Tuesday

You may have already seen this trailer. I saw it for the first time at Janie Junebug's and loved it. Hope you do too.


AND...
My first Iris to bloom this spring. And it just happens to be the one my daughter and SIL gave me for Mother's Day last year.

AND...The trees are blooming.
AND...
I saw in the writing community, some authors were giving away book reads to offset the stay-at-homes and folks who have lost their means of income. I thought this was a great idea and I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Apologies in advance for the areas where it's not offered as a freebie.
Order here

What's going on at your place? Trees blooming? Irises? Stay safe. Stay healthy.

I hadn't seen this before, but it goes to how I feel, too. I just didn't put it as well as Chris Mann did.

Beautiful blooms, and wonderful photo of the lucky iris you got last year.

So kind of you to offer freebies. Sadly, I don't have a kindle.

Power stones is a good book, I can recommend it! Lovely to see the first spring flowers and blooms, enjoy, stay safe! Hugs, Valerie

Huge thanks to ALL those working the front line. Including those stocking the stores we all depend on. The posties. Those who ensure we have power. The volunteers...
LOVE that iris.
Our spring bulbs are starting to emerge from the ground. Too early, but exciting just the same.
And thank you, as always for your generosity.

Elizabeth Seckman said...

My flowers are gorgeous this year. I should snap some pictures for my blog post this week.

Thanks for the free book. I'll start it tonight!

Pat Hatt said...

Sure all in bloom indeed. A great video and all of them deserve thanks and so much more. Free is a win at any bin.

I'm not sure my irises are even going to bloom. However, my Christmas flower is about to.

Adam said...

Nice flowers

Danielle L Zecher said...

That video is awesome! Thank you for sharing it. And your iris is beautiful. I like them, but haven't been able to grow them.

Sandra Cox said...

He does it well, doesn't he, Elizabeth.
Thank you. I'm always excited to see the first one bloom.
I'd be lost without my kindle. I hop back and forth between the kindle and paper.
YOU stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

Oh thank you, Val. How kind of you.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Elbow bumps.

Sandra Cox said...

I echo your sentiments.
Can't wait till your bulbs bloom.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Elbow bumps.

Jeanie said...

Wow! Looks at that gorgeous iris! It's a stunner. And the redbug tree -- my very favorite tree; wish I had one. I love that Chris Mann piece!

Hot guys said...

Nope, never seen that trailer before. But oh Lord, those flowers are blooming beautifully! So are the trees, that's my favorite part of Spring, I think.

CJ Kennedy said...

That iris is gorgeous! And so generous of you to give your book aways. Take care.

Birgit said...

This is a great song and we had another done to a Tragically Hip song which was great. They are on the front lines and must be frustrated at times. Love your trees and flowers because we are slower here but it will come. Hope you are doing well and stay safe

R's Rue said...

Beautiful.

D.L. Finn said...

Beautiful iris and spring pics Sandra:) I haven't heard this song yet thanks for sharing and the free book. I added it to my kindle! Xo

Sandra Cox said...

Please do. I'd love to see your flowers.
You are most welcome.

Sandra Cox said...

They do indeed deserve thanks, and masks, and so much more.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

Mine have been pretty slow this year. I wouldn't be surprised if next week you start seeing some buds.
Snap a pick of your Christmas flower, please, and post it for us:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thank you, sir:)

Sandra Cox said...

Isn't that video great?
My garden thanks you:) Are the eyes of your rhizome above ground?
Thanks for stopping by Danielle.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Jeanie. I love redbud trees too but still pine for a lilac.
Wasn't Chris Mann just spot on?

That is kind of the authors to give books away. Naturally the exact opposite is happening weather wise to you. The leaves are turning and the nights cool, and the heating on.

Christine said...

Heartwarming song thanks.

Lee said...

Wonderful...

We must never forget those "out there" serving the populace in all ways...putting their own health and welfare at risk. They deserve our respect and our gratitude.

Best wishes to you and your loved ones, Sandra...take good care. :)

Magic Love Crow said...

That video brought tears to my eyes! Thanks Sandra!
Your iris is gorgeous and I love your trees! Good for you giving away one of your books!
Big Hugs!

That song video is so great! Thanks for sharing. I am going to share it also.

Sandra Cox said...

Definitely my favorite part of Spring:)
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks and thanks:)
YOU take special care.

Sandra Cox said...

Yes, they must be frustrated. What I find so maddening is that the government isn't stepping in and making sure those folks have enough masks. They are risking so much, they should at least have requisite protection.
I trust in a couple of weeks you'll be inundated with blossoms and blooms.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Denise:)
I bet your Kindle is groaning. You give it a workout;)
Elbow bumps.

Sandra Cox said...

Sounds like good sleeping weather.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

I thought so too. Glad you liked it.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

They certainly do! I wish the government was doing half as much.
Thanks, Lee:) Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Sandra Cox said...

Kudos to Chris Mann for putting that one together.
Thanks and my pleasure.
Elbow bump:)
