AN OLD FASHIONED VASE OF FRESH FLOWERS

I picked a bouquet of flowers from my garden before all the rain today could beat them into the ground. My house smells wonderful! There is nothing that smells better than hyacinths in the spring, after a long winter. Not that we have had much winter here, but still.This is a very old vase, but I like it  for displaying different flowers.

These are the old fashioned hyacinths that smell sooo good. I wonder if you can still buy these bulbs or if they are a pass along plant now. I have divided mine all over the garden, in case they decided not to like the spot I had them in. I have also shared with friends. I certainly would not want to lose this bulb!

The rose colored hyacinths are not old, but they sure are pretty.I am joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday at http://www.astrollthrulife.blogspot.com I am sure there will be lots of beautiful Valentines tables, but I have never decorated too much for that holiday.

TRAVELING

I took a road trip yesterday to visit a friend in the Delta. These are a few photos I took on the way.

These are in Canton, they have some beautiful old homes. John Grisham's A Time To Kill was filmed here, as well as My Dog Skip based on the Willie Morris book.

I hope you enjoyed going on this road trip. I will share more later.

WAGON TRAIN

Every year Mississipp has the Dixie National Rodeo . People travel in old time wagon trains from vsrious parts of Ms. to the state fair grounds to this event. This is not something I would do-as it is usually pretty chilly in February. Also I am not a roughing it kind of girl. It is always fun to see the wagon trains traveling thru though.I spotted this group stopped for lunch.

Can you imagine traveling down todays busy highways in these? The horses must be trained really well. It takes days or maybe weeks for some to get to their destination. They stop and camp every night. I imagine they are only traveling just a few hours a day. There was a terrible tragedy several years ago. While camping for the night, a young couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning thru a faulty heat source in their wagon. They left several small children. So sad.They take their bathrooms with them! My hats are of to these people for remembering the old ways!

VALENTINE TREATS

I made Valentines cookies for my favorite people, but thought I would take a break for a cup of coffee and a few for myself. I love my red dishes, I love to use them.

But here it is eleven o'clock and I  have no motivation!Maybe Hugh Hefner has something about living in your pajamas!HAAAA!I have been picking up around the house though, so the day hasn't been a total waste.

I even took a photo of my tulips to cheer me up.Isn't nature fascinating? O.K. I know I need to stop goofing of and get busy! Catch you guys later.
