Friday 13th February - flowers, flowers and more flowers

On Tuesday I got some daffodils included in my grocery order;

At lunchtime the postman delivered a little postman from Flowerbee. BB gave me a monthly subscription for Christmas, arriving on or about the 15th of the month. I found a little bone china miniature tankard for the short-stemmed trimmings - I hate throwing them away.

And finally I had a surprise delivery...

There are chocolates as well! The keen eyed might spot there are only eleven roses, sadly one didn't survive the transit. These are already beginning to open up.

Outside has been.... cold and damp...  while we were eating breakfast we watched a mist suddenly appear, rising up from the nearby stream and drifting across the garden, and then just as mysteriously disappering. It didn't start raining until about 4 pm though.

I'm fiddling around with a new poem...

In the grey damp February 

Everyone made moan,

Earth was wet and squelchy

And the sun never shone.

I think it needs a bit of work...

Now for another chocolate
