View out my back window on Wednesday morning -
Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods!
We estimate that it's at least three weeks earlier than normal for us.
This tree usually blooms about mid April.
I forgot to share this photo last week. Here's my mom on St. Patrick's Day. They had made these cute little wooden leprechauns with each resident's photo in theirs. When Mom saw hers she said, "That's me!" 💚
We went to see this movie on Friday - so good! At last a science fiction movie with an alien that isn't scary, lol! Now I want to read the book.
Which reminds me...
And LeeAnna's question of the week is about our favorite breakfast cereal as a kid. My parents bought Chex, and my favorite one was Wheat Chex. And guess what? I still eat a bowl every morning! They're whole grain and crunchy, and really good with any fruit added on top.
How about a Colorado peach?
Or when peaches aren't in season,
I use whatever berries are in the store.
Yum!
Hope you're having a great week!
What a beautiful tree! We are still hovering around freezing so no blooms here yet. Cheerios have always been my favourite cereal… The plain ones, not the flavoured ones. Now, I eat toast with peanut butter for breakfast. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteThe crocuses are in bloom and the daffodils are bigger every day.
ReplyDeleteFor years I had cereal and Stevens had steel-cut oats. I had a box and a half of steel-cut left, so I cooked it up for myself and kept on with steel-cut. I hear him saying "I told you that it's good!" every morning.
Your mom's leprechaun is really cute. I've heard good things about Hail Mary, but I'll probably wait till it comes out on streaming services to watch it. I don't remember a favorite breakfast cereal as a kid. Being one of three, what we got was what ever my brother's (the youngest) favorite was at the time.
ReplyDeleteProject Hail Mary is a fabulous book! Listening on audible is also cool because you get to hear the music when the alien communicates. So is The Martian by the same author! We haven't seen the movie yet, but we will be going soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of tree is that, Diann? It looks similar to the Bradford Pear trees here in NC. Everyone complains about them. They are pretty but not native to the area and are quite invasive. Your mom is adorable. Love her little leprechaun. When is peach season in Colorado? We don't start getting peaches here until early June.
ReplyDeleteWhen I eat cereal, it’s Wheat Chex too. Wheaties come in a huge box. Wheat Chex is definitely more manageable. Love the photo of your mom and her little leprechaun. Thanks for the recommendation of Project Hail Mary.
ReplyDeleteGiggles, I love that meme. I try to choose wisely every day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty sight, that blooming tree! We too had Chex cereal on occasion. I liked the density of the wheat Chex.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture of your Mom. I see she is wearing green beads. :) I love Chex too! I kind of prefer the corn, but wheat is good too. I'd love some of your CO peaches.
ReplyDeleteit is odd seeing blooms on trees for your area and so many others - I would say a good third of the nation has early spring. We still get a night in the 30's now and then but rarely - I keep checking as I got my tomato plants but I'm not planting right now I'm keeping them on the deck table and we will have a night in the 30's soon I believe and I will put them inside by the door and then put them back outside and keep on until the weather is ready.
ReplyDeleteI love knowing your mom recognized herself in the photo I bet that made you have a happy moment too.
Favorite cereal - granola with fruit or/and yogurt
Your mother looks beautiful and the leprechaun with her picture is amazing. Our parents are so worth the care we can give them. ❤️
ReplyDeleteHaha! Wheat Chex was always my favorite as a kid, too!! Now I loves me some Post Raisin Bran (has to be Post, not Kellogg’s), but I only use it as crunch on top of my yogurt. I’m on our county library’s waiting list for Project Hail Mary. And both Bruce and I want to see the movie. That means I may go see it with a friend and Bruce will wait until it comes out on video.
