A Leap Month of Little Joys and Satisfactions: Because Spring Means Flowers to Me . . .

I spied a tiny gleam of pink in this pot of primroses on the deck outside the bedroom. I knew I just had to help it along. I brought the pot indoors to clean it up and keep in a window to hasten the blooms. It doesn't look like much right now, but give it a couple of weeks.

We're expecting more snow this coming week. Stealing some blossoms from winter's grip brings me a lot of joy!

A Leap Month of Little Joys and Satisfactions: Coffee, Tea, and Herbs

Yesterday, I chose another easy cupboard to clean -- my tea and coffee cupboard. I have the usual tea bags, tea paraphernalia, and coffee (grounds and instant).

While cleaning, I also came across several baggies and jars of dried herbs from my garden. I now have 3 jars of dried lemon balm, 1 jar of dried peppermint, and a tiny jar of black currant leaves that I am now using for my tea. Mmm, delicious!
