...it looked like it for awhile but now it has a strong resemblance to winter out here in OK. But you can't tell that to the hyacinth - they are wonderful. Old houses have many secrets and it is especially true as we watch what starts sprouting up in the yard and garden patches. The hyacinth were the first gift - little clumps all across the lawn. So here they are - albeit a little blurry but brought indoors to brighten a small space with other favorite things...
...little simple joys.
Words can also bring me a lot of joy and hope you find this as sweet as I do, too!
May I a small house and a large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books,
both true, both wise, and both delightful, too!
~ Abraham Cowley
Wishing you simple pleasures this week!
Hyacinths are amazing aren't they? They don't mind the snow. The picture behind them is wonderful.

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog for a visit. Your hyacinths are beautiful. I remember hearing about that flower on a story-record when I was a little girl. The princesses wore hyacinth perfume. I don't think I've thought about that since. Thank you for giving me a sweet memory.
Cheers!
