I would love to share a post with all the exciting “Motherly” things I did this weekend, but well… on weekend nine (ten?) of Stay At Home… not much was different. We had snow/rain on Saturday and it was not warm enough to be outdoors on Sunday.
I did have calls with my kids… that was nice, but it would have been so much nicer to physically *be with them* (and honestly, there were tears all around)
Hilariously, PA is “opening Allegheny County” this Friday. However, without mass testing and contact tracing, I am not going to be running out to “re-enter” whatever used to be normal life.
However, I do have a couple of macro photos to share. Despite this miserable freaking weather, my chives have started to bloom! I love these little purple pompoms! They are one of my favorite things of spring!
That is all I have for today, I will be back on Wednesday for some Unraveling to share with you all. (And, for the next couple of weeks, it will only be Wednesday posts. I am taking a bit of a “blog vacation” but!! Wednesday’s will remain “vacation free days!”)
I hope you all had moments this weekend that brought you joy, see you all back here on Wednesday!
Beautiful chive blossoms. Are the flowers edible too? They could be really pretty in a salad. Enjoy your time away:)
Such gorgeous photos! These inspire me to work on my skills every time 🙂 This post also reminds me what a nice time of year this is to eat from the herb garden….my tarragon is growing like a weed right now. And it’s such a tasty one. Enjoy your step back this week!
I want to be in the yellow zone but only for the state of mind. Like you I am not tripping over myself to be in stores. A country drive to a state park would be nice!! Happy Mother’s day to you!!
Those chive blossoms are beautiful! My SiL likes to add them to eggs and she also makes chive blossom vinegar. Enjoy your vacation!
oh my goodness, I thought those were tulips … that’s some serious Macro work, Kat, and it looks beautiful!! Enjoy your vacation … I might be joining you (virtually of course 😉
Your chive blossoms are amazing – nice work with your camera. You’re still making me want one!! Our chives are also blooming, they’re so pretty!!
I’m sorry that your Mother’s Day wasn’t the best. This is such a weird time!! I’m glad to hear that you won’t be rushing out despite your county reopening. Things are moving much too quickly!!
I’ll miss your posts on your blog vacation, but I hope you enjoy your time away!
You did an excellent job on these photos, especially considering how tiny those flowers must be!
Mother’s Day was definitely hard. I did get to see my mother in person, but 6 feet away isn’t exactly the same. Like you, moving to yellow here doesn’t really make much of a difference, and I expect we’ll see an increase in cases as a result. I am home for the long haul.
Pretty, pretty chives. I’m glad you got to “see” your kids…that’s what I got too. But he did bring his girlfriend into the conversation so I was thrilled about that! We’ve only met her on FT one other time. Take a blog vacation and enjoy it!
Vacations in the time of coronavirus are the occasional necessity. Do what you gotta do, and we will be here whenever you show up. {{{hugs}}}
