Had to show you my Christmas flowers from my niece @Cinfhen - had to keep them in the bedroom with the door shut though as we have the two Kittens Who Can Not Be Trusted. 😂😂 I have already lost two pot plants to their wicked wiliness. Luckily they had won me over before they did it those dastardly rapscallions.

Bookzombie Beautiful! I also love all of the birds. 2y
Centique @Bookzombie yes! A lot of birds in that spot come to think of it 🦆🦜🦉 2y

Centique @Cinfhen thank you! No His Elderliness is still in hospital. It‘s been nearly 2 weeks. Physically he should pull through, mentally he‘s in bad shape, a lot of cognitive decline. It‘s been tough but an extra sister has flown up 💕 and has given me a needed break. 2y

Centique @CarolynM thank you @CarolynM @Ruthiella @Cinfhen ♥️ he finally got out of hospital last night and is back in the rest home. He caught COVID in hospital but seems to be just a mild case thanks to the antivirals and they‘ll keep him isolated for a few more days. 2y
Cinfhen Glad to hear your dad is out of hospital and of course I wish him a speedy recovery from Covid. Always something 2y
AlaMich I‘m sorry to hear about your dad. I know how difficult these situations can be from personal experience. 2y
Centique @AlaMich thank you so much. In books and movies, end of life is a straight path, in real life, it‘s full of twists and long stalemates 😢 I just want him to have a peaceful ending. 🙏 2y

We planted flowers!!! I‘ve never had flowers or planted them so I‘m extra excited and if anyone wants to give me advise or tips and tricks I will be very happy!! We have this big fellow and two smaller accent ones for our patio. My husband 100% knew what he was doing and I mostly played in the dirt 😂 #mademesmile

ladym30 Beautiful!❤️ 4y
TheAromaofBooks Love it!!! My only advice would be to check and see if these plants are heavy “feeders“ or not - plants in containers tend to need more fertilization than plants in the ground, because watering washes the nutrients out of the soil over time. Some plants don't need fertilizing, while others will really benefit from getting a regular boost!! Hope they grow beautifully for you!!! 4y
LaraS Keep a list somewhere of the plants that do well and the ones that don‘t so you know for next time...and don‘t stress about it if things don‘t go the way you were expecting, it‘s all about trial and error! 💐 🌺 🌸 (edited) 4y

Took a long walk this afternoon with my guy and my dog. We took a similar route 2 weeks ago and I had taken a few pics. Today I noticed that most of these have already fallen off to make way for the green leaves. #bloominglitsy #keeplitsypositive

Part of my wildflower patch. The honey bees love them. I let them grow as much as I can before I mow. @Come-read-with-me I know they're weeds, but aren't they pretty? #BloomingLitsy @Eggs
