tidbitz 'china rose garden', our wonderful loft skylight still encourages a bittidz bright glare. Perhaps too, the white coin dot Fenton vase was not positioned in the centre, of the clear vase behind it? I love that clear square vase; received that as a wedding gift (first marriage) from one of my best childhood friends. So, when I see the vase, I always think of her, and remember some of our fun times together! She has lived in Alberta all these years; and methinks one of these days, I should somehow contact her.

At the moment, am grateful for my elixir of coffee and enjoying the 'indoor garden' to the left of our computer. Alan prepares the coffee the night before and it is simply a matter of pushing a button. Well, voila! today, there was 'air coffee!' LOL! No coffee grains! So, I 'remade' the coffee this time (with coffee); and I am extra appreciative!

Shared also a bit about some of our nice neighbours yesterday. If you wish you can refer to January 5th's post of 'Monday Reflections' for a bittid of further background re: 'David'. Well, he passed away two days ago; his wife called us later last night, was appreciative of our card; alas, we were 'one day too late' with our message to her and him. However, the tidbit comforting way of accepting it, is that David is no longer suffering and is now at peace. Alan spent some time with David; so Alan is feeling extra sad; small wonder he was 'distracted' about the tid coffee grains.

Writing of 'air', I made 'air sandwiches' once. (Was 5 months pregnant with my first child). My first husband, his Dad, and myself had to go to the island for a day of business, and I was responsible for packing up a picnic lunch. Did all that; save that when we opened up the sandwich saran wrap, only bread, no filling! Whatever was I thinking of! Anyway, that has always been a 'family' joke!

Tidbit - A sense of humour is always good!

Bittid - Take a few minutes each day, to be reflective and thankful for your Blessings. 'Praise Him In ALL Things'.

Hope to be back later; and here is wishing you a great day!

God Bless.
