Flower power

April 27, 2011 By Gail


In an effort to recycle, I planted my hyacinth bulbs from last year hoping they would return this spring. The issue was that these bulbs came in a pot as part of a blooming plant group, so I had no idea if they would be hardy over a Minnesota winter.
To my surprise they did come back this spring…and it has been a harsh winter followed by a bitter spring. (We may have snow again tomorrow morning!) Okay, the blooms aren’t perfect. In fact they have flower bed head. But they still smell sweet, and that burst of purple makes my heart sing when everything else is still brown. I love my hardy little troopers. Like me, they may not be classic- pretty, but they give their gifts with love. They were the best part of my day.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

    I and my guys appeared to be looking at the good tips and tricks located on your web page and then all of a sudden came up with an awful suspicion I had not expressed respect to the website owner for those secrets. The ladies were as a result very interested to read through all of them and already have certainly been making the most of them. We appreciate you getting quite accommodating as well as for settling on this kind of excellent useful guides most people are really wanting to be informed on. Our honest regret for not expressing appreciation to sooner.
