This years been a little hard for that as the snow never ends, but I did see a few things sprouting. How I wish I could grow wisteria!

I ate at the picnic table, napped in the swing over there, or just sat in the swing. I checked on lots more things than I do now. I don't have a lanai and don't live in Paradise...lol.

And I walk ...I walk around the house every morning. And I walk around the pool, the inside of the lanai, every morning too. And every day I eat lunch outside in the lanai and survey the areas surrounding my lot, checking the birds and butterflies. And every evening before supper I check to see if I have any tomatoes to pick. And every night before bed I walk out on the lanai and check the sky for the moon and stars. Guess i spend a lot of time outside - because I live in Paradise!!Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-83563757241018865602014-04-12T11:56:14.704-05:002014-04-12T11:56:14.704-05:00T'Pol,

My friend lived in Yemen for several years and said their flowering trees and other flowers were larger and prettier than anything here. I would like to see pictures.

Going out to see how much snow has melted sounds like something I might do...lol. Relaxing and informative is how I would describe it, too.<br /><br />OH, I am positive. He said he would help me but did not want to be my bf. The other day, he said he did not intend to be coming here this long--five years later.

This is the time of the year in Istanbul where you see tons and tons of purple wisterias, Judas trees and tulips. It is really beautiful. I should take some pictures and post.

I miss it.<br /><br />In early spring, I must go out fifty times a day just to see how far the snow has receded. I love to see the perennials coming back to life and see what else is poking up. So relaxing.---and informative.<br /><br />And again, I am going to tease you about exbf--because, I don't know---he spends an awful lot of time there for an ex.
