It's Tuesday

 Did everyone reset their clocks. No problem for us. Our bedroom clock resets itself...a week early. Why? I have no idea.

The amaryllis is also confused instead of blooming at the Christmas season it shot for Easter.

AND another floral oddity.  A little reminiscent of a black sheep in a herd of white.


 
AND the first violets of  Spring.


AND the garden wildlife.

AND last but not least, a delightful mail surprise from Rockin Ro. Thanks, Ro!

What's in your garden? Got fun mail?

Lovely pictures of those flowers! Are those all from your garden? Oddly enough, I had trouble sleeping last night and so of course, all day long I was grumpy and sleepy. Happy Tuesday!

Wonderful pictures Sandra, our clocks will be altered later this month.
Have a good Tuesday and take care.

Maybe your clock has some old programming from when daylight saving change over days were different. Our street lights used to get out of whack at changeover time. I think we change from summer time to correct time at the end of this month, right in the middle of Easter. For mine, I would keep daylight saving permanently.

Trying for the fifth time. Blessed blogger is being unfriendly again. Hopefully this comment will take. Love your garden blooms and the gift from RO rocks as much as she does.
There are hoyas and roses having a second flush in our garden, and our clocks go back at Easter. Unlike Andrew I will be happy to see it go. I think we start it too early and carry it on for too long.

Nice gift.
Some of our clocks reset themselves.

Natalie Aguirre said...

Love your flowers. My mom needs a clock like yours because she doesn't remember how to change the time anymore. Can't wait till it's warm enough in Michigan for flowers.

Those cat magnets are pretty.

Lovely gifts, and Frankie is a beautiful little monster. I'm back home! Valerie

Christine said...

Spring is alive and well at your place...that clock.,,

Sandra Cox said...

I hate when that happens.
Yes, those are the garden flowers, except for the first one, which is an indoor plant.
Have a great one. And Happy Tuesday to you, Yvonne.

Sandra Cox said...

Heh. Yes and yes.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Yvonne.
You have a great Tuesday also.

Your flowers are beautiful. Aside from the house-gift orchid on our dining table, our "garden" consists of one cilantro plant on our enclosed balcony. But we plan to keep several fresh herbs in pots out there. It gets wonderful light.

Sandra Cox said...

Maybe.
I'd be purrfectly happy to stay with daylight savings instead of flip-flopping back and forth. Though it's not nearly as irritating now that we are retired as when we were working.
Stay safe. Be well.

Such pretty flowers, Sandra:) it's always nice to fet surprises in the mail! Happy Tuesday.

Birgit said...

I reset our clocks not that we have many. Love your wildlife...what a sweetie! Our garden does not have any flowers but my hubby was out there cleaning everything up. Knowing March, I am waiting for one final big snow storm or ice storm...we shall see.

Sandra Cox said...

Blessed Blogger indeed.
I know your hoyas and roses are beautious.
I'd like us to get on one time and stay there. We had that when we lived in IN and it worked well.

Sandra Cox said...

Excellent!....As long as they pick the correct week:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Laurie:)
Violets are special aren't they?

Magic Love Crow said...

Such a happy post Sandra! I can't believe all your plants blooming! They are happy!! We still have a little snow. I love your fur baby! I love your happy mail! Big Hugs! (I just realized how much I said happy in this comment! LOL!)

The wildlife looks beautiful. I always changed my clocks Saturday afternoon or evening. It helps me adjust, but I also would be fine with having DST stay.

Love,
Janie

My bedroom clock doesn't change automatically anymore since they changed the the day/month that clocks change. It was hard coded into the clock. I lost the instructions for how to change it manually so I just leave and try to remember to add an hour. 😺 Your garden looks great, I love the odd flower. You fly your freak flag proudly, little flower! Kitty stamps are cute too as is the fluffy kitty.

Sandra Cox said...

You can't say happy too many times:)
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks:) Mail surprises are fun aren't they, Denise?
And Happy Tuesday to you:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks:)
The electronic clocks are much more challenging than what they used to be for sure.
Wishing you an abundance of spring flowers soon.

Sandra Cox said...

I think so too:)

Sandra Cox said...

Yay! I'm thrilled to hear that:)
Hugs

Sandra Cox said...

Herbs in pots sounds purrfect.

Sandra Cox said...

Yes, unfortunately there's still time for snow.
Hope you had a fun and relaxing day.

Sandra Cox said...

Great idea and I agree with DST staying.

Sandra Cox said...

Sounds like my car clock. I leave it alone too:)
Love: fly your freak flag proudly, little flower:)

Jeanie said...

That's a pretty slick clock! Not fun mail but essential -- a new router from the cable company, which will hopefully help increase my computer performance -- which is terrible!

Nice happy mail.
Your garden is looking good.
Spring has sprung in ours - the crocus and daffodil are looking good.

All the best Jan

Adoro a tu gata es muy linda y me gustaron tu violetas. Te mando un beso

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Sandra - wonderful to see the amaryllis flower now - gorgeous; while the others are special too - especially the 4 legged beaut! We're into daffodils, crocus and like you other Spring flowers. Enjoy the week - Hilary

Sandra Cox said...

We got a new router too recently. Wonderful things:)

Sandra Cox said...

Crocus and daffodils. What lovely spring harbingers.
Take special care.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, J.P. I'm sending you a hug.

Sandra Cox said...

Glad you've got Spring flowers, Hils.
Thanks.
You enjoy the week too.

It's good to see such beautiful flowers, Sandra. Mine aren't out yet but I rely on you for a real garden.

Lee said...

Thankfully, we don't have daylight saving here in Queensland.

Sandra Cox said...

Aww. You're kind.
Hope your flowers 'spring' soon:)
Hugs

Sandra Cox said...

Good on you for that.
